Re: Driving 49cc scooter , no plates , licence , no insuranc

Your charges stem from using your scooter to cut across roads, which you kind of glossed over.

You need at the very least a M-Class license with a limited speed restriction. M with no restrictions would be even better. You need your plate (green limited speed), insurance, helmet, etc.

While harsh, the officer has every right to lay these charges ...

Re: Speeding Ticket for 89 km/h in 60 km/hr zone

The last name appeared on the notice for the trial is incorrect.

Notice of Trial doesn't mean anything. It's just a letter informing you of your court date. It's not your ticket.

Also, I requested a disclosure package and in the package the officer indicated my car colour to be grey, where as my car colour is Golden (Beige).

Re: First speeding ticket and it didn't get reduced


This is debatable. Many insurance companies do only look at the number of infractions, but 15 over is listed as a minor offence and 40 over is a major offence - even though they don't see the points they can still see this and it can definitely affect rates.
That said, any conviction is a conviction. A major usually increases insurance by about ...

There's no law that specifies tint percentages in Ontario. If the officer says it's too dark, it's too dark. Take that into consideration for the future.

If they pay more attention to the video, it is possible to determine that the other vehicle entered the intersection on the yellow light from stopped position. http://i60.tinypic.com/w9hdfa.jpg

No. If someone is traveling straight they aren't obligated to do anything based on their own signals. You have to assume they are going to continue whether there's a signal or not. The onus is on you to make a turn only when it is safe to do so.
