Re: 2 Tickets, 140 in 100 and failure to surrender liscence

I think, as others have said, your best bet is to file for trial and get disclosure. This will push back the date by which you have to pay and will give you a chance to look at the evidence against you. If you can't find any holes in the evidence that would allow you to beat the charge, you can ask for a meeting with the prosecutor and see if you ...

Re: Interfere With Traffic Ticket - Advice Needed

I would file for trial and ask for disclosure to see what evidence the officer has against you before making a decision. If the evidence is weak you can go to trial, if it is strong you can make a plea bargain to a lessor offence.

Re: Received 3 demerit points in Quebec on zero tolerance

If all you need to do is wait until your zero tolerance period is over, then I would book a court date. Quebec courts are often quite slow so there is a good chance you won't get a court date until after your zero tolerance period is over. Once that happens, you can try to plea bargain with the prosecutor to see if you can get a lessor charge that ...

Re: 145kmph in 100kmph zone, is this consider a "fatal" erro

You can still request disclosure, and I would do that ASAP, however it probably won't be ready in time for your court date. Instead you will probably get it at your court date and then you will be granted an adjournment so you can review it. You won't be able to count the time during the adjournment towards an 11B challenge (a motion to have your ...

Re: 106km/h in a 60km/h

If it were me I would pick option 3 and request disclosure. This leaves all your options open and you can read the officer's notes to see if there is anything you can build a defence around. You also may luck out and have the trial scheduled more then 11 months away, at which time you could have the ticket thrown out for unconstitutional delay, or ...

Re: Daugher (17) charged with speeding - 40 km in a 20km zon

I am planning to go with Option 3. I do not understand the 2 check boxes under Option 3. What is the difference between 1. "I intend to appear in court to enter a plea of not guilty at the time and place set for the trial "... and 2. "I intend to challenge the evidence of the Provincial Offences Officer..."
Can someone explain this to me?

Re: will this appear on a police record check..Need to know

You were not charged with anything so this should not cause you any trouble with immagration. Typicaly they are only looking for criminal convictions, pending criminal charges and outstanding warants. If you are worried you can double check Australia's entry rules, but I realy don't think you are going to have a problem.

Re: Failing to move to the right for emergency vehicle

I believe if you are charged as the owner then it is only a fine and no entry on your driving record is made as they can't prove who was actually driving.

Re: What should I do?

I would call the prosecutor's office ASAP and see if this can't sorted out. Let them know that you had a deal worked out but that for some reason you still got a notice of trial, I would think that they would be happy to help you as that would mean one less case they have to deal with on that court date.

Re: Back of Ticket Option

No, it looks like the jurisdiction where your ticket was issued doesn't have the early resolution option on the ticket (not all areas do). What you will have to do is pick option 3 and set a trial date, check both boxes. The prosecutor will most likely talk to you on your court date before your trial starts and offer you a plea bargain, if you like ...

Re: default suspension bogus

Don't pay anything, if you pay the fine that will be taken as an admission of guilt on your part and you won't be able to fight the ticket later. What you should do is go to the court house first thing on Monday and apply to have your case reopened. If your application to reopen is granted your licence will be reinstated. I've attached a link to a ...

Re: Failure to remain...at the parking lot

Unfortunately Toronto's bylaws are still messed up due to amalgamation and are hard to search. If the designation was made after amalgamation then it would be posted online. However if it was made before amalgamation then it would not be online and you would have to go to the reference library and look through the old bylaws from the old City of ...
