Hiall, My dad passed away Oct 18th. I was notified on Oct 19th at work and that night after working all day I tried to go to the cemetary on Hwy 27 and Queen to light a candle. Took the route across Queen and at Airport Rd I was following a truck and it was dark (7pm) and was unable to brake in time. Yes, I admit I ran the red light by the 1.03 seconds it says. I asked for option 3 as I wanted to talk to the prosecutor. My date is in January. I am concerened because I have 2 at fault accidents and don't need this being reported to the insurance as well. One accdient is aobut to be removed in the spring. Also, not sure if this carries any demerit points or if it will increase my insurance. Basically, not sure if I should plead for his compassion? I do totally admit that I was rushing to get to the cemetary, definitely ran the red and was behind a truck. Any advice please on how to approach this so that it is not reported ot the insurance or at least so that it is reduced enough that it will not affect my insruance (if that's possible)? thanks!

Fortunately red light camera tickets do not show up on your driving record and have no demerit points attached to them. Since there is no entry on your driving record your insurance company will not find out about it. Still it is a $325 fine so it may be worth your while to speak to the prosecutor to see if they are willing to lower that amount.

Thank you! that's what I wasn't sure about but I didn't want to call the insurance and ask. Yes, for sure I will speak to the prosecutor to see if it can be reduced, but so relieved it will not affect insurance! thanks!

Hi there, this incident occurred on the night of July 1st, so my deadline on this ticket is July 16th. I plan on going to the court office on Monday so I figured I'd see what the experts think about my case. As a result, I apologize for the long post, but I don't want to leave out any details.
I have several problems and I'm wondering what my options are. This past weekend I was driving home from Lake Huron and was caught going 112 in an 80km/h zone. I am currently on my Quebec probationary license which is revoked at 4 demerit points. The penalty in Quebec for going +32 km/h over is 3…
