I have three questions. 1. The notice didn't use my full name, does that make it invalid? My full name has two middle names, like many catholic females. My second middle name is missing on the fine. All my government issued ID/cards has my full name of four words. 2. The photo is very dark. It looks like my car is over the white line in the first photo, and the camera says the red light had been red for 000.3 seconds before I entered the intersection. You can't even see my front tire, it's just not there, nor is my fender, as it's that dark. Is this a valid photo? Or is my copy suppose to be of poorer quality? 3. The fine says the intersection I'm at is Derry Rd and rexwood rd/netherbrae rd. I looked at Google maps, and netherbrae is not part of that intersection. It doesn't even connect to either of the roads I was on or crossing over. You have to take rexwood to another two roads to get access to netherbrae Rd. Why does it say 3 roads and is that valid? This is my first fine (I'm ticket free) and the price will put me in financial trouble for months. Any help advice is greatly appreciated.

They just send it to whatever name is listed in the computer as the plate owner. The fine is just going to end up going against your plates, not your license. Red light camera tickets are glorified parking tickets where the I.D. of the driver isn't important. Even if it was a real ticket where your license comes into play, it wouldn't matter. There will be enlarged photos for you made available should you request both a trial and disclosure. The photos are reviewed by an officer before a ticket is issued. Rexwood becomes a dead end at approximately 200m and the road continues on Netherbrae. It's included probably as a convenience to help provide some clarity. You'd be better off trying to have this ticket reduced rather than going wherever you're trying to go. They are practically impossible to beat, your insurance provider isn't going to care, and almost no one wastes their time with these. Maybe you can get the fine cut in half. It's probably your best bet at the end of the day.

I recently beat one of these "unbeatable " tickets. This is what I did It looks like you are looking in the right direction in that there is no excuse for going through a red and you have to fight their evidence. I went to the light where I got the ticket. I took a video of the light going through one cycle with my phone. I took the video and slow it down. I didn't t use any special program, just windows movie maker or some free editing software. There are two lights at most intersections, one in the middle and one on the right curb side. I noticed that the lights did not change from yellow to red at the same time. There was a brief period of time when one light was red and the other light was blank, what I mean is that there was slight delay in one light changing from yellow to red. I pulled 4 frames out of the video, one showing two greens, two yellows, two reds and one showing a red and a blank light. I emailed the pictures to Blacks. I argued that there was a problem with the timing circuits in the lights which is shown by the lights not changing at the same time. The red light camera is timed to the lights. Any problem in the system means that the evidence can not be trusted. They bought my argument. I may have gotten lucky finding the delay in the lights changing. I would make the same argument if there was a delay in any part of the cycle, red to green, green to yellow or yellow to red Be aware of the rules for submitting pictures as evidence Your welcome

Hi everyone. I'm asking for a friend who has a question of interpretation.
He was ticketed for using a hand-held device. He contends that he was acting within the exemption provided under Subsection 14 (1) of O. Reg. 366/09, which reads as follows (emphasis added):
Hey guys i just wanted to know what speeds you see others do on the roads on a regular basis. As we all know no body drives 100 km. It seems they only hit that speed twice once on the way up and once on the way down.
it seems the De Facto limit on the 401 is about 120-130. But lately i dont know if…
On June 10, 2017, I was pulled over by an OPP on the 403 heading WB and told I registered 136km/hr. I kept chit chat to a minimum and took my ticket and went on with my day. I later requested my disclosure and did not receive it until a week before my Oct. 27 court date, and so I had my date…
Anyone know any more information? Apparently kathleen wynne mentioned trying to introduce legislation after more than 20 years of no speed cameras. My guess is that it wont happen, since they've tried before many times to bring it back after it was abolished.
The other day I was given a ticket for speeding 119 in a 90, on highway 17 near Marathon, ON (Speeding ticket capital of the universe, BTW). The officer claims to have "clocked" me using the vehicle mounted radar at 121 KMH and dropped it (presumably to lower fine and demerits).
I posted this in the 3 Demerit Section and haven't received any
responses.
I received a failure to stop at an amber light ticket on April 17, 2009. At my First Attendance Meeting I asked to read the police officer's notes and remember thinking how ridiculous they were and the difficulty…
I was on the right side of the road going straight when a pedestrian waved down the taxi driver in the lane next to me. He pulled over to the right without any notice or signalling and hit me with the side of his car.
There were many witnesses but I immediately had a concussion and did not think of…
My mother was driving EB on a 4 lane street (2 lanes EB, 2 lanes WB).
She was in the left hand lane and started a left hand turn so as to enter a side street, crossing WB traffic. There was NO intersection. She hit a cyclist who was heading WB. Police where called but none showed up. My…
If the speed limit is 50, and you do 100+, not only do you get 6 points. Your car gets impounded for a week, and your license suspended for 7 days, along with a hefty fine of at least $2000. The penalty is actually the same as for racing. The law came in effect on October 1, 2007. Remember -…
I was driving westbound on Hwy. 8 earlier this month in North Dumfries Township, approaching the Cambridge city limits. The weather was clear and the roads were dry. I noticed a vehicle on the shoulder on my side of the road, pointing towards me. This didn't concern me right away, as it is a rural…
