Re: Ticket with placeholders instead of actual speed

I know eh? I wonder how many bad tickets were handed out that day before they noticed.

I found: http://www.ticketcombat.com/offences/fatal.php and http://www.ticketcombat.com/offences/fines.php#forceerror

So, don't contest the ticket, do nothing, the justice will eventually examine the ticket and should throw it out at that point (based on London ...

Ticket with placeholders instead of actual speed

Posting this on behalf of a friend of mine. He was told verbally by the police person that he was being ticketed for driving 84 in a 60 zone. However the ticket that he was given does not contain the speeds. Instead it reads:

Re: Pedestrian Fail to use Crosswalk aka jaywalking

I forgot to come back and report on what happened with my ticket.

tl;dr I went to court and won.

Longer version. This was a number of months ago so I don't remember in perfect detail. I went to the court in Kitchener for the appointed time and there were a large number of people (maybe 50) all with appointments with the prosecutors at the same ...

Thanks for the link!

Not sure where you were stopped on King, but the intersection of University and King has the most pedestrian accidents in the Region, so probably lots of enforcement in the vicinity.
My office is by King & Erb. I crossed King about halfway ...

Re: Pedestrian Fail to use Crosswalk aka jaywalking

Apparently there was a fatal accident involving a pedestrian on a nearby street about a year ago.

Another possible explanation is that there is a police station around the corner, and they had nothing better to do.

Re: Pedestrian Fail to use Crosswalk aka jaywalking

It really irritates me that away from an intersection I'm not allowed to cross -- plus -- how many people get a jaywalking ticket? It's crazy!

Anyway, I previously heard of this idea that "mid-block" crossing might allow me to contest.

This article from my home-town of Hamilton describes an interview with a Police Constable there, which leads me ...
