They are all separate.

Do you know your plate frame was the issue? Your charge covers everything from dirty plates to spare tires and bumper bars.

I have a decent explanation with proof.

Do you have a defense or an excuse? Excuses aren't going to take you far in a trial. Keep that in mind when preparing a defense.

Red light camera tickets aren't going to impact your insurance, which is why many here don't really worry about them. They don't know who is driving so you can have piece of ...

If nothing comes in the mail, does that mean I got lucky and they "lost" the case, or the cop never filed the ticket? Should I call their local courthouse and ask - in which case if they forgot about it would it restart the process? If i don't receive anything in the mail and never pay/follow up on the ticket what would happen, seeing as i got no ...

Red light camera will go off when the light is red, your vehicle is behind the line, and then proceeds to pass the line. It will give you an amount of time on how long the light had already been red when your car passes the line (eg. 0.9 seconds)

That being said, you'd need to be in an intersection that takes advantage of red light camera tech ...

If you already have a court date, you can just show up like you would have normally. If there is room on your charge to offer you a deal, they will do so before they start any trials. You'll have a room full of others with the same trial time as you and you'll all get in line. Offers will be made one after the other.

Any conviction could impact your insurance.

Your provider may choose to ignore your first offense or they may not even notice it till it's gone from your abstract. It depends on the provider.

What you choose to do is up to you. If the points aren't an issue and you have some spare time, request a trial and learn as you go. You'll still be offered ...

I dont understand the options I have? I want to go deal with the charges but I dont know if I should pick the second option or the third option? Both require me to go to court at the same address. Do I go there at any business hours and look for ways to deal with the tickets?

Option 2 is simply a plea deal. If there is room to offer you a lesser ...

Hi Guys,

Today I was driving down Dundas st in Oakville and I was late for an appointment I had. I wasnt paying attention to my speed or the speed limit. I was stopped and given a $220 ticket for doing 90 in a 60 zone. 1. Im a 19 year old student 2. I dont work, therefore dont have $220. 3. My parents pay the insurance and this will cause it to ...

Usually you can't just show up with pictures. There's a process with submitting pictures before your trial date that maybe someone else can go through in better detail. Make sure you go through these steps before your date if you plan on bringing photos.

What are my chances of getting the charges dismissed ?

Based on it being a so-called petty ticket? None. Pettiness is subjective to the beholder, that's why the law draws a line in the sand. That line is 7am. Compassion and/or an officers pettiness is not a defense. The question is going to be whether or not you made a right turn after 7am and ...

As previous stated, workers present only impacts your set fine. You're still speeding whether they are there or not, but your fine increases. The extra fine is there for you to be extra cautious, similar to Community Safety Zones.

The temporary speed limit isn't solely dependent on workers being present. Construction brings different conditions to ...

Thanks for the confirmations. I was not stopped for more than 3 minutes

You already said it was 30 seconds and now you've gone to 3 minutes. Not that it matters to me, but if you take it to trial like you're suggesting, they are going to nit pick your statements.

If I go to the town hall to appeal this (I guess that's 'First Attendance'?), and ...

So, if I should get a notice of impending conviction in the mail in 2 weeks, can I fight to get the ticket dismissed on these terms?

Town of Markham :

"Park" or "Parking" means the halting of a vehicle, whether occupied or not, except when halting temporarily for the purpose of and while actually engaged in loading or unloading goods or ...

I just got a speeding ticket for 15km/h over which was reduced from 23km/h over. It was 65 in a 50 zone which I knew very well, so to prevent myself from speeding, I always use cruise control to 55km/h.

Were you going downhill?

There was a car passing me when I was signaled to pull over. Is there a possibility that the officer shot the radar ...

Legally, you would have the right to walk across without being impeded in this situation.

Personally, if there's no one behind the vehicle and they're waiting for an opportunity to merge, i'll just walk behind them.

Just want to make sure, but it was the vehicle that was behind you on a single lane highway?

If the vehicle behind you couldn't brake in time to avoid an accident with you in front, i'm not sure where your charge comes from. If anything, he should be charged.

Hand/Arm signals are sufficient for farming equipment as long as you are plainly ...

Sheila wrote:Hi I have been told that the 407 ETR is using their time stamp of when you enter the 407 and when you excite the 407 to see if you have been speeding and have been or will be mailing speeding tickets out from that information. Does anyone know if this was true or even legal?

Thanks
Sheila

No, it's not true.

Well, I didn't get any demerits and I have full G

Your demerit points will show up on your abstract the day you are convicted, not charged. If you're a full G license and you're not getting tickets regularly, they are not too much of a big deal either way.

Thanks a lot, any advice on this?

Speeding is an absolute liability offense. This ...

He charged me with 129 km/h but as he has written in his notes I was going 131 km/h.

He reduced it to 129 so the charge comes with 3 demerit points instead of 4. If you're a novice driver without a full G license, the difference would save you a suspension. If that's going to be an issue, it's something to highly consider. Should you go all the ...

Did the officer need to tell me that there was video evidence?

No, but it IF it exists it will be provided upon request.

The officer never informed me that there was video evidence. And if I was being recorded after I was stopped, I was never informed of that either. Does the officer need to tell me that I am being recorded?

The reason I am ...

I was polite and cooperative with the officer, however he did not listen to a word I had to say.

The side of the road isn't a courtroom. Don't take it personal. Probably best you didn't say too much anyways.

I did not run a red light, and I did not make an improper right turn. I believe intersection has a red-light camera, which I never ...

I highly doubt they are going reduce your tickets to something like a parking ticket.

Seeing how it sounds like your wife received two tickets from the same maneuver, it would probably be more likely they'll drop one and ask her to plead guilty to the other.

Does anybody know how the appeal process works specifically? Do I fill out a bunch of forms to be granted access to a judge, at which point I tell my appeal story...or do I fill in my story on paper, they read it and either grant or dismiss my appeal?

They give you a simple form to fill out. Once you fill it out, you will have to put down a ...

Probably not.

The resonator helps get rid of high tin can raspy noise you hear from some cars. The muffler will take care of the rest.

Make sure you're not tempted to start touching your cat converters. It's illegal to run test pipes/long tube header from an emissions standpoint. The sound from the exhaust will also crank up enough to get you ...

From a technical standpoint, yes it would be legal. As long as you're bolting them up straight to a set of catalytic converters and not replacing them with a set of test pipes while you're at it.

That being said, there's a noise factor that is vague. There's no noise chart to go off of in the highway traffic act. If an officer deems the noise to ...

What's been posted is a exactly what you should expect.

It can be adjourned and you can receive disclosure, or you will be told you've had opportunity and your trial date is not the time or place to be requesting disclosure at the last second.

Either that or they give you disclosure right then and there. It won't be enough time for you study and ...

i have read though most post an its telling me the trial option would be the best and i think thats what i will do but i would like some help on how to win this case. they said i entered the intersection after the light been red for .06 seconds and went through the light at 1.5 sec. now on the day in question i didn't notice the light was changed ...

2nd ticket - He had asked for my license, ownership, and insurance. He came back and told me how my "ownership documents" did not have a valid permit sticker on it BUT my license plate has the valid sticker. I was in shock as I never have heard that you also have to have a sticker on your "ownership documents".


When you get new plate stickers ...

No

1. I have a newer model car that comes with a bluetooth.

Bluetooth is only as good as someone who has taken the time to pair the devices. It doesn't prove your innocence, but I guess it's a point that could be made.


2. As per officer he was on duty 6am to 6pm. I received the ticket 6:40pm

He gave you the hours of a regular day shift. He ...
