This area is a radar spot. The officers wait under the Queens Drive bridge and point probably 1000ft ahead as the limit goes from 100km to 70km. There's nothing spontaneous about being pulled over here.

How prepared are you really for trial? Have you requested disclosure or not? They aren't going to send it to you if you don't ask.

The difference between no location (Fatal) and incorrect location (non-fatal) is that incorrect location is at least plottable on the map. Make an argument that this is no location because it cannot be plotted on the map.

Your ticket has the name of the street and that is suffiecent enough for a ticket. The disclosure should have more details ...

thanks,


the speeding tickets that i have had over the years usually have sometype of cross street, perhaps not completely accurate but enough where i could find the actual place or at least plant it on a map. i got on bayview from leslie I believe and went southbound and southbound bayview from there runs several kms...changes speed many times ...

Now..can I request for disclosure via mail again because its not his job to send me the documents..?

Definitely not. If he's not good enough to pick up the disclosure, he's not good enough to represent you. Therefore, your trial should have continued as usual and you should have been found guilty for no showing. I suggest you prepare to defend ...

I explained that it couldn't be so that maximum what I could be doing is 68kmh and it considering that I accelerated when I entered a 60 zone.

You made a pretty big mistake here. I don't know why you'd incriminate yourself like that. Whether you're doing 68 in a 60 or a 50, you're still speeding. Accelerating into 60 zone from a 50 isn't an ...

What if the officer did not show up? Is there anyway he would be able to find out this information and get the charges dropped?

It depends on the prosecutor. I've seen prosecutors who will drop the charges and move on if the officer isn't available. I've seen prosecutors who will pretend like the officer is there and go through the whole ...

Ask for disclosure at the trial? Sorry that doesnt make sense?

Yes. 6 weeks isn't an unreasonable amount of time to wait for disclosure. It's not going to be considered anyone's fault. They will likely have disclosure ready for you at the trial that you can pick up. They will reschedule your trial to another date.

Obviously, I know they are ...

I did pull over before he put on the emergency lights, but I saw the officer pull out of his spot under the overpass and I thought I heard a siren so I proceeded to slow down and move to the right. I'm not sure if pulling over in itself would be treated as admitting guilt, but if it is, I would like the community's advice on how to proceed ...

Since it was a company vehicle I was driving, will my personal car insurance rate go up due to my speeding ticket?

The tickets are charged against the number on the license of the offender. At the end of the day, the vehicle you were driving has no factor on what shows up on your driving abstract. It'll show on your abstract when convicted (eg ...

What license class do you hold? Sounds like a G2, correct?

HOV lanes are clearly marked. They are usually marked both with signage and road markings in the form of a diamond. It's usually marked every 100 metres on the pavement. It's your responsibility to know how to read Ontario road signs when you get behind a wheel. While it may have been an honest mistake, ignorance is not a valid defense.

I'm going to agree with what was already said.

Your appeal will not be "trial 2.0". It's not an attempt at proving why the was officer wrong when he issued you a ticket. An appeal is your chance to prove that for some reason, you weren't given a fair shot at a trial. There's many reasons for this, but change of heart isn't one of them. It doesn't ...

The 401 was filled with big trucks and I was nervous and attempted to take them over and had to speed.

I suggest you get someone to represent you and never repeat this statement in court.



Also, on the summons to defendant note, the office wrote the date wrong. he wrote Issued this day: 25 Feb 2013 where it should have been March.


Doesn't ...

I recently made the worst mistake of my life, currently 22 was driving home from downtown toronto when Igot pulled over by a police car, I had a few drinks officer knew i was under the influence arrested me and took me into the police station to do a breathalyzer, I refused to do it and was released 3 hours later. Car is now impounded for 7 days ...

I was ticketed early December on the 401 near London and to-date have not received a notice of trial. I promptly sent my request for trial <15 days after the incident and I requested a signature upon delivery (which I have). What should I do, wait and see, or should I be proactive and call the Provincial Offences court in London to see if I have a ...

I don't want to be forced to go to trial, but if the officer doesn't show
or there is some other reason that the charge gets dropped I don't
want to stop it from happening.

Lots of prosecutors won't let you on to the fact that the officer is either there or not. Just because the officer is not in the courtroom doesn't mean they are not in the ...

which in many ways is against our freedom to travel around without penilties,

um, what?

but here is a little unknown point you can make if they (cops) do try to make you submitt to one of their tests which of course they will fine you if you go above the Governments set limit;

There is no set limit and there is no test. If you want to quote ...

I'm curious to see the wording of this letter. Not that it might help much, but now i'm curious.

Hello all,

In revieiwing some of the forums, I have come up with a question - it is not specific to any circumstance, situation or forum, but just a thought. From what I understand, an alleged offender has 15 days to select one of three options when a ticket is issued. An officer has seven days to submit his/her report/paperwork/tickets. Many ...

8 months is not unreasonable.

Thanks for the reply. You seem to know what you're talking about.

Actually, I just checked my ownership document, and although my car is dark metallic green, it says "GRY" on the ownership. DOH!

Even if it said "dark metallic green", it wouldn't have made a difference. An officer is not expected to to know every color code made by every car ...

All I'm telling you is I've never heard of it. The officer would have to have enough evidence to proceed with a charge. The system allows you to challenge that in court. We have many policies and procedures but not for every conceivable action that we might take. That's where common sense comes into play.

Agreed. It's one thing that procedures ...

- You are to drive according to the weather conditions. Wet roads aren't an excuse to get into accidents, or in your case, drive into a ditch.

- What the driver does in front of you is irrelevant. You are to leave enough space in front of yourself and the vehicle in front of you so you can come to a full stop. Since you had to put the car in a ...

What exactly did you hit? Was it one of those concrete/steel posts (bollards) they put up to keep you from accidentally driving into their equipment? If so, I'd highly doubt they are going to waste their time pursuing this.

Adding further, devices are to be mounted or securely placed in your vehicle for button access. Using a headset that requires touching to turn on is also OK. Holding the device in your hand, if that's what happened, is going to be another argument against you.

You are free to continue your path towards trial, but I'd probably suggest another game ...

I feel like being honest and showing the judge that my case is unique might be the better bet.


Your case is not unique. There's nothing unique about using a cell phone while sitting at a red light. Putting your vehicle in park has little meaning because it doesn't sound like you were either off the roadway or parked lawfully. Could you get out ...

G2 license is nonrenewable (unless you received your G2 4+ years after your G1 and have less than a year remaining to exit out of the class). They will also offer temporary license extension to those who have scheduled a road test just after their expiring date. If not, you will have to reapply for a G1. If you do it within years of expiring, you ...

- He never stated any other repurcussions. I was not told (as I understand the HTA) that if guilty I lose my license an additional 30 days. I am also unclear whether I have to 'start over again' with a G1...?

Is there some reason you are against just faxing it?

You can go to Staples, Kinkos, and usually any place that copies or prints if you don't have access to a machine.

-Do insurance companies check driver records at every renewal?

This really depends on the insurance company, but usually not. You can go a whole 3 years before they ever check again. People usually say unless there's been a lot of activity (e.g. New cars on your policy) they don't check. I'd probably think it's just more random than that. I ...
