Hi Got caught speeding on 401 near Brockville 50Km over the limit. The police clocked me at 153km/h but put on the ticket 156km/h cause of radar tolerance. I am a good boy with clean record. I was speeding cause someone put a time restriction on me. I was keeping an eye on the speedometer not to go over 140km/h. I dont know how I got over 150km/h. I already paid close to $1000 for getting the car back after it being impounded. I live in Toronto. I am not a stunter as the charge on my ticket says. I was speeding. If the charges are laid as per law, it will cause me considerable hardship. Did any of you had any experiences in Brockville with this 172(1) article? regards Unlucky
Hi
Got caught speeding on 401 near Brockville 50Km over the limit.
The police clocked me at 153km/h but put on the ticket 156km/h cause of radar tolerance.
I am a good boy with clean record. I was speeding cause someone put a time restriction on me. I was keeping an eye on the speedometer not to go over 140km/h. I dont know how I got over 150km/h.
I already paid close to $1000 for getting the car back after it being impounded. I live in Toronto.
I am not a stunter as the charge on my ticket says. I was speeding. If the charges are laid as per law,
it will cause me considerable hardship.

If he was parked on an angle to the direction of traffic he is likley adding speed because of the cosign error. This would drop the speed indicated on the gun lower than the actual speed of the target because you are not driving directly toward the gun.

Unlikely. Police aren't allowed to modify the speed based on what they believe the cosign error to be. The offence should be for the speed shown on the radar. And I really can't see an officer caring about an extra 3 km/h when the speed is already so excessive.

What do you mean by that? You think you were going 153? Or the officer actually said they got you at 153 but put 156 on the ticket? The police officer said he got me at 153km/h but because of the radar tolerance he put 156km/h. He explained that to me personally. My knees buckled, cause he could have went the other way.

I would request disclosure. I've never heard of police being allowed to raise speed readings regardless of cosine effect and/or radar tolerances. I think you would have good grounds to fight the charge since the Crown would have difficulty proving a speed greater then what the radar showed. I'd suggest consulting a paralegal.

Well if the officer says words to the effect of "I put 156 because of radar tolerance," a good paralegal or traffic lawyer would demolish him during cross-examination. For a serious charge like stunt driving, I'd recommend getting professional help.

I have a pretty general question, I am just wondering, If a Police Officer is doing radar (or laser.. whatever) on an unlit area of a highway and is out of his vehicle do this, with his vehicle faced into traffic (but on the center median emergency turn around). If there is multiple cars on the…
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…
Careless driving (HTA 131) deal down: lessons I learned
Careless Driving (6 demerit points) seems to be a "favourite" charge among police officers. It is certainly serious enough to get your attention and any plead down to say 2 or 3 points seems a gift. Here is a case where quick action and…
