Re: Going 125 Km on 404 N highway

You're saying you 'imagine the car sped up to 126-127', he's going to say his calibrated authorised equipment said 130. See where this is going ?

Re: HTA 144(18.1) - photo evidence of "approaching" the intersection

I do think you are failing to see the woods for the individual trees you are looking at. One minute isn't going to be considered enough for a quash.

On the other issue you are asking the JP to effectively cancel every such ticket in the province or to dig up roads to move the coils. It just isn't going to happen. For a second, imagine that they ...

I'm afraid you're going down a route that others have tried and failed at. Just because the pictures do not contain all the elements of the offence does not mean that the charge is not made out. You must have approached the intersection in order to be there. And just because you cannot see the front bumper does not mean the JP cannot make an ...

Re: careless driving because pedestrian claims my car hit her

There is a lawyer working your case so let them do their job. The amount of the claim is ludicrous and she is just hoping for an easy settlement. If the insurance company want to give her one to save on legal fees then that is fine but there is no way (based on what you have told us) that it is even going to be close to the million limit.

How the second summons came to be reissued is irrelevant to your situation. You have to deal with the fact that it has been.

There is nothing to stop you trying to plead your case for a no licence deal - you may get a different Crown or the same Crown in a better mood. You have nothing to lose by asking.

Other than that, you're going to be really ...

Re: Novice Driver BAC above zero G2

What is it that you think you don't deserve ? As a new/young driver the law doesn't have a threshold where your ability to drive is impaired as it does for older/more experienced drivers - it sets the limit at zero.

You chose to ignore this, rolled the dice and lost.

I would think that was a logical explanation. Either the officer or someone else at the station noticed the wrong date and binned it. They could serve you a replacement ticket but the chances of that are essentially nil.

That is true but as they are in big yellow boxes everyone assumes that there is a camera in each one and therefore doesn't speed.
