Re: "Disobey sign"...what sign? (Hwy 401 & Nelson)

You can post pictures online using photobucket (google that). It will even give you a proper BBcode to insert the picture properly.

You can definitely fight this ticket. Send the ticket in with Option 3 checked off, as well as "Officer present". After you receive a trial date (or before that), file for disclosure.

No, do not use inexperience. Inexperience + bad driving condition = Careless in eyes of JP.

You definitely want to fight this one. Careless for a G2 driver = double insurance (more or less). It is, however, the hardest one for the crown to prove. You might also consider the fact that there were no police at the scene of an accident to see what has ...

Re: 86 in a 60 zone, court on Wednesday, requested disclosure

There is more to that... Did every police officer test the device? Was it the same cop that pulled you over manning the lidar at the time you were clocked? To ask proper questions I have to re-read the original thread. They are all there.

Re: Failing to provide drivers license

I was under the impression that you do not have to pull over right there and then if you cannot identify the police vehicle.

For example: you are driving alone in the middle of the night on an intercounty highway with no lights. Next thing you know a car in front lights up like a cherry XMas tree. No other indication that the car is a police car ...

Yeah, don't call them asking for disclosure. Fax or registered mail only (or dropping it off, but that's not the case).
You want to know what, when, where, and how, and maybe why you were stopped. You already know this, but you need to know what the crown "knows".

Option 3. Request disclosure, see the notes.

This is a hefty charge, your insurance rate will go up. Get in tough with a paralegal, what they charge to beat the ticket completely should be more than worth it compared to insurance increases.

That's pretty bad charge. It is these charges that skyrocket your future insurance rates, having your insurance canceled on the side. Any charge can be beaten. Post more details? Did the insurance company send you a notice that you were canceled?

1. Yes, this offense "awards" you 3 points. The tickets never tell the number of points.

2. You'll likely see it on your bill. Maybe extra $200 per year, for 3 years. However, ***SOME*** companies let the 1-st one like that slip.
