The sign is there and it's on the post and on right side of the road.
I think it's black english letter on white background, that's why i was thinkink of bilingual defence. Are you absolutely sure there's a sign? I don't remember the right turn prohibition. I do remember joining a very long left turn line and debating turning right and doing a u ...

Just a side note related but not to this particular situation.

If stopped at a red light, and then a green arrow appears to turn left....no motor vehicle can make a turn to the right while the red is showing.
Just and FYI I don't think I would interpret it that way. Did you experience a ruling recently??
Green arrow

Some suggestions:

Forget the AM/PM thing. It will corrected at trial.

If your trial is in May you won't have enough time to re-request disclosure. So concentrate on filing an application for a ...

When I was in Manhatten I was amazed, everybody slows down or practically stops at green lights. I guess they're too scared to hit wayward pedestrians and deal with the lawsuit that follows.

Hey Reflections, what's going to stop the dumb dumb from dialing your number and getting you back for the gut punch? After all the ones who deserve it are the ...

This is conjecture on my part but likely your licence was suspended and you got a notice in the mail from MTO. They would have sent it to the address on your driver's licence. The letter was likely returned and they could not find you. The officer DID find you and handed you the notice. You were actually lucky because if you were driving and they ...

I remember a 20/20 show years ago that showed how F-15 fighter pilots were trained and how dangerous it could be. Sometimes they would pass out from the G-force. One interesting thing was the low altitude warning was a woman's voice. An Air Force study found that fighter pilots responded better to a woman's voice than a man's.

I think he was a DIYer who couldn't find the gangplank.

If I am convicted and therefore I have to pay the fine, which value it would be: The correct value, which implies that the JP has amended the set fine value or the wrong set fine that is in the ticket? If I will not appear to the trial then the JP could not amend the ticket. Could he?

How should I write the appeal? Would it be my claim that the ...

Anyways our low speed limit is making lane discipline hell.

Lane discipline has little to do with our speed limit - it's the lack of laws and lack of enforcement, along with a general selfish driving attitude from major urban areas like Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, etc., that is spreading like a cancer. When I first learned to drive ...

If the ticket is quashed you will never here about it again. If the JP is not on the ball and convicts you, you will get a notice of conviction in the mail demanding you pay the fine. You have 15 days from that point to file an appeal. (you will also have to pay the fine or apply to the court to suspend the fine pending appeal.)

An appeal form is ...

Influx from GTA drivers moving there

GTA drivers don't move to Saskatchewan. They just visit for many years!

I'm assuming you got the summons as a company director and the company was charged?

You are going to have to show a lot of diligence on this one. How did the driver get the keys and make it out of the yard? Or put another way, what steps did the company take to make sure an unplated truck could not be driven?

This can't be an "oops" where you ...

There's a seatbelt safety blitz going on right now. Taxi drivers are exempt but not their passengers. There is an exemption for medical reasons under s. 106(6). It's probably your best bet to explore this.

A passenger not wearing a seatbelt does not affect your driving record and their are no demerit points.

I have detailed explanations on my ...

As well I am guessing from your website that the 401 would have some by-law to make it so it can go 100km/h and not 80km/h... since I was caught in a posted 100km/h zone, would they have to show that it was a 100km/h zone? As well as show me the by-law if I request full disclosure?

No by-law required. It should be covered under Reg 619 . If you ...

Not weird. Some prosecutors and even some JPs help people by pointing out that there are truly good lawyers and paralegals that the court is very familiar with.

You got some great free advice from the lawyer. Consider following it.

Don't show up at trial. Under s. 9.1 of the POA the ticket cannot be amended if you don't show up. The incorrect ...

There's more to this. Are you saying you have both an Ontario and Quebec licence? What licence # did he copy from your ownership?

Bear, what happens to all those seized detectors?

While this thread has gone on to other topics, I'll post on the original issue of your ticket.

1. You were speeding.

2. Read #1 again. It is an absolute liability charge at the moment and no excuse or explanation including "hey, everybody's doing it", or an analysis of variable rates of velocity, or distance between chevrons, or what lane you ...

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?

You do not have a strong case at all. However here are a couple of points to ...

HTA - Duty of person in charge of vehicle in case of accident

200. (1) Where an accident occurs on a highway, every person in charge of a vehicle or street car that is directly or indirectly involved in the accident shall,

(a) remain at or immediately return to the scene of the accident;

(b) render all possible assistance; and

(c) upon request ...

"Gentle flow of traffic"??!?? In the GTA it starts out with "every man for himself" until they see the cruiser, then it's "Oh please let it be the other guy!"

But I do like your imagery. Next time I go to my "happy place" I'll picture the gentle flow of traffic, like a babbling brook in a pristine amazon forest. The sound of blue and orange macaws ...

If you are fighting your ticket, you can request all this information through disclosure (and avoid the fee!)

Or you can contact your insurance company, if you went through them, to see what information they have.

In R. v. Brown the court stated:
the applicant submitted that where speeding is the only allegation within a charge of stunt driving, there is no conceivable due diligence defence available. With respect, this Court declines to speculate on possible defences. In my view, it is this Courts responsibility to simply acknowledge that a due diligence ...

Just surfing Canlii and came across two recent decisions.
R. v. Brown, 2009 ONCJ 6
R. v. Sgotto, 2009 ONCJ 48

Some people had argued that s.172 violated the Charter because it was an absolute liability charge with the possibility of imprisonment contrary to the Supreme Court's interpretation in R. v. Sault Ste Marie and B.C. Motor Vehicle Act ...

Squishy i am going to have to agree with you on that.

As far as gas prices go even if the highways didn't have a limit like the autobahn system there is no way i would max it out all the time.

The gas begins to cost way to much at speeds like that. Even if we had no speed limits many would not "max out" due to gas prices and costs.

I remember ...

I.E. AIG made some bad investments and needs a bail-out.


AIG did more than that. They were underwriting a lot of the subprime mortgages and other high-risk things that the Wall Street "experts" were hyping as good ways to make money. They weren't strictly an insurance company, in that they had several divisions in addition to their insurance ...

Or a stretch limo or a school bus.

Just a couple of points I want to clarify. First there is no 3 second rule, that was something your driving instructor used to convince you to come to a complete stop.

Second, there are two elements to stopping. First come to a complete stop and second, proceed with caution. Just because you stopped does not give you right of way.

And finally ...

Just saw Squishy's post and he's probably right about the no by-law required. I'm terrible at estimating distance from memory. I thought it was long enough but likely less than 150m.

Change of strategy. First, the section we are referring to is here .

I still think fighting should at least produce a reduction in the ticket. Also, likely no one ...
