London (City) v. Young, 2008 ONCA 429 (CanLII) http://canlii.ca/t/1x2n3

Your best option would be to get it fixed and choose 'Early Resolution' meeting. It's not a trial, you're just in a room with the prosecutor and you can show him that you fixed the issue, and your charge may be dropped.

They've been using the green tickets since Mar 2012, and the address to the court house should be on the back of the ticket. If ...

+43kph = 4 demerit points
+29kph = 3 demerit points

The fine for +29kph looks correct (set fine = 29x3.75 = 108.75) + (victim surcharge = 25) + (court fee = 5) = 138.75

File it for trial, request disclosure and go from there.

regardless of whether what you did was "Right" or "Wrong", it is still in your best interest to go through the entire process

choose 'Trial' rather than 'Early Resolution'; with trial you atleast have a chance that the officer may not show

request disclosure: ask for the officer's notes and the operating manual for his speed measuring device; at ...

I was going either 64 or 67 in a 60, but the 60 suddenly became a 40 school zone. There was no warning that the 40 was ahead, and I noticed the sign I did go past is in some trees, which I might be able to argue makes it difficult to see, although it also had a flashing yellow light on the top of the sign. It was my first time on this street ...

out of curiosity, were you charged near 410?

Option 2 - Early Resolution

You will be looking at a fine & demerit point reduction especially because it's your first offence.

Option 3 - Trial

You can set a trial date, request disclosure, review the officer's notes & speed measuring manual; this is a better option imo, because you have the benefit of the "officer no-show" & "officer no-notes ...

Thanks for replying. I saw a thread by z24guy where he made a request in his disclosure for:
- Calibration Certificate for the Radar
- Calibration Certificate for any calibration equipment (may sound stupid, but in a proper calibration, you should be able to trace the equipment back to the standard)
- Certificate of Conformance (a written record ...

50% off would most likely be the prosecution's plea-deal; you could maybe get it even lower if you show financial hardship to the Justice of Peace (ie: unemployed, kids, homeless, welfare)

I might be wrong, but i believe these signs are posted when you enter the Town of Richmond Hill from other jurisdictions. They have signs that read "unposted roads have speed limits of 50kph & no parking between the hours of x and y, unless otherwise noted"; example: http://goo.gl/maps/XwBju

Paying the ticket to get the clock started might be a strategic decision in your specific case. However, it's always in your best interest at the very least to see the officer's notes and go through the process.

You should request for disclosure (officer's notes) and schedule a trial/early-resolution meeting.

Disobeying the sign under S.182 of the HTA carries two demerit points: http://www.e-laws.gov.on.ca/html/regs/english/elaws_regs_940339_e.htm

Look up the by-law that enforces the sign, and you might be able to get the charge reduced to a municipal ...

by-law tickets don't appear on your driving record and won't affect your insurance premiums

there are some by-law tickets associated with prohibited turns that involve 2 demerit points, but those won't affect your insurance unless you've collected enough points to get your license suspended

I've been a situation where I witnessed a car back into another car (destroying the front-end) on a residential street in Peel. The other driver floored it out of there.

I contacted non-emerg, the operator told me told me the car belonged to a house on the street and to ring them, i rang the bell to no avail. The operator also tried calling them ...

I would file it for trial with your intention to appear and fight the charges; when you receive your notice of trial, request for disclosure.

I wouldn't be too worried about upgraded charges because you chose to fight it; if it was S. 149 then the crown will most likely withdraw the charge based on both parties accounts (you + witness)

i think ...

they have 6 months from the alleged offense date to charge you with careless driving by ways of a Part 3 summons; did the officer witness you driving passed the centre line? if not, the other driver will have to appear as a witness and testify at trial

were you charged under S. 149 of the HTA? If i'm reading that section correctly, the only ...

i think it's great that you're changing your driving habits to drive at the limit, and you should continue to do so

1.) On the scene, the officer said he got me at 137km/h, but said he "gave me a break" and "only put 130 on the ticket" ... If the case was brought to court, would the court HAVE to amend the charge up to the highest speed recorded ...

If the improper brakes are under S. 64 of the HTA, then both tickets don't carry demerit points. Option 2: the crown will most likely drop one of the tickets and have the other ticket's fine reduced. You may have to show that you fixed the brake system through a work-order or some pictures.

If you choose to plead guilty to both or one of the ...

just an update on what took place today at trial

so the prosecutor advises me that the delay is actually 5 months and 17 days; she said she was going introduce case-law during the motion; i asked her if i could have the by-law for the speed limit sign, i even produced the by-law information i got from the city; prosecutor says no, it's not fair ...

I want to get some help with a speeding ticket i'm fighting.

On Jun 23, 2012 I was charged with speeding 106 in an 80 zone. I filed my ticket for trial on Jun 27, 2012. Late July i received my 'notice of trial' indicating a trial date for Jan 8, 2013. On August 1, 2012 I requested for disclosure asking for:

*officer's notes, if short-form writing ...

You can fight the ticket, this is an usual case where I believe both officers have to appear in court. You can start the process by filing the ticket for trial and requesting disclosure once you receive your notice of trial.

HTA S.128 is quite clear: you can not travel even 1kph over the posted limit, even to overtake other vehicles.
HTA S.150 - allows for vehicles to overtake on the right
HTA S.147 - slower vehicles should travel on the furthest right lane

even though pacing appears to be inferred; in the disclosure you received, does it say what your speed was and ...

You have an opportunity to go the 11b route; it appears it has been 12 months since your offense.

bend has already noted, you will have to convince the JP you did not receive your notice of trial by mail; you exercised due diligence by calling the courts and learning of the date and immediately requested for disclosure

you received it at trial ...

Even if his radar evidence were to get dismissed, the officer could testify that you admitted to speeding 50 in a 40; the courts are only concerned with whether you were traveling faster than the posted limit even by +1kph... how much faster is simply a matter of fines/demerit-points
