Ontario Highway Traffic Act

Thanks for the advice here everyone...

I failed to appear, and my ticket was quashed without me even needing to make an appeal for a wrong set-fine amount.

Maybe the Justice of the Peace had already seen this before...

Never the less, my driving record remains clean.

Thanks Off_Camber.

I found the private message you sent to me back in January about my situation. It was, and still is very very helpful. I searched and searched everywhere for the post where I had found out what I needed to do, but couldn't find it. Turns out it was in a private message, a place I didn't think of looking.

I will keep you guys ...

Hello again everybody... it has been a while.

My court date is now about a month away.

While I do not plan on appearing in court, I still want to make sure that I have all of my bases covered before attempting to have my ticket "quashed" based on being charged the incorrect amount on the ticket.

I have tried to find the majority of my answers ...

Check my thread that is a bit older than this.

I beleive you were charged the wrong amount on the ticket.. if you were indeed charged under the same section as me.

If so, you can attempt to get it quashed. but like I said, read my thread and you can follow along the same procedure as me.

I requested a court date.

When is it appropriate to request disclosure? After I receive my notice to appear? Now? Do I even need to if I dont plan on showing up to court?

Thanks again Radar. I will keep you posted.

I am going to request a trial tomorrow, so it will be quite some time until I hear further.

Thanks for the information!

I definitely will proceed with this route. There seems like I have a bevvy of cases to use in my defence to have this quashed.

I am pretty happy to hear this.

Am I running the risk of these cases being no longer valid by the time I get to the actual appeal date? It appears as though London v. Young has held up ...

Ok, so how should I proceed?

I found that the fine should be $260, as of January 1. Would a judge not possibly make me pay the increased fine if found guilty??

Thanks again

Thanks for the speedy reply.

The ticket says "set fine of: $150" "Total payable: $180"
The ticket is dated January 15, 2010, 6:55pm

She said there were two cars in front of me, and I was behind the white line, and could have stopped. I just took that to imply that she meant before the light changed. She didn't specify a colour.

please add what specific section is on the offence notice......this will help other users to reply appropriately

It was 144(18 )

Red light

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) also waiting to turn left. I found it odd at the ...
