Ontario Highway Traffic Act

You usually don't get typed notes on a first request. It's hard to argue you can't read what you haven't seen.

All parties were in the same room when you received your disclosure package. If you needed clarification, it could and would have been provided right then and there. It doesn't take much to know a set of hand written notes aren't legible ...

As far as the window tint, I might suggest one avenue you may want to explore. In 2017, revised motor vehicle safety requirements will come into effect. Most, if not all, of these changes are far more stringent and one of them is gauging the window tint.

The new requirements to pass a safety have already been implemented for awhile now. It's not ...

I've never heard of anything regarding carrying two insurance cards, as long as you show the correct and valid card.

Perhaps you're thinking of having two different licenses, which you can't do.

Your insurance provider will in most cases charge you the same for anything 49 and under.

You are correct. However, when a bus starts spilling out kids and they end up everywhere, you probably wont have much a choice either way.

A key component of the material of the disclosure is the operation of the unit, also due to the lack of the table of contents I am uncertain whether certain parts of the sections they did give me were missing.

They are not going to copy the whole manual and send it to you. They will send you the few pages dealing with testing procedures and that ...

While the officer may not want to show you the speed listed on his device for safety reasons, it's not the only reason. Another reason is they do not need to prove their case on the side of the road. The road is not a courtroom. If you don't agree with the charge, plead not guilty, make a disclosure request, and get the evidence that way.

I'm not ...

Your charge was reduced to 49km from stunt.

Let's just ignore whatever defense you think you have for now. Personally, i'd pay it and run before anyone notices. That and your charge would be amended to the original speed anyways.

The difference between 49 and 50 is astronomical. It's the difference between, lets say, a 5% surcharge or even a 15 ...

I have not yet received notice of trial in the mail, but checked online and saw that my court date was set on June 20, 2017 (roughly 9 months away). I sent a disclosure request via certified mail but did not include my phone number as suggested by ticketcombat. Also checked on the website of the Toronto / Scarborough courts and there is no mention ...

does anyone have any advice/tips for me?

Pray they offer a plea of 49km at some point. If so, you should probably take it and run.

Assuming that I was going 144 km/h, will it help my case that I was on the "highway" and by myself (not zig zagging through traffic)?

If they'll consider offering you a plea deal, it might help that you weren't ...

Highway closing
(2) For the purposes of subsection (1), a police officer may close a highway or any part thereof to vehicles by posting or causing to be posted signs to that effect, or placing or causing to be placed traffic control devices as prescribed in the regulations. R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, s. 134 (2).


This notion that an officer has to sit ...

It clearly doesn't say that.

Your questions are extremely common around here.

Officers rarely miss a court date. Points are practically useless (unless you get pulled over every other weekend). Insurance companies don't calculate points. The fact it's a U.S. car doesn't make a difference. Unless there is some glaring mistake or some miracle, it's not going to just disappear ...

Thanks everyone. This is my first major ticket. I'm worried about insurance rates and tainting my clean record. My car attracts too much attention. I've been driving for 12 years. Never been pulled over. Ever since I bought this car in Dec 2015 (it is a very bright blue color), I've been pulled over 3 times. One resulting in a warning (15 above ...
