Re: ticketed for 149km/h on 401 by PEEL POLICE

If you opt for trial, the prosecutor will ask to amend the ticket back up to the origional speed of 154Km/H. If convicted, there will be a higher fine and the prosecutor can seek a licence suspension up to 30 day. The officer could have charged under the stunting section and impounded the car for 7 days as well as a 7 day licence suspension at the ...

Re: Odds of succeeding in 11b motion?

Where was the ticket issued? In Toronto, or around the GTA, it can take well over a year given the high volume of tickets given out and backlog of court matters.
I don't think it will fly anyway, 11.5 months is not horrible, but you are getting close for sure...

Re: ticketed for 149km/h on 401 by PEEL POLICE

All police officers are sworn in, In and For the Province of Ontario...jurisdictional argument will not be valid...a Thunder Bay City officer can write tickets in Metropolitan Toronto Police jurisdiction if they want, no problems...Tickets never say anything about points. The MTO deals with the points, not the police...Do you know if the officer ...

Re: Speeding 49km/h over

1-if the prosecutor won't reduce the charge you can either pay it as it is or go to trial, at which time they will likely ask to amend the ticket back up to the origional speed
2-the JP will not reduce a charge, if the prosecutor does not stand up and state that you have reached a resolution for their consideration, the JP will only ask you how you ...

Re: Speeding 49km/h over

If you both agree to a deal, you both still have to go before the JP, there is no getting around that. The prosecutor should put forth the resolution for the courts consideration. The court is not bound by any agreement between the parties. There is never a chance of conviction from the prosecutor, only the court can convict you, either after you ...

Re: Speeding 49km/h over

If you go see the prosecutor, that is your time to negotiate a deal. Put your best offer forward and see what the prosecutor says. There is no way this chage is just going to go away or be dropped down to no points...Sometimes the prosecutor will just come out and say what they are offering with very little room to negotiate. Due tot he fact the ...

Re: Insecure load - open for discussion

In part: "commercial motor vehicle" means a motor vehicle having permanently attached thereto a truck or delivery body...People often argue that their pick up truck is not "commercial" as they use it for private use only...that belief is wrong...there are different definitions, rules and regulations for commercial motor vehicle depending on their ...

Re: 49 over in a fifty

You are wrong, lidar does not have to be checked against radar. Unless you have documentation to say your speedometer was calibrated at the time of the offence I doubt the court would let you tender evidence after the fact...If you take the stand and say you were speeding, by any amount, you will be convicted. Yes, prosecution witnesses go first ...
