On a speeding ticket I chose Option 2 - meet a prosecutor.

I never heard from them until they suspended my license. I will now pay the fine in order to get my license back as soon as possible but I want to fight this. How do I go about it after the fact ?

You already asked this question and you got the perfect answer. Go to the courthouse and ...

I know that Careless Driving is really hard to prove, so what type of proof do the prosecutors usually provide for this case scenario where the defendant is at fault?

How about you hit a car from behind which means you were too close to the vehicles in front of you and you didn't leave enough space for this very scenario?

Careless Driving isn't ...

I got 149km'h over 4 points and $343 ticket I was told points will be erased next dec. What to expect from insurance.

Insurance company doesn't care about points because they don't use them. Generally, you'd want to avoid any 50 and plus conviction because the difference between 49 and 50 can be huge. As already pointed out, it will depend on ...

Red light offense is an absolute liability. Your defense will have to be "I never ran a red light and here's why...".

Technical errors that would effect your ability to defend yourself and Defence of Necessity are your last two options. So either there's an error on the offense so blatant that it makes it impossible to defend yourself against the ...

Careless Driving is not an easy charge to defend. It's not so clear cut when it comes to debating what is careless and what isn't.

There's a possibility that you will be offered a plea deal in exchange for your guilt. Your defense of "the driver hit the brakes in front of me when he should have just went" is not going to win anyone over. You have ...

The cop made a mistake on the type notes: wrong postal code and wrong drivers license.

The original hand written notes are correct regarding address and drivers licence number. However, the typed notes (second disclosure received) have the mistakes.

Can I argue this? Will this be grounds for dismissal?

They wouldn't be a valid argument on the ...

Officers don't get to pick and choose when they want to attend court. They will be there unless there is a valid circumstance that would prevent them from attending.

If your goal is to simply check if a reduced charge will be made available to you, you can request either an early resolution meeting or a trial. If there is an opportunity to further ...

You'd have to look up your local bylaw on how designated handicap spots are treated. Some cities/towns will make mention of pavement markings and their required colours, others will have no such requirements. If the officer claims there doesn't need to be markings, there's a good chance he's correct. You can always double check to make sure, though ...

take it and run.

Also, I have a dash cam and have the video and audio recorded. The video shows that no cars were turning right (very clear). While the cop told me to fight it in court (overtime $$$), I am very interested in doing so now, just to bring the dash cam evidence to prove I was not performing an "unsafe/dangerous turn" and to show his unprofessionalism ...

Isn't attending court and trying for a reduced charge fighting it? I don't need it thrown out but dropped to 15 over. Would they not be of help?

Depending where the court is, there can be around 30 people with the same trial time and court room as you. They will all line up and the prosecutor will look up the charge one by one and see what they ...

I have an appointment for a consult with points coming up to get their opinion, but its their business to take clients so Id like to hear what people here have to say.

Points generally will not make any attempts at fighting your ticket. They will attend court try for a reduced charge. You can accomplish the same thing yourself by showing up for ...

I had a same question. How long can you wait out before you accept the prosecutor's offer? If you say you will plead not-guilty and then when stand on trial and the JP asks what you plead, can you then say that you plead guilty to 10 over the speed limit?

The Prosecutor will let you know what deal they are going to offer (if any). If you need ...

He asked me why I had called my brother instead of the police. I said because I was 1 minute away from his house, and he was expecting me.

This is a legitimate question, not that your intentions were to avoid the police. Once you hit the sign and cause any damage to public property, it's your obligation to notify the police. While you weren't ...

Demerit points last 2 years and are calculated from the day you were charged, NOT the day of your potential conviction. They are not on your abstract till a conviction, but will remain 2 years from the day you initially received your ticket. If it takes 6 months for a conviction, you will only see your demerit points for a year and a half.

Anyone ...

Anyone else has advice? Why did I get careless driving for this?

It wasn't for hitting the door. You're not at fault when someone opens their door on you, but it sounds like it's for the accident afterwords. When in an accident, you have to maintain reasonable control of your vehicle. Some people panic when in an accident and do stuff like hit ...

Let's just get this out of the way. You are a terrible driver. You are probably the worst sober driver i've read about here in some years. That being said, here's what you need to know:

- You inquired about your current insurance situation and how it will impact your currents rates. Don't be surprised if you get a letter in the mail from your ...

Just so you are aware, your license will be suspended for 30 days if you are convicted. As a G2 driver, you are subject you Novice Driver Escalating Sanctions. If you are convicted of 4 or more points on a single charge, you will automatically be suspended.

If you got pictures of the scene, post them (no need for closeup damage pictures). The fact ...

No, the section you were charged with is there to prevent exactly what you did.

Take the next exit and get back on the highway going in the opposite direction.

1. My first trial date is on Monday and they just notified me that my disclosure is ready today (Friday), there is no way I'm going to get there by the time they close as I live pretty far from where the court is. I'm going to end up receiving my disclosure on the day I attend court. Can I go into court and request that it be adjourned so that I ...

1. He said he was video taping and recording. How do i get a copy of both the video and recording?

Request a trial, receive your Notice of Trial, and request disclosure. If there is video evidence, it will be provided with your request.

2. It wasnt an unsafe turn if the guy was not speeding (officer even said he was going at a clip) in ...

but I'm wondering what my chances are of beating the ticket, or if I should even bother.

It doesn't sound like you have a defense going. Your chances of beating this ticket are just as good as anyone else who requests a trial for a ticket without a defense. Maybe you'll catch a break along the way, but there's no secret handshake that will make ...

He wrote I hit the stop sign since I told him. he did not know what happens, so he only listened to witness's testimony (towing guy), i think. I did not notice it was scratched at that time. but the towing guy wrote this on the report.

The damage to your own vehicle is also a factor in reporting an accident.

Post your disclosure in its entirety ...

The officer probably has his laser testing times on its own sheet. Since he's on laser duty, he writes it down once instead of writing it down every single time he pulls someone over (which would be a lot). When they pulled up your disclosure, they missed the note. Request disclosure again and explain you're missing this information.

What did the officer write in the disclosure?

So I was wondering, given the fact that it wasn't my car...do I have a chance in court?

You are responsible as the driver of a vehicle to make sure it is suitable for the road, whether it's yours or not.

Whether or not you are offered a plea deal right before trial is one thing, but you are not going to be successful in a trial with your ...

I'm just going to go on a complete guess since there isn't enough information. Some may apply to you, some may not.

You car is running rich and you've got some unburnt fuel sparking up in your exhaust. I'm going to assume you're not using your stock catalytic converter(s) and replaced them with something less restrictive or you'd be cooking that ...

Can you tell me which Highway traffic act shows I have to stay if the stop sign got scratched? Note: I did not notice it is scratched at the time since it is not tilted, not falling down. But the towing guy said it was a kind of scar in his report. I know that if the damage is not apparently higher than $1000, I don't need to report immediately ...

Are you using your catalytic converters?

You either have a defense or you get lucky along the way. Since it doesn't sound like you have much of a defense, request a trial, request disclosure, and go from there.
