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
