Yesterday I was driving on a two lane road, with one lane used partly as parking. I was stuck in the parking lane, and I couldn't leave as there was busy traffic all on my left. The roads were slick and icy (-15C weather), and I was gaining on a parked car in front of me. I knew that I had to get…
I received a speeding ticket this past weekend, and although the officer was nice and gave my 6yo a coupon for a free slushy, I want to fight the ticket.
The officer wrote the offence as "95km/h in a posted E0 km/h zone" the "E" being what looks like a written backwards 3. Now I know and you can…
Some very recent case law regarding cell phones.
The short synopsis is that briefly holding your cell phone is lawful. The accused in this matter was observed with her phone in her hand at a red light. She claimed to have simply just picked it up off the floor.
From the decision:
Given the…
There are always those tickets you get when you know you were doing something wrong, and yet your still mad you know you got caught. Well in this case getting this ticket almost made me sick to my stomach. I'm currently going back to school and am working a part time pizza delivery job to help…

Last week I went to my friend's house at 9.30 pm to drop off something and parked the car for 15 min. curbside and got a ticket for "parked facing the wrong way". This is a two way street in east-west direction in a residential area. The houses are on the south side of the street and parking is…
So I'm 19 no prior tickets and no tickets now.
Heading back from the airport at 5am after dropping a friend off.
the road I'm heading down has little to no light. I'm literally in the middle of the boonies. I notice a vehicle approaching me from behind. At this point I'm doing about 90 kph in a 80.

It happened last December. I was facing north in the middle of the intersection at Donmills and McNicoll waiting to make a left turn. There was a big white van on the other side of McNicoll facing south waiting to turn left too. When the light changed to amber, I checked and the road was clear,…
Disobey Sign 182 (2)
I got a ticket for supposedly disobeying a no right turn on red sign. The sign is posted at the south side of a huge intersection at Hwy 427 off ramp and the Queensway.
I went to court today and got disclosure from the officer. Two points to note: His documentation states that the vehicle making the turn was green. (Mine is black). He drew the vehicle making the turn from the curb lane. (I was never in the curb lane.) Are these two points sufficient to get the charge dropped/revoked?

Unfortunately, no, unless he lost sight of the vehicle that made the turn. In that case, you'd have to go to trial... even then it would be tough. There's a very small chance that the officer could have shaky testimony but don't bet on it.
For an offence like this, you might be able to get it reduced to something like Fail to Proceed as Directed, or maybe even a by-law offence if the Prosecutor is willing...
How long ago did the offence happen?
