Ontario Highway Traffic Act

Ticket was issued Dec 2009 and you already have a date in court this June?

Wow that's fast.

My ticket was issued November and I still haven't heard anything. But that's North York.

I saw a funeral escort going through one of those, the thing flashed 10 times.

Hi,

Do they get ticketed? The city must get rich during such escorts.

Whatever the issue is, the very first step is to chose the "Option (3) Plead Not Guilty option".

Thanks guys.

If the interpreter doesn't show up, I win the case.

So I can wait until very last moment to plead not guilty to the judge, right?

There's one last question:

I checked the option "Request Interpreter". I am following TicketCombat's advice.

I do speak English, however, I am a lot more fluent in the language I chose in option 3.

I'm concerned that this may backfire on me.

Should I simply forget English on the trial date and plead guilty?
The cop may say that I spoke English ...

Will I receive a date for first attendance prior to the trial date?

There is no mention of First Attendance date in the ticket when I chose Option 3.

Thanks.

Can JP accept a plea bargain on the first attendance date or is it only the prosecutor right before the trial date?

Thanks guys.

Thanks guys.

If the cop shows up and sees that I'm pleading guilty in an attempt to lower the fine and the charge, could he try to influence the prosecutor otherwise?

In fact, could prosecutor increase charge and fine because of such notes?

For example, the copy may have written in notes that I was following too closely another car before not obeying stop sign.

Am I at risk at getting a second conviction if prosecutors sees this?

Anyone?

Depends on the Prosecutor.

Can't the Prosecutor get offended if I ask him to change to conviction from "Failed to Stop Sign" to "Improper Muffler"?

If the cop is present, can he object to this?

Will the Improper Muffler conviction affect insurance?

Thanks.

Thanks Reflections.

What if the trial date is a few days after I receive the notification by mail?

The disclosure request can take up to 8 weeks, right?

Cheers.

So I got one two weeks ago on a nice Friday 13th... :roll:

Last week I went to the Offences Office and submitted Option 3 (plead not guilty). Trial date to be sent in approximately 6 months.

My intention is to delay as much as I can.

When should I request the disclosure?

According to Ticket Combat, it should be done right away.

I called the ...
