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 ...

In Quebec, they'll suspend your license for unpaid fines whether it's a speeding ticket or a parking ticket. Registered owner takes all responsibility for his/her vehicle.

If you ignore the fine the first time around, they'll send you a notice again with an increased fine. They might do this again before the ticket goes into collections. SAAQ ...

@bend - the JP has agreed, on record, with me being entitled to a typed version and an explanation of the shorthand.

The reason I bring it up is because usually they'll just have the officer pull you aside go through it with you right then and there. It's a lot easier than the alternative for both parties. I'm not sure why it wasn't offered. If ...

You received disclosure weeks before your first court date. Did the fact that the notes aren't legible ever come up while the officer was there in the same courtroom as you?

is common that they reduce it to over 49 and just give me a speeding ticket instead of a stunt driving one

You're a G2 driver going nearly double the limit in an 80km zone. You don't have a full license. You're a novice driver under what would be considered driving probation.

It's possible they may give you a reduced charge, but I wouldn't ...

If your sister ditches you on her insurance, your possible conviction won't matter to her. The conviction follows you, not the car.

She'll be asked to fill out an exclusion form (if you live in the same house) saying you won't drive the car

he gave me no chance to find the other one. I don't know if this makes a difference?

It's not a defense. He gave you an opportunity to surrender your insurance card. The act requires the operator to surrender it upon demand, not surrender it upon your own convenience. The officer asked you for your insurance. Upon demand, you handed him an ...

The officer was correct. You didn't provide a valid insurance card. You are required to provide a card upon demand. You provided an expired card. They are not required to wait while you search through your car a second time around. Obviously, there's going to be an allowance for you to initially locate your paperwork within reason.

You can try ...

1. If this fine is not paid by the due date to the Province of Alberta, what are the consequences for myself as an Ontario resident?

From a driving stand point, it's possible you would be considered suspended in Alberta. If you're caught driving there, you'd be driving with a suspended license.

- I am aware of the reciprocal agreement between ...

I just paid my Red light camera ticket ya 325$ , in my opinion i don't think they cares who own the car or who was driving the car, it's your job to keep your car or licence plate, what you can do now is go to that Mechanic Shop and ask who drove his car and ran red light camera, but if you wanna go to court instead i think you need a lot of ...

You should make sure you haven't already been convicted before you worry about anything else.

Call the court house and find out your status.

You do not want to be sitting on a conviction with an unpaid fine.

I was reading some of your posts Jsherk regarding requesting disclosure of radar/lidar manual. I've learned a ton and I'm wondering if it's a useful strategy to go into the meeting with the prosecutor and perhaps show him that I'm well informed, will not accept a plea, and prepared to battle it out in trial - and that I'll be requesting a ton of ...

The poster didn't receive anything. He was simply having an exchange between himself and another individual.

As for the screen, I've never heard of anything regulating screen size. 6-7 inches is pretty much standard on any touch screen double din receiver. In fact, you'll start seeing screens getting bigger and bigger as manufacturers look to ...

Don't take this the wrong way, but I don't know you or your intentions. When someone says they don't want to screw themselves over before they decide to give their statement to a reporting centre, it's a big red flag.

You're at fault. I'm not sure how you claim you're not at fault. You changed lanes when it was occupied by another vehicle.

Novice sanctions are something that are done by the ministry upon conviction. That's between you and the Ministry. Unless they offer a lower charge at the courthouse, you're out of luck. Unfortunately, handheld device is one of those charges they can't really change.

Worst case, find other alternatives for transportation.

I really don't feel I was at fault although before I report I want to ensure I don't screw myself and end up with some crazy ticket or a bunch of demerit points.


I'm not sure how you plan on changing anything so you don't "screw yourself over". The accident happened however it happened. I'd suggest you probably don't try to avoid the officers ...
