Ontario Highway Traffic Act

I don't think the location on the ticket will matter so much since he saw you driving from Quebec into Ontario, his decision to perform an inspection was based on him observing the car in Quebec (where you were under his jurisdiction).

Officers routinely stop and ticket drivers that have crossed provincial borders for offences that were committed ...

You are going to have to prove that a doctor was able to diagnose you with medical condition that you didn't previously know about and that condition caused you to faint. Knowledge that you could be susceptible to fainting spells for whatever reason and decided to drive anyway will be very damaging your argument as it is not supported by the cases ...

I would choose trial option.

1 & 2) Personally I think you should fight every ticket. Worst case scenario you are convicted which is the same as pleading guilty. Best case scenario you get off for any number of reasons. Either way you will have to invest time and effort that you will never get back. Do some research in the forum to learn a bit.

3) Yes if you roll over and ...

I'm betting on someone had a few too many and decided a fail to remain was better than DUI.
You can report the accident at a collision reporting centre (I believe you have 48 hours). If you both left TTC property there is a good chance they may have been caught on camera at some point before the incident.

As far as what should you have done: I ...

For all intensive purposes the only defense to this charge is to convince the JP that you were in fact wearing your seat belt (everything else is irrelevant).

In my personal experience most officers are pragmatic and will not ticket for less than 15 or under. Then again I've seen tickets 8 over. Almost all tickets that I have come across that are for 15 over were roadside reductions.

It will show what you plead to. They can't find out from an abstract the original charge but keep in mind that conviction for 15 over the limit implies that you were given a break by the officer on the scene or worked out something with the prosecutor. So if they care enough to ask you how fast you were going and you say 15 over I would think you ...

I'm guessing he was pulling over multiple people at the same time?

I would ignore the ticket and appeal any default conviction based on the ticket you were given was not yours. I wouldn't be surprised if you have the officer come serve you with the correct ticket (they have 6 months to do this). If this happens I would still exploit the fact that ...

I have a feeling the officer would be more interested in helping and then ticketing the guy who spun out than you.

Cocky... while you're at it go after them for the towing charges...

It's probably an error of some kind because this is copy/paste from part of one of my posts in another thread.

I would request the trial for this charge.

I have seen the prosecutor offer everyone $175 fine if they agreed to plead guilty and the JP reduce it in the interest of "fairness" to $125 for everyone regardless of circumstance. One person who was elderly was not fined at all.

I have also seen the prosecutor not have the photos with them and ...

This is so minor that I personally would not take a no 0 point deals offered and go straight to trial. If you really didn't do go to court and tell the truth. When you testify tell them you take that way to work every day and that you always go out of your way to take this route because you are aware that it is illegal to make that turn and do not ...

Maybe he already got it and is out belt shopping?

Since it came up, I wonder if the error the officer made could be exploited to creating sufficient reasonable doubt to support the conviction?
