First Attendance: Usually this will be offered to you depending on where you live. You can negotiate with the Prosecutor to plead guilty to a lesser offence, which means a lower fine and probably no demerit points. Some Prosecutors just want to get any guilty plea if possible, so they'll take a municipal infraction; others play hardball. One possible plea is "fail to proceed as directed." I might be wrong but I believe it a $60 fine and no demerit points. That's probably your best option, but discuss it with the Prosecutor. First Attendance meetings can occur months after the ticket...

It seems the court offer an early resolution for any traffic ticket. It is called a First Attendance Hearing which can be done only within the 15-30 days. Extract from the definition: ************ "To exercise this choice, you must attend the court office designated on the back of your Offence Notice to set and appointment to meet the prosecutor. A First Attendance Hearing Notice will be mailed to you. This is an informal meeting to try to resolve your charge or charges without going to trail . The investigating officer does not attend the meeting. It is your responsibility to advise the ...

Does any one know how to fight on a technicality basis?

Any advice?

Or just pay the set fines instead of going thru the hassles in court which I don't have a chance to win.

Additional info

There are no signs posted (Describing each lane functionailty) above near the traffic light is or on the side road.
The only sign is on the road itself, only an arrow pointing forward.

May be I should take pictures of the missing signs.

Do I have a case here too?

Improper Right Turn - Do I have a strong case?

Do I have a strong case against the officer? Well, I got a ticket for making an improper right turn. Was in a 3 lanes street, left lane to make a left turn, center lane to go straight, and right lane to make a right turn. I was in the center lane and did make right turn, that's why I got a ticket. I will try to go to the court to appeal. Here is my argument to dismiss the ticket upon fairness and justice. My argument is the officer was busy to collect my info and filled in the ticket, he allowed 5 more cars to go while they did make the same offence. I was looking at the rear mirror while the ...
