Ontario Highway Traffic Act

A quick google search says that there should be no demerits against your license IF the ticket specifically states you were on your BICYCLE.

You should ask as far in advance of the court date as possible.

My bicycle manoeuvre (red light - fail to stop) presented no risk to property or person as no one was approaching or entering the intersection that I crossed.

Yes this is a problem with our justice system!

Anyways the charge has nothing to do with you turning, just that you did not stop at the red light.

I would plead Not Guilty and request a ...

Most likely they wont give you any information about the vehicle. You can ask, and you should say why you think it is relevant and then when they don't give it to you, it gives you one more reason to win on an appeal.

Here are my cases:

Driving Handheld Communications Device - lost trial and lost appeal (first time ever in court, good learning experience).

Speeding - lost trial but WIN on appeal: http://www.ontariohighwaytrafficact.com/topic7286.html

1. Honking has nothing to do with yielding. You can honk at them all you want.

2. I still think you have strong defense as even the officer says you turned behind the pedestrian. So if you end up at cross-examination stage, you will want to ask the officer on this point with questions like "So did I turn in front of the pedestrian before they ...

What is a "Federal Roadway"? Where is this defined?

The Ontario Highway Traffic Act says that to be found guilty of speeding, one of the things that must be proven is that you were on a "highway".

In the HTA, Highway is defined as:
- includes a common and public highway, street, avenue, parkway, driveway, square, place, bridge, viaduct or ...

Well it is a probation order that relates to your current license in this province.

So lets say you go to another province or the USA ...

Now they may not know about this order, however if you get a ticket in this other jusridiction and the information about you getting the ticket comes back to Ontario then they will say "if you got a ticket in ...

The police have 6 months to issue the ticket, so it could take up to that long to occur.

As the OWNER they can just mail it to you.

Some prosecutors are great and will always do the right thing. Other prosecutors will do just about anything to get the conviction.

So yes the prosecutor SHOULD agree to have the charge withdrawn when you show them the error, but they might not. And if you tell the prosecuto about the problem up front, they could also withdraw the charge but then ...

When you are charged and convicted as the DRIVER of a vehicle, then there is a fine, possible demerit points and usually an insurance increase.

When you are charged and convicted as the OWNER of a vehicle, there is a fine only and no demerts and no insurance increase.

How do you get charged as the driver? Either you gave your information to the ...

You're essentially saying if I respond to this ticket, my right to appeal the outcome due to a fatal error is no longer possible as the JP will amend the ticket with the correct fine information (why would the JP choose not to amend the ticket unless he/she is feeling extra nice).

There is a provision in one of the Acts (Courts of Justice or ...

Remember who the clerk works for (not you)!

If you respond with option 2 (early resolution) or option 3 trial, the prosecutor does not have to drop the charge and then you end up at a trial and then they can amend the ticket and add the set fine and total payable back in.
