Ontario Highway Traffic Act

It has been shown here that no copy of by-law leads to a dismissed ticket. Don't listen to ottlegal here.

Should you fight the ticket - you should fight EVERY ticket.

The error is unlikely to cause a fatal error though, it can be amended. Read here for a list of fatal errors: http://www.ontariohighwaytrafficact.com ... rror#10923

browsing has made a few good good points, the only thing I would suggest is that you read over www.ticketcombat.com to get a better idea of how to ask for disclosure (and tons more of info). If disclosure is incomplete, you can ask for a second request.

To convict, the LEO needs to have "observed you at a higher rate of speed than posted ...

There is the fine that you have to pay, plus any interest accrued, and then there is a license reinstatement fee of $150.

I believe that there is a 6 months window when a LEO can issue a ticket. After that not going to happen.

Check with the breathalyser test on the bottom of the site. If you were sure about being "fine" than you could have requested the blood test as well.

You can ask the JP directly during court to reschedule (called continuance). As a safe bet, i'd call the court and ask if they received any communications from your lawyer.

Smells like someone is prepping his 11B arguments...

Given the nature of relationship with a paralegal company, you would have to file this in a small claims court.

You can view most of the OHTA here on-site. However, the entire act is available here: http://www.e-laws.gov.on.ca/html/statut ... 0h08_e.htm. I think that you are interested in PART IX: RATE OF SPEED

http://www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/dandv/driver/demerit.shtml

# As a Class G1, G2, M1 or M2 driver, if you get two or more demerit points, you will be sent a warning letter.

# At six points, you may have to go to an interview to discuss your record and give reasons why your licence should not be suspended. If you don't attend, your licence may be ...

Wouldn't they get their own transcript to look at?

You can request an appeal, or you can try to reopen the trial. Not sure how you would get your money from the paralegal company though.

Generally, if there is a white solid line on the right-hand side of the road, that means that you cannot park there. Example: park on a bicycle lane, you get towed as soon as a p/off cyclist calls the vehicle. Same with the 401. Shoulders are for emergencies, always.
