Yeah, ok...........don't you have another site to go and troll.

I would just pay it. Sounds like you got a deal - the copper could have been writing for a while !

Call your councillor. That sounds like nonsense.

Maybe time to get the flu LOL

Signalling turns and stops
Signal for left or right turn
142. (1) The driver or operator of a vehicle upon a highway before turning to the left or right at any intersection or into a private road or driveway or from one lane for traffic to another lane for traffic or to leave the roadway shall first see that the movement can be made in safety, and ...

These are serious charges with the potential to prevent you driving for a long long time (suspension followed by prohibitive insurance rates). I'd suggest formal legal advice and they can work through downgrading of or reduction to the charges. This is too serious for you to handle on your own with anonymous internet help.

On what basis do you think you can fight this? It's a laser ticket and the officer has listed speed, distance and bracketing tests.

If someone was more than 50 over we were directed by crown to lay both a stunt charge and a speeding charge.

This isn't a forum to discuss civil court matters.

It sounds like your insurance company told you what to. Get your G before registering the conviction.

oh another point...

IF you DONT WANT the insurance company to increase your fees, here is a thought.

1> lay low and DONT contact your insurance. THEY will run a DMV on you IF they want, sometimes at re-newal, sometimes not.
IF they ASK YOU you must TELL them (only if you get convicted) but if they DONT ASK YOU , the nyou dont need to tell them ...

Why would you communicate with your insurance provider ? Leave it for them to find it out if and when they do a check on renewal. One ticket isn't going to break the bank on a premium and my agency don't increase at all for the first.

We also have the ludicrous situation where, unless you are transferring a vehicle, you never have to get it inspected. In Europe vehicles older that 3 years are inspected every year to make sure they are roadworthy.

"Why is it that cops are not checked for their excessive high speeds ?"
.........that's plural and suggests it's a common place occurrence

"a Durham off duty cop in a personal vehicle caught going 60 + over the limit"
...........that's one case

Stop jumping to conclusions.

Back to the issue at hand as opposed to the unsubstantiated cop ...

Police are trained in pursuit driving. The vast vast vast majority of other drivers have no high speed training. What would you like, a special sticker for people who have taken special training so they can drive faster than everyone else ?

Your desire to make a post saying that jail time is unnecessary or inappropriate for this offence turned ...

OK. Well you are obviously going ahead with this so keep us posted.

I don't think you have demonstrated any intentional deceit or misconduct on the part of the officer - at best perhaps providing some information that was incorrect about a different agency and that, regardless, you got cleared up right away.

As for the charge, he drove a car ...

Absolutely. My agency gives you the first for free.

It isn't mandatory in law but some Services might have policies concerning such matters.

I acknowledge your desire to help but I would suggest his best option is to ask for a reduced fine based on ability to pay. ? think we can agree too that when an officer doesn't know the answer, that he or she shouldn't pretend to know the answer. What the officer said placed pressure on my relative to plead guilty and pay immediately so that he ...

I suspect the officer noticed the error and shredded the ticket, moving on to other things. None of us like getting quashed tickets back.

I'm afraid you're clutching at straws. You say that the officer clearly indicated that he knew the licence was expired at the time of the stop. That's his reason to pull the vehicle over. He would likely have been running random plates and got a hit which precipitated the stop but he then wanted to do a doublecheck or perhaps run the licence ...

It is simply not possible to register that reading 5 hours after a single glass of wine, whatever the quality. You've come to a forum with some extremely experienced police officers who've been dealing with alcohol related investigations for decades. People downplay the amount they drank all the time.

If you think it's ok to do it for a hockey game then I'm assuming you think it's ok for all other sorts of occasions. What about a wedding, a high school ball game, a trip to a party......?

It's either dangerous or it's not.

I have to disagree with karra regarding the following too close being as bad as a careless. I'm with cooperators and they showed me the chart that lists major and minor tickets and any minor has the same impact on insurance as any other minor and the same for majors. Careless is a major, follow too close is a minor. While follow too close doesn't ...

Well yes, he is a moron but you might get lucky. He won't be listed on your insurance as a G1 driver but when he gets his G2 and is listed the premium might takes jump.

Technically speaking the copper can realize his mistake and issue a new ticket but the chances of that are very very small. He dodged a bullet but I hope he realizes what a ...

You will be prohibited from driving for a year on conviction and you are going to have a very hard time finding insurance at even the most obscene rates when you do finally get to the point when you drive again

I wouldn't think so. The matter was dealt with in a timely fashion by way of a conviction being entered.
