well in the city bylaw, the heavy truck defined "A commercial vehicle having a weight, when unloaded, of three (3) tonnes or more or, when loaded, of five (5) tonnes or more" so if I am loading as long as my truck is no more than 5t I am ok, correct me if I am wrong

My truck's can take up to maximum of 8 ton, but when it is unloaded its around 3.2t

Assuming the officer did not weigh your truck, then you can probably beat the ticket. Basically ask the officer how heavy your truck is (which he wont know), then read the bylaw and then say that the prosecution failed to prove that your truck meets the definition of heavy truck and therefore the charge should be withdrawn. You do not even need to mention that your truck was not heavy yourself because it is the prosecutor and officer that need to prove that it is. Jsherk, should I say that to prosecutor or to the judge when it is in court? From my past experience, when I get to the court pros...

To lolwut,

My truck's RGW is 8000kg, its a Hino 185

Thank you guys for the opinion, I will see how it going on the trial and ask for disclosure if I can get it.

Hi jsherk,

My trial date is next Monday, is it still possible to request disclosure?

So if I loading with items under 5 tonnes My truck will not consider as a Heavy Truck(...

Hi Jsherk,

I put the wrong section number, it is 182(2), I am too late for request disclosure now, when I got the ticket I was thinking of fighting it with the truck weight evidence so I didn't request for disclosure, and my trial is next week....when I go to the court can I ask for officer to provide the evidence that my truck is over 5 tonnes? or ask officer to show proof that I entered No heavy truck road straightly(because I don't see the No heavy truck sign until I made my left turn, I can take picture of it and show it in the court)

Regards,

Hi OHTA forums, I got pulled over for disobey the "No Heavy truck" sign, on the ticket it say Highway traffic act Section 182(2), but I think I didn't disobey the "No Heavy Truck" sign, because my truck was loaded with delivery items(which at the time it was under 5 tonnes), I didn't request for disclosure, the cop that pulled me over didn't even check my truck to see if it is over 5 tonnes. So in this case if I provide the information on how heavy my truck is can I win the case? Also I didn't see the "No heavy truck" Sign until I left turn into the road(I made a ...
