Hello Everyone, First post here, I received a red light camera system offense Form 6 Reg.108/11 and they are asking for a $325.00 fine. I understand the offense, however my question is on how to proceed:. I have been provided three options: Option 1 )Trial Option 2)Early Resolution - Meet with Prosecutor Option 3)Plea of Guilty - Voluntary Payment I'm not sure if going to Trial is a good idea since the ticket does not affect me, however paying $325.00 dollars is out of the question. If I go meet with the prosecutor, what do I say? What kind of deal can I cut? is there a possibility of this back firing? Any Help would be appreciated Thanks again :)

Red Light Ticket offences do not go on your driver's license. It goes to your vehicle, and if you fail to pay it... you'll pay $325 + admin fees when you renew your plate sticker. It's in your best interest to choose the early-resolution and get it over with. I believe the minimum fine set out by the regulation is $200. Having said that, if you can show extraordinary financial hardship they can drop the set fine and even suspend the sentence ($0). You can also ask to setup a payment plan without interest (ie. $10/month). http://www.e-laws.gov.on.ca/html/statut ... te]Penalty for disobeying red light (31.2.1) Every person who contravenes subsection (18) is guilty of an offence and on conviction is liable to a fine of not less than $200 and not more than $1,000. 2009, c. 5, s. 44 (2).[/quote]http://www.e-laws.gov.on.ca/html/statut ... ote]Relief against minimum fine (2) Although the provision that creates the penalty for an offence prescribes a minimum fine, where in the opinion of the court exceptional circumstances exist so that to impose the minimum fine would be unduly oppressive or otherwise not in the interests of justice, the court may impose a fine that is less than the minimum or suspend the sentence.[/quote]

I got a speeding ticket on the 401 by Cornwall. The officer said I was going 140 initially then dropped it to 130 (for the record I don't believe for a second I was going 140, that's way faster than I would ever intentionally drive). I filled out the info on the back of the notice to request a…
I was recently charged with stunt driving on a 60kmh road. When I was pulled over, the officer told me I was going almost 100kmh (still 40kmh above the limit) but was charging me for stunt driving because I accelerated quickly from an intersection on an empty road (in a straight line). I know…

Are any non-domestic vehicles "pursuit-rated" in North America? Also have the Michigan State Police (this is relevant because apparently they have the most accepted selection/testing process) tested any of them to see if they meet their criteria? Just curious...
Ottawa, Canada (AHN) - Beginning Tuesday, or April Fool's Day 2008, fines on Quebec drivers caught overspeeding will be doubled. It is not only the money penalty that will go up, but also demerit points.
The new law, Bill 42, is similar to Ontario's street racing rule. It stipulates fines for…
A friend got a ticket Jan. 9th of this year for doing 110 kph in a 90 kph zone, so 20 over.
What should the set fine and total payable read?
It's confusing to me, as the prescribed fine under HTA s.128 is different than the set fine enumerated by the Chief Justice of the Ontario Court of Justice.
An OPP officer ticketed me claiming I was going 40km/h over the limit (140km/km) on my way home with a few friends on the 401. This is my first ever speeding offense. Although I am sure I was over the limit, I am almost certain that I was not going 40 over, more realistically closer to 30 over. The…
Yesterday night I was charged for stunt driving (excess over 50km/h) and I have a few inquiries. I'm sure you've all heard the same story, but the unmarked cop in an SUV was tailing me for a good 2-3 minutes as I was travelling 120~135 km/h. Then as he came close I decided to boot it up…
I had a speeding ticket in May 2013 which brought me to 9 demerit points out of 15. I received a letter and had to attend an interview. Due to a history of speeding tickets and a previous interview a few years prior, the interviewer decided to put me on zero tolerance for a year. Meaning if I…
