I have heard of an active scam where tow truck operators will falsely report vehicles towing trailers for unsafe equipment even if there is nothing at all wrong with the trailer or vehicle . Tow truck operators then make a killing off of you for the OPP dispatched tow .

Yes , highway robbery is very much alive and well .

Sorry that you went ...

I requested disclosure about half a year ago as the notes were not at my meeting with the prosecutor, now I am going to trial without notes as they still do not have a brief, in two weeks and feel very unprepared, but innocent.

So if I understand this correctly... they still haven't given you the officer's notes and a copy of the collision ...

I look at it this way. I stop you and your respectful you get a warning. You become a dick on the side of the road (I get to be the judge as to who is a dick) and you get the ticket.

I think when a person is pulled over the cop has the advantage in setting the tone of the conversation as it is he/she that commences the stop . If the cop is ...

Unfortunately the law doesn't take your age , time of day/night , or even road conditions into account before throwing the book at you .

I would say don't feel too depressed about this. You are a teenager and you made a mistake as all teenagers do . The people commenting including cops were all teenagers and surely have made stupid mistakes when ...

So i Explained some of the stuff i read to her and She went Bonkers on me, so Shes going to the meeting alone now. Guess i will be taking The first bit of Advice rofl.. Now to find a cute gal. Who is not constantly telling me my failings nonstop.


I was going to say that it is quite unusual that the officer didn't cut her a break on any of the ...

Way to go !

Kids get their jolly doing different things. Speeding has always been one of them. This goes back no less than 50 years. What has changed is car capability & zero tolerance policy . The book will be thrown at them in all likelihood with a severity not even seen for drunk drivers .

Post your disclosure here and you will have better responses .

I certainly don't condone speeding

except of course if you are a self described "elite" driver.... then it's OK

I believe an elite driver is 'entitled' to elite driving privileges. As a driver , I would be much more comfortable to be in the company of highly qualified drivers doing a buck fifty-sixty on the freeway than with all the current ...

Pretty stupid move on your part. I know you are a cop , but come on. The kid already received 2 tickets ,acknowledges guilt , and says he has learned his lesson. It's not necessary for you to come in and make statements like that.

You should get disclosure to see what evidence he has to support his speeding and stop sign charge. You are ...

I have heard really good things about redline paralegal. I have heard nothing good about any other paralegal firm. What most do is take your money and take the deal offered by the prosecutor .

The problem with going 185 on a public road and especially in an Ontario plated vehicle is that neither are designed for it. The only reason we hear of 185 is because that's as fast as your rev-limiter will allow you to go.

Perhaps on lower end cars. Definitely not the case with higher end.

Hello,

I got a speeding ticket for doing 62 on a 50 zone in Toronto. It was on Richmond St just west of Parliament St. There was a downhill ramp with the speed initially being 60 kmph and then speed changed to 50. I try to always drive within limits even on highway.

I reduced my speed as I was going downhill, but the cop caught me at 62 and ...

[quote="argyll"]Police are trained in pursuit driving. The vast vast vast majority of other drivers have no high speed training. What would you like, a special sticker for people who have taken special training so they can drive faster than everyone else ?

Why not ? Let's offer very special training to everyone. Do you know how much good that ...

Why is jail time such a bad thing in this case? 85 over is extremely fast. Almost double the posted speed limit. He showed no regard for his life or the others on the highway. I bet he wasn't driving a Ferrari or some other vehicle designed for such high speed travel (not that is really makes any difference) which makes it extremely dangerous. 1 ...

There are better ways of holding very high speeders to account .

Locking them up is beyond STUPID ! Prison should be reserved for the real criminals in society .

Community service , loss of license , speed regulator , etc .

Too funny !!!!

Thanks for this =)

Where exactly was this ?

Unfortunately without a charge description no one can provide you proper advice.

Would be best to find an excellent driving instructor to help you improve your driving. If you know anyone who drives for a living I would bet they would be even better than a driving instructor .

Driving is a necessity and a good teacher could help make you as ...

Hi, I unfortunately got another ticket and officers came to my residence.

Some time back while parking I my phone fell down from the dashboard and I instinctively picked it up which was a stupid think to do as I was driving blind and entering a parking spot. I scratched the door of a car. I spoke to the person payed them on the spot some money ...

Thanks a lot for the comments.

I had no intention of pleading not guilty and fighting it. I was just unsure that if I tried an early resolution they would see that I blatantly ran a red 37 seconds after it turned as opposed to a couple seconds as most cases seem to be and then increase my fine as a result. I didn't want to waste my time if that ...

Yo generally don't need any sort of letter authorizing you. You only need her to OK it. I have represented a number of my friends when they have got speeding tickets and parking tickets.

thats what my friends have told me, they just ask for verbal confirmation of authorization, like did so and so allow you to represent them...

I would take it ...

Didn't know this was a judging forum !
Was looking for unbiased knowledge and insight into a legal case !

LOL, you are in the wrong place.

Go get a lawyer, that's where you might get , "unbiased knowledge and insight into a legal case ."

When they told you to call them you should use something called telephone. A telephone is a device that enables one user to input a series of numbers from 0 to 9 by pressing numbered buttons. The number should be printed somewhere on back of the ticket you received. Once you find a phone and figure out how to place the call I would reference the ...

What were you subpoenaed for ?

I don't answer radio calls. I don't catch "Criminals" every day. If you ask me whether I have anything better to do than give out tickets, I'll answer "No". I'm a Traffic Officer. This is what I do while on duty. My other duty is as a Collision Reconstructionist. I'd much rather be giving you a ticket than seeing you at a collision ...

As I was approaching the 7 and Weston intersection I was going west the light turned yellow I was going sixty and slammed on my brakes unfortnatley I started skidding and right as I was about to cross the line it snaps my plate. it was either Stop in the middle ...
