Re: Speeding Ticket (possible fatal error)

"SPEEDING KM/HR IN A KM/HR ZONE" I would have a hard time thinking that this item on the ticket can be considered complete and regular on its face when the numbers are so obviously missing.

If it just said "SPEEDING" then maybe, but how is someone to know if the set fine is correct without the actual number. If the set fine being wrong is fatal ...

Re: how to defend this specific traffic ticket

No one can tell you how to fight a ticket without knowing what evidence is against you in the disclosure. Until you get it do not bother trying to formulate a defense or ask anyone their opinion you'll be wasting you will be wasting your time.

I would reiterate what Stanton said in that at this point you would be well served if you searched the ...

Re: HTA S144(18) vs HTA S144(19) fatal error or not

If you approached a red light, you did not stop COMPLETELY, and there was no green arrow indicating that you should turn left/right then you ran a red light. This makes 144.18 is the correct charge. 144.19 is the exemption allowing you to make a turn at a red light IF you have come to a FULL stop (slowing down doesn't cut it). Going to court with ...

Re: Dedicated right hand turn lane

First you check for pedestrians if clear pass the crosswalk then before merging check for cars, if clear merge if not stop and wait. You would normally stop before the curb line if you had to wait for cars to pass. Stopping too far back may unsafe as you will not be able to see oncoming traffic.

Re: Dedicated right hand turn lane

When you approach the sign you have already turned and are no longer facing a red light so a full stop is not required unless you have to yield. In your diagram specifically you only have to yield if necessary (if there are pedestrians crossing you would yield to them and you would then yield to oncoming traffic before you merge).

Yes you need an interlock device. Whatever conditions on your license are the same wherever you take it.

Re: Need Advice on Ticket

11b may be successful. The tricky part is going to be who to attribute the delay. That would involve pulling transcripts and being prepared to argue that you could not have proceeded to trial without the officer going over the notes in that most people could not decipher what they contain. It could go either way so to put the odds in your favor I ...

Re: Haven't heard from Court

When they told you to call them you should use something called telephone. A telephone is a device that enables one user to input a series of numbers from 0 to 9 by pressing numbered buttons. The number should be printed somewhere on back of the ticket you received. Once you find a phone and figure out how to place the call I would reference the ...

Re: Prosecutor mentality re deals, I don't get it, enlighten

It isn't ethical to allow someone to plead guilty to something you know they didn't do. A lesser charge is based on the same series of events. For example fail to stop goes down to improper stop.

Re: Caught "speeding" 70 in 50 following the flow of traffic

Somewhere in that rant is there a question?

All I can tell you is that there is almost no defense to speeding if you were indeed speeding even 1 kph over the limit.

If you are going to fight it and win you need either a technicality or have to create reasonable doubt at trial. Blinding sun or following the flow of traffic is not going to help ...

Re: Obtaining G licence before prosecution of G2 violation

I believe the evil plan will work in this case. Anything currently before the courts cannot count against you until you are convicted so if you were to pass a full G in the mean time you will have a full G with all of the privileges (up to 15 demerit points) upon your conviction. But don't get too cocky, because with that kind of record I would ...

Re: Speeding Ticket (possible fatal error)

Not going to court means you are deemed not to dispute the charge and if the ticket has no errors you will be convicted.

Once you are granted appeal successfully the conviction is erased.

Yes but not for fatal errors.
