Ontario Highway Traffic Act

The HTA is an ACT. It is NOT LAW. Acts and statutes are ONLY enforcable as law with the CONSENT of the governed.

If you do not consent you cannot be charged.

You actually consented when you stepped foot on Canadian Soil! If You don't want to consent, here's an idea, leave Canada!

You can't be like oh well I don't want to be charged so I do not ...

The cop pulled me over on highway. There were two emergency vehicle on the right shoulder. The cop in the back car came behind my car. while passing another stopped emergency vehicle he did not move over. Was he required by law to move over for another emergency vehicle even if it was only 1 and half car length away?

It would not make sense for ...

I would not really count on that tho, just in case the other 50% comes true.

nitsz, I would recommend when posting, try to make your posts a bit more organized and formatted with proper paragraph spacing etc...

That will help our members read the essay better, and provide you with faster replies.

I suppose it may be helpful to give the letters exact text so here is what it said exactly

WE ARE RETURNING YOUR OFFENCE NOTICE:

Your ticket is considered cancelled by the Ontario Court of Justice, Provincial Offences Office. Therefore no trial is required and this ticket will not exist on our records.

As a result your information is bieng ...

Just another follow up post. If you have any information that can clear this up for me please reply.

I sent my ticket in and plead not guilty and that i intended to challenge the evidence against me.

A week later i recieved a letter from the court that says that the ticket was considered canceled and will not exist in there records. I am ...

Great Job man! That's the way to work the system. Public awareness scares them and so do essays!

I received a similar ticket at that intersection of Bronson Avenue and Carling Avenue. I will be fighting this ticket and it appears that they have made my argument for me. The ticket states I approached the intersection after the light had been red for 4.6 seconds, and proceeded through the intersection when the light had been red for 6.3 seconds ...

but in this case, the driver made a right turn... are you saying that you will still lose if you use this argument?

Red light camera tickets should not be fought the traditional way. You will lose in trial. Why? Well there is a Picture of YOU going through the red light! :P

It might be better to just try to get a plea bargain and get your fine ...

On your first attendance the prosecutor will likely try to get you to plead down to "Follow too close", which is about the same fine, but less demerit points.

Follow Too Close = $110, 4 Demerit Points. So you save a couple hundred dollars on the ticket and 2 demerit points but you're still looking at a possible insurance increase.

At least ...

So I decided to pay this $20 parking ticket.

I went to the City of Guelph website to pay parking tickets online.

Then I saw:

A convenience fee of $2.50 is applied to every transaction.

They should not be allowed to pass on the transaction fees to us. That is the Cities operation cost. Why do we have to ...

If I got a traffic ticket, I would not bother playing with the points as they do not DIRECTLY affect my rates. I would play with pleading to other charges based on whether they were classified as minor or major convictions, or had no affect on my insurance like many municipal and "car owner" charges. Some companies have a third category even more ...

Demerit points > suspension > insurance increase. The suspension directly affects your insurance rate.

Indirect? Such as Demerit Points lead to Suspension which leads to increase in Insurance is REALLY indirect? :roll:

Here's an idea, get a Traffic Ticket, play with the POINTS, then see how much or not the insurance company raises you! :P

An offer for a two-demerit charge in exchange for a 6-demerit charge is obviously an improvement, but if you have a very strong case, don't settle for an offer of "no demerit points," as it may still count as a conviction on your insurance record.

Yes I agree, do not settle for a case when you can win! This is about when you can't win!

When you ...

I wouldn't call it indirectly, but directly since Demerit Points CAN directly impact your insurance rates by putting you over your G2, G points limit and resulting in a license suspension.

Also, the higher the points DIRECTLY means higher the conviction.

A 6 Pointer is definitely worse than a 2 Pointer in terms of a Conviction.

If by indirectly ...
