Because your average driver doesn't know all that much about demerit points.

If you ask a random person, they tend to think demerit points sit on their record for life waiting to be accumulated or that their insurance provider is also keeping tabs on their points.

Demerit points last 2 years from the day you were given your ticket. Until you're ...

Disclosure requests typically aren't mailed out anymore. 10 years ago maybe. They are to be made available to you, but they don't have to leave it on your doorstep. Are phone numbers required on a request? There's no rule saying it is. However, simply leaving an address is lacking. They will probably want to let you know your package is ready ...

How much more are you expecting out of a disclosure request for parking tickets?

What exactly are you looking for?

This is a subject that gets brought up quite frequently on these forums.

That situation being, multiple signs saying the same thing and an issue with one particular sign.

In problem areas, it's not uncommon for a municipality to put up multiple signs warning of the same thing. In most cases, one or more of those signs might not even be properly ...

I don't believe these go away.

What you received was an administrative suspension.

It does not require a trial or a conviction. "Well, I have the right to a trial" is usually the first response . Short answer, the courts have decided that driving is a privilege and not a right. That means that administrative suspensions are fine and dandy ...

It should not, but sometimes it's a problem. This is especially the case for bicycles.

The only time this ever becomes an issue is when the officer doesn't make a distinction between whether or not a motor vehicle is used.

It happens with bicycles quite a bit where someone pays a ticket and then gets a shock later on when they have demerit points ...

If you're looking to challenge the charge, you can start by requesting a trial. From there you can make a disclosure request and see some of the evidence against you. Almost all municipal websites will have information on where to submit your request and they'll most likely have a generic form for your convenience. I believe Mississauga has an ...

You were charged on October 18th, 2017. You sent in your disclosure request when you received your Notice of Trial on December 4th. You followed up on December 13. Your trial date is January 31st, 2017.

All in all, it's a pretty tight time frame when you consider the holidays. It's not their fault, it's not yours. You should expect to wait several ...

If your goal is to simply receive a reduction, save your money and do it yourself. You're in a position where a paralegal isn't necessary.

This gets said repeatedly around here, but points are rather worthless. Unless you're not a fully licensed driver or you manage to get pulled over every other week, they are mostly meaningless. Your insurance ...

In terms of insurance, careless driving considered top tier of driving charges. Pretty much worst of the worst. 100% increase on insurance and you run the risk of being booted.

At the very least you should try to see if they are willing to offer a lesser charge.

Probably at worst, the registered owner of the vehicle will get a letter warning that someone reported your driving. It wouldn't be enough to witness a car drive through a stop sign. For this particular charge, the driver would need to be identified.

That being said, transit drivers spend their whole day on the roads and in his head you're ...

Be aware how reciprocal agreements work in your state.

For example, Ontario will take a charge from another province or state and treat it as if it took place here.

That means whatever is 0 points here may not be in your state. I believe any speeding charge in Michigan carries points.

Argyll is 100% correct, so i'm not sure why you've taken offense to the answer you were given.

Speeding is called an absolute liability offense in Ontario. That means you were either speeding or you weren't. Either you were doing 50 or you weren't. There's no " I was speeding, but....".

I was not speeding....I was clocked just after the sign ...

Is this all taking place in Alberta?

He wants to dispute it based on extenuating circumstances. He's only ever fought one ticket many years ago.

Thoughts on that?


There's the type of situation where medical assistance is required and the type where you don't want to walk an additional 50 feet. One they'd take into consideration, the other will most likely go in one ear and out ...

That's actually incorrect. The owner of the vehicle is responsible for ensuring their vehicle is insured, has proper validation and permits, ect... In the end, someone will have to pay the ticket and it's probably going to be the owner. It is the owner' vehicle afterall which also mean it is their expired validation sticker. The friend can't be ...

You'll be able to talk to the prosecutor the day of your trial. They may offer you a reduced charge. If you choose to accept, you'll plead guilty to the new charge. If they don't offer you anything, you can still plead guilty. If you want to continue with a trial, you can do that too.

You and your father will need to fill out an excluded driver form which can be found here . Hand it off to your insurance provider and let them know you don't want him on the policy. Or you can just ask your insurance provider and they'll get you started.

Be aware that once you fill out this form, he can't drive your vehicle under any ...

My red was red for 0.3 seconds, my delay was 1.1 seconds and it says I was travelling 44km/hr in both pictures. According to this then, I travelled 14 metres or 47 feet. In that time I have only travelled one car length.

I don't believe the speed reading changes throughout the pictures. It should be the same initial reading on all of them.

Now ...

Thanks again.

What's the goal here? Not drilling plate holes in the bumper?

but what was the reason for having two signs in the first place? can it argued that people should do totally ok with only one sign? then why the waste of money? apologies if not getting on the points, first time fighting a ticket, trying to get a brain storm.

Signs have regulations. It's to insure that signs are placed with consistency and they ...

1) the sign is really hard to see, it was erected a few meters to the left of the shoulder as you can see in the photo. the sign is so bad (I am talking about the sign on the pole on other side of the street) that every time I go back to the site, I see at least one car making the left turn, and even the google map pic showing a car was making a ...

The case you're referring that gained media attention was commonly titled everywhere as "Is a three-point turn a U-turn?".

It's where a Brampton man driving north, turned left into a driveway, reversed his car and proceeded south.

He was found guilty.

Section 143 of the Highway Traffic Act refers to a U-turn as a turn "so as to proceed in the ...

It's an electronically printed ticket.

The printed name is the signature.

You aren't eligible for an Alberta license.

Alberta and Ontario are apart of the Canadian Driver Licence Compact which allows provinces to easily share license information.

The Alberta Traffic Safety Act says you are not eligible to apply for a license if you are currently suspended in another province.

Notes are just notes. If you have an issue with something in them, you'll have to make that argument during trial. Otherwise, the ticket wont just disappear.

Keep in mind it might not mean what you think it means. It could be the officer was keeping a record of the vehicle stopped, who it's registered to, etc.

Even if it what you think it is, it ...

Is the sisters name on the ticket or just the disclosure portion?

It takes two photos.

These tickets are not the end of the world. You can try to have the fine reduced and then you can move on. They are similar to parking tickets.

What were you initially charged with? Turn not in safety?
