Re: What to do after you pay a ticket you shouldn't have paid...

You might be able to appeal. When did you pay your tickets? I'm not sure what the timeline for appeal is though.

Re: Government proposes random breathalyzer tests

You would think there would be a system in place where government would have the supreme court review and approve laws prior to enacting them. This would save taxpayers millions of dollars, since so many laws are challenged. If we plug the holes before laws are enacted, they could not be winnable on appeal, saving us money.

The problem is that ...

Re: Proceeded on red light HTA(18)

Police are allowed to issue tickets on private property, otherwise all you would have to do in order to avoid a ticket is drive into anybody's driveway and you're home free.

Then they'd nab you when you tried to leave the driveway...

I really hope it is $500, .

yes and no, the fail to move left is $490 and about 90% go to trial. I do not know if it is b/c the fine is so high or the 3 points? I rarely have a seatbelt at $110 2 points go to trial.

Re: HTA 144 (9) - Time issue

Actually, 10 months should be able to qualify you for the 11B without even referring to the disclosure. However, not having a disclosure lets you argue for stay based on "non-disclosure". The prosecutor will try to reschedule the date, and then you can double-wham him with the 11B, AND the fact that you have to come back to court, which costs you ...

Hi racer,

Thanks for your reply.

Cop didn't pull me over. I was looking for a place to pull over so I turned right onto that street with the 4-way flashers on, then he directed me to stop when he saw me.

Well, you don't have a ticket, you got Summons to go to court. Not sure how to force a fatal error on those. Not showing up for court can mean jail time, so you gotta be careful. How much time before the court date do you have? If it is more than 6 months, then you have more options, for example, the cop may not issue you another ticket or correct ...

Police like to slap people with careless, especially in accidents. From what I gather, you were travelling at around the speed limit when you saw the other vehicle make a left turn. Then you tried to go around that vehicle and went around him by veering left. There is nothing careless about that, you actually tried to avoid a collision . Send the ...

Re: Proceeded on red light 144 (18)

There is always a chance. Sometimes it is better to hire professional representation, thus increasing your chances of either getting rid of the ticket completely, or negotiating to a smaller offense that will not increase your insurance premiums.

Re: 75km in a 50km zone (changed to 65km in a 50km zone)

The very 1-st thing to do in any case is to plead "not guilty". Once you do that, then you can file for disclosure. Once you see the disclosure, you can see what evidence they have against you.

If you decide to change your mind and plead guilty, you can always do that later.

Re: Passing Stopped Cars at a Crossover

11b is a stay application (stay means the proceeding are halted and no charges laid/convictions entered) due to unreasonable delay. In short, if your trial is over 1 year after the date of the offence, or you have been to court twice already with no conviction, you can file an 11b stay application to halt the proceedings.
