Thank you for your reply. Yes, I pled guilty to another charge. Makes sense - I will reference the original ticket number. Wanted to check, as I've never previously paid a ticket.

Thanks,

Hello,

I was convicted today (not of disobey sign), but of a lesser charge of $60 and no demerit points (my initial charge was disobey sign).

My question is regarding payment. Do I use (reference) the original ticket when paying the $60 fine?? The court did not issue a new ticket or specify the new charge. They gave me a green sheet of paper that explains the breakdown of the "surgarges" and how to pay and said it's now $60.

Please let me know if I have posted in the wrong section since this is regarding payment...

Thanks

If I go on one of those dates and don't like the offer, can I refuse it? Do I then have the option of going to another early attendance date or would I need to go to court at that point?

Probably a simple question, but what is "first attendance"? Is that the actual trial date, or should I set up a meeting with the prosecutor ahead of time?

Thanks

It's one option" Can you help clarify what will or will not appear on a driving record? - Does the charge need to be reduced to a "municiple by-law infraction"? - Does the municiple by-law infraction need to be a NON-moving violation? - Does it matter if there are demerit points or not? I'm only asking because I am in a similar situation and would like to know what to plea-bargain for - i.e., ...

Got my first ticket last Thursday and I have a couple of questions. I was driving westbound on Moore St. (west of Bayview) and made a left onto a residential street at a 4-way stop sign. It was my first time driving through that area - was driving my girlfriend to a wisdom tooth surgery. The police were set up to catch people, as that intersection had a no left turn sign from 7-9 am (buses excepted)...that I just did not see. Was charged with: 182 (2) - Disobey Sign. Questions: 1. What's the difference between 182 (2) and 144 (9)? To me, 144 (9) would seem a more appropriate charge... 2. I am ...
