Hi everyone, I was charged for "stunt" driving after coming off a left turn and accelerating a little bit too quickly, causing my rear wheels to spin out, as it is rear wheel drive. My speed was maybe around 30. I lost control for about 0.5 seconds straightened. The road was completely empty besides me. Quite possibly the most pansy "stunt" I've ever witnessed in my life. I will be asking the convenience store/gas station for footage since it was straight across from them A lot of people have been charged for "stunt driving" when going 50 over but I have seen very few on drifting. Does anyone have any idea what I can expect on my summons date? Will I be able to show "the crown" the video (provided I can get my hands on it) and would that help my case and possibly get a reduction? Or would that just solidify the case against me, that I indeed did drift for half a second? And what would it even be reduced to? Thank you all *Rant about the officer, totally unnecessary to read but feel free: Officer thought I saw him even though he was undercover (I was looking at and admiring his muscle car + another one behind him and wondering why there was no badge, guess I know now hah) and was very upset about this point and totally fixated on it. Maybe thinking I was doing this to be "defiant" or something silly like that, so he wanted to slam me to teach me a lesson??? Also told me I had the throttle opened (wasnt even half, having throttle open on this car during a turn is indeed a death sentence). When I told him that I did not, the aftermarket exhaust is just loud he said "no you dont have that much horsepower in there". But a minute ago he said himself "I drive an M3, I know what its like to drive fast cars and I never do this kind of thing". His M3 has 18% more horsepower than mine.......so I guess 18% is enough to make his car "fast" but mine "not much power". Interesting fellow indeed.

Also, a little confused as to him giving me stunt driving tickets. One for "cause tire to lose traction" and the other "spin on circle without control". Not sure when 15 degree change became a "circle" but I digress. My question is if this means I have to fight both and would have to accept pleas for both. Did he just hit me with minimum 2 x $2000 fines? Or do they just support one another? Thanks all

when is the date on your summons? All POA cases are suspended til Sept 11th. I guess you have plenty time to think about what you want to do with it. BTW, have you tried to lookup your case on https://www.justiceservices.jus.gov.on. ... C001.xhtml For your questions, the process of a summons is different than a ticket. Basically you did something so bad they wont give you an out of court settlement option so you have to attend the court. What you will expect is to say hi to the prosecutor and he or she might provide you an immediate resolution depending on the mood of the that person. If not he or she will provide you with your disclosure and you then can set a date for trail. And you have the liberty to use a lawyer or paralegal after you got your disclosure.

Thank you very much for your reply. My summons date is late November and I will do my best to remember to update everyone here after it happens in case it helps the next guy. I was unable to get video footage as the cameras face down for license plates and not towards the street sadly. Thank you very much for sharing that link, didn't know it was a thing. I will contact the municipal office for the case number.

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…
