Thanks a lot, this is very insightful! So it looks like even with "Early resolution", if I decide not to accept the offer (if any) and try my luck in court to see if, may be, the officer would not be there, I would still be able to plea guilty in court if I see the officer there, before the trial.

The officer may or may not be there either way ...

1) I was told by every agency that the worst case scenario is even if everything else fails, pleading guilty to the existing tickets during trial, so it won't make it worse. However from what I read if you go to trial, the original speed will be reinstated and I might not have a chance to plead guilty to the reduced speed ticket.
So which is it ...

When it states 'highway', does that mean any road way or are they specifically talking about highways. I believe the road I was on was 4 lines wide, 2 each side, and it was not a main road.


"highway" includes a common and public highway, street, avenue, parkway, driveway, square, place, bridge, viaduct or trestle, any part of which is intended ...

I highly doubt you're going to convince anyone in a courtroom that the officer lost track of you while he made a u-turn and that 2 cars made a switcharoo. You are the lone vehicle on a straight road travelling 51km over the limit in a Honda Odyssey minivan. An officer doesn't need to maintain 100% visual. He didn't lose you behind some back alleys ...

They have up to six months to lay a charge. However, if you don't hear anything in the next week or two, you could probably stop worrying.

The government provides school bus drivers with a form they can fill out for illegal passing of a school bus. If there is enough information for a charge, an officer will write up a ticket and deliver it to the residence of the registered owner.

The registered owner of the vehicle, which may or may not be the driver, will receive the ticket. They ...

Not sure the best course of action - do I hire a professional? Do I reschedule?

Anyone you hire isn't going to do anything you haven't already done. There isn't much they can do for you on a 18km speeding ticket. They'll try to get you a 15km conviction, save you a couple demerit points, and call it a day. Probably not worth the money in your ...

Your license number doesn't vanish into thin air. It'll exist whether or not you choose to renew your license or not.

Even if you don't have a license, they will generate a license number for you and it'll be waiting for you if you ever decide to apply.

It wont matter. That's a separate issue between the officer and he property owner.

whaddyaknow wrote: I believe that he was not driving the excluded vehicle, rather a totally uninsured one. But your point about the owner being charged for allowing uninsured use is a good one.

Ah, yes. You are correct. Insurance was cancelled on the second vehicle. Exclusion form was on the fist.

Point still stands though. Thanks for the correction.

How about not lend her vehicle out to someone who signed an exclusion form and is driving without insurance?

Either she let you drive her car or you stole it. Pick one.

Just so you are aware, they might be looking to charge both you and your partner. So you both should be worried.

Particularly, could anyone provide insight as to how I can determine whether or not the cop used a lidar or radar and whether it was tested appropriately.

You'll likely receive the times the device was tested that day during the shift. It'll be in the officers notes and you'll get that through your disclosure request.

Would you guys have any ...

(1810 hrs was written by hand...all other notes were typed.)

That's normal. That would be an excerpt from his notes at the end of his shift.
I honestly do not believe I was travelling at 131 km / hr. Basically, I was travelling about 110-120 on the passing lane...

Speeding is an absolute liability offense. You were either speeding or you ...

This was a popular discussion 10 or so years ago when a gentleman from the TV series Motoring was issued a ticket for this same scenario. The story was featured in practically every newspaper.

The short answer is there is no specific law in the HTA that would prohibit you from warning other drivers from something like a speed trap.

The long ...

This is my understanding of it, but it's possible I may be wrong somewhere.

There's conflicting answers to this question, probably because the tickets aren't dealt with properly.

Bicycles are considered vehicles, so any relevant charges under the HTA would apply.

The problem is bicycle tickets should be labeled as such. From what I understand ...

Officers set up at this location all the time doing speed enforcement. Usually, they're sitting in the same dead end street in the early mornings of a weekend or holiday.

The speed before the 50km zone is 60km. First, there's a sign that says "Speed Radar Enforced" along with a sign warning of the 50km ahead. Then there's the 50km begins sign ...

Doctors are required by the province to report certain conditions (there's a list). They will do this for anyone who is over 16 (anyone eligible for a license). Because you blacked out and alcohol was involved, they have to submit a form to the ministry. That's where the suspension comes in.

This is something that you and your doctor will need to ...

I'd suggest posting the ticket to get a better response.

Oops, I was totally wrong on this one.

Ticket probably should have been written 136 (1)(b) "Fail to yield to traffic on through highway" or just fail to yield.

136 (1)(a) would be "Disobey stop sign, fail to stop".

Agreed. The section provides two elements for stopping at a stop sign. The first one ends in "and", meaning both are required to fulfill your obligation.

It's saying it's not simply enough to just stop and proceed. You must yield to the right of way before continuing.

ticketcombat recommended not include phone number on the disclosure request form. What you think about this?

They need a way to contact you so they can tell you to come pick up your request. If you don't have a number for whatever reason, you have to provide something here like an email address. If you have a number, just put it. You want your ...

You can send whatever you want. There's no standard form. Most municipalities can provide a generic form for you to use. They all look different but they will essentially ask you for the same thing. If you want to make your own form, you can do that too. In most cases, the provided form will do just fine.

I'd suggest you do not use the ...

I'm not sure if you realize what you're even asking here. You are asking advice about lying in court. I can't help you there.

Sounds like handheld.

If paying the original fine would cause you some hardship, it's probably more likely than not.

The demerit points stick. They do not assign points. The conviction is sent to the MTO and they automatically apply the points.

Why did she have to plead prior to the discussion? In every meeting I've had it's been discuss, decide, then plead guilt to amended charge. Never have I been asked to plead up front.

There was no discussion because there was nothing more to discuss.

In regards to the license plate, my car is from 2005. The cover is a transparent cover put on by the dealership. It does not impact the plain visibility of the plate in anyway, it has been on the car since it came from the dealership, and there was never an issue at all. I've been stopped by officers before for RIDE etc and no one mentioned ...

100+ over the limit is no joke. It's the kind of charge that will get you in the news, which apparently it did.

The officer claims to have witnessed the motorcycle at an "extremely high speed" and confirmed it with radar.

It's going to be hard to defend against that. Not just the device reading, but the visual of a vehicle travelling almost ...

You're talking criminal and civil issues here. It's somewhat out of the realm of the forum.

As for the estimate, your thoughts and opinions are pretty common among individuals who foot the bill. That being said, they couldn't be more wrong. You don't have the luxury of picking and choosing where someone gets their vehicle repaired. If they want to ...
