Re: Got wrong offence in notice of fine after pleading in co

And may I add, make sure you take care of this within the 90 days. If you fail to rectify the problem or do not pay within the 90 days, your licence will be suspended.

Re: Got wrong offence in notice of fine after pleading in co

You could go to the court house, speak with the clerk to see if it was some form of a clerical error. I would hope they could take it to a JP to have it properly amended. If not, you will have to appeal.

Re: unpaid fines

I have seen a person charged for drive under suspension for unpaid fines from the 70's...As stated above, they won't ever go away. It is quite common for a person to be suspended in Ontario and use a relatives address in another province to get a new licence thinking they can drive in Ontario, they can't. They will be charged for driving with a ...

Re: Left Turn Fail to Afford.... fatal error?

No it is not...Even if you do nothing with the ticket and it goes to a J.P. for processing, it will still be considered complete and regular on its face even without the section number and a conviction registered.

Re: Radar and GPS

Metro and OPP have them. Not sure where else. I don't see how it is a violation of any rights, you are not being stopped unless there is a possible violation.

Re: No light on bike after dark

You can only play the motion of non suit card after the Crown has tendered all of their witnesses. Once the Crown has concluded their case you can make the motion. I am still having a very hard time with the whole sidewalk not being a part of the highway thing. Even ditches are considered highways if between the property lines, why wouldn't a side ...

Re: 29km/hr over reduced to 10km/hr over

Although you drive a small vehicle, it becomes a stronger reflected signal the closer it gets to the radar unit. Yes, if your little car is beside a pickup truck at 200m, at the same rate of speed, the radar will produce the pickup trucks speed. However, if the truck is at 200 m, and you are at 100m, you now may become the stronger reflected signal ...

Re: truly was not speeding

Well, I can't say I have ever seen that one in court before...If I had to take a semi educated guess, it is not going to happen this time either. The data you seek will be unreliable at best. The vin may give you the make, model and engine size...your weight will not be accurate given after market additions to the cruiser for such equipment as ...

Re: Officer issued wrong ticket to me

You should also think of the other person involved. That person too needs to be aware of the problem so they can properly take care of business. If you hold on to their ticket for the 6 months, they may have been convicted and their licence suspended if not paid with in a certain time frame. You don't know the other person's situation in life ...

Re: Officer issued wrong ticket to me

If someone else got your ticket, and threw it out, or just ignored it, you may find yourself with a conviction against you and your licence suspended for unpaid fines at some point. The big thing here is that you were not personally served the ticket. The officer signs each ticket certifying he has personally served the person named, your ticket ...
