Hi, Hoping some of the experts on the forum or other members with the same issue can help me out. I recently received this ticket in the mail, not surprising since the sky lit up with the camera's flashing when the infraction took place. As another member mentioned in a previous post, I created a Photobucket account and have uploaded my ticket for your review. The conditions were not ideal, and I felt that I could not stop safely before the intersection. I did attempt to break (photo1), but made the decision to safely go through the intersection, knowing the light "just" turned red (000.6 seconds according to the ticket). My question to the experts: how should I plead? I read about how this will not affect my points or insurance, and I also read about "if there are no street signs in the picture then there is lack of evidence", or something to that effect. Oh, and the fine is $325.00. If anyone could provide me with some suggestions or advice, that would be great! Thank you in advance!

I'm not aware of any requirement for street signs to be visible in the photograph. I think as long as there is some type of location code in the photograph itself it's considered sufficient, but someone else may advise otherwise. As for road conditions, you won't be able to use that as a defence since it's an absolute liability offence. Basically the Court is only cares if you stopped or not, not why.

Thank you for the reply. I've decided to plead guilty, hoping to decrease the amount of the fine. From the options listed on the ticket, I'm assuming Option 2 will allow m to speak with a prosecutor before having to appear in from of the JP? Judging from previous experiences, is there any form of evidence required to demonstrate a 'lower income/ supporting a family on one income' (e.g., listing income vs. expenses, bank statement)?

I just received a parking ticket for parking outside of the space, to me that is crazy because I was parked in the corner of the lot, was not blocking anyone or a through way, so I thought there is no harm. I've seen people park there all day and not get a ticket.

I was hoping to receive some advice on the unfortunate situation that I currently find myself in.
Last night, at 7pm, I was at an intersection waiting for the oncoming traffic to clear so that I could turn left. I thought that I was waiting at the intersection behind only one other vehicle (a van)…
So i received my first speeding ticket...officer claimed I was doing 73 km/hr in a 50 zone. He did reduce it to 63 - should fight it? The ticket did not mention a cross road. Its just states N.B on Caledonia. I don't believe d points are affected but I'm worried about insurance.
Exactly a week ago today, I was caught going 135 in an 80, on Highway 3 near Windsor, Ontario. I know this is just completely idiotic and there hasn't been a minute since I was charged that I haven't been smacking myself for this. I'm very, very remorseful and just overall torn about…
I was making a left turn, didn't have headlights on and was putting on my seatbelt at a time. Really stupid thing to do, was very stressed out and just feel dumb about it. What am I facing, and what impact will it have on my insurance? On ticket it just says Careless driving, there are no details..
Late Saturday afternoon, December 1st, I entered the Shops at Don Mills with my vehicle and drove due East as I needed to make a quick deposit in the TD Bank. I made a left hand turn onto the side street and on the right side where I parked, there is a condo under construction with all the usual…
Hi, I just received a notice in the mail with pictures of my car going through a red light. Ticket is in my husband's name, as he is the car owner, but I drive this car. I'm guilty as can be... can't remember doing it, but apparently went right through intersection after light turned red. I…
