Re: 101 in a 60

I marked the same thing when I applied for a First Attendance meeting, I believe when the Prosecutor schedules the trial it's automatically changed; you can probably visit the ticket office and see what the new status is

Re: TICKET WHILE IN THE DRIVE THRU

tickets (P.O.N.) can be issued anywhere, he can follow you to your house (private property) and hand you the ticket/summons upto six-months from Tuesday for contravening s78.1

but the actual offense of holding the hand-held device, has to be on a public road not in a McDonalds Drive Thru

unfortunately you don't necessarily have to use your phone ...

Re: Option 2 Early Resolution - good idea?

if there is no reasonable prospect for conviction they will withdraw the charge

this includes lack of evidence, or the officer erred big time with procedures

Re: Car accident, trying to obtain the police report

from what you have described it appears aslong as the police report and all the witness statements say that vehicles A & B were fully stopped and not in motion then vehicle B would not be at fault

just give your accident report # to your insurance company and let them deal with it

Re: Driving protocol

i only wish there were more initiatives on proper lane change enforcement, especially at transfers I would rather see the move/merge over 2km before and see them "fidgetting waiting" than the 200m and less lane cutters from left to right across 3 lanes and just going across the "bullnose" area of the ramp! In most places, the people who dive off a ...

Re: 131 km/h in 100 km/h on QEW

they don't need to show you their reading at roadside; your GPS data can't be used in court

you will have to request disclosure to discover what type of speed measuring device they used and a copy of it's manual, to understand how it was operated

you don't need paralegal services to fight this minor ticket, use the guides at the site

Re: HTA 144(9) King & Atlantic

missing section number is indeed a fatal error: http://www.ontariohighwaytrafficact.com/topic1965.html

your best course of action is NOT to attend trial, in your absence the JP SHOULD see the missing section number and quash it

however if the JP doesn't see the missing section number, you'll have excellent grounds to appeal and re-open the case ...

Fatal Error: only first initial of given name?

A family friend received a reduced speeding ticket for +15 on the QEW and on the Offense Notice my friend's given name was written as an initial; his family name however was written in full

Smith
Family/Nom de famile

J.
Given/Pr©nom

because the Given Name wasn't written completely would this constitute a Fatal Error?
