My court date is in a couple of weeks...I had my fine reduced to a 20 over or else would have been doing 41 over in a construction zone...I was only car on country road...the odds are stacked against me....QUestions are (may sound stupid- Im a newbie): 1. If cop shows up what should I do before trail- talk to him to reduce further? 2. Will I have a chance to reduce further with JP? What option do I have here? 3. If cop does not show up what do I do? 4. Can you suggest what I should do if I missed anything above 1- 3? Don't want to look like a bad noob on the stand? I need someone to hold a newbie's hand! Thanks

1. If cop shows up what should I do before trail- talk to him to reduce further?-------> You caught a break, take the fine. 2. Will I have a chance to reduce further with JP? What option do I have here?------> Slim to nil the JP will help, unless you can prove the officer was wrong 3. If cop does not show up what do I do?-------> If the officer is not present, try to proceed with the trial, the crown might drop it outright or try to reschedule, try for the trial 4. Can you suggest what I should do if I missed anything above 1- 3?-----> What you see is what you get, good luck.

Hey guys, wanted to know if anyone has had a similar situation, and if you have any advice:
I was travelling E/B on Dundas St and had a green light to turn S/B on Spadina Ave. There's a no right on red sign, I observed it. I initiated my maneuver, slowly pulling my car into position to make the…
Around one month ago I was travelling on the highway on my way to a job. I was in the right hand lane, checked my mirror and signalled, and moved into the passing lane when there was an opening. The fellow in front of me must have felt I was too close to him and applied his brakes and waved his…
I got a ticket, Disobey stop sign, sec 136.1.a on dec 6th
I made a left in an intersection and was pulled over by a police officer in an unmarked car who had been sitting down the road. A classic fishing hole situation. I was genuinely surprised when he stopped me and told me I went through a stop…
Received a Ticket quoting Section 154(1)(b) of the HTA while driving on a 5 lane highway (two lanes designated in each direction plus a middle centre lane for left turns) in the City of Hamilton on Friday. I was travelling westbound and signalled to make a left hand turn, went into the…
I accidentally took a right turn not realizing there was a school bus stopped to the left of a 4 way stop (which I did stop at) letting kids off the bus. I didn't realize the school bus was stopped until i looked through my rear view mirror and saw there blockade sticking out. I didn't even notice…
Long story short. Got a speeding ticket last July 07 and asked for disclosure. It never came. Went to court In january and explained this but I had no proof. So an adjournment was granted to May 30 to obtain disclosure. Received a notice in the mail that officer will be on vacation that week.…
I received a speeding ticket* about an hour ago, but only now realized the unusual situation and don't know if the below is usable in court.
The road I was driving on was a 40 km/h hour 4-lane road (speeding ticket shows 57), and I was on the right lane, the police officer was hiding behind a…
I recently imported a trailer from Michigan. I couldn't find if it was acceptable to tow it (un-plated) if I had just bought them.
Before travelling I called the local licensing office to see if I could get a temporay plate for the trailer since I read that it is illegal to tow an un-licensed…
The infraction was during a right turn, onto a major road. This was a T-intersection with two right turn lanes. My vehicle was in the right most lane, and in the lane to my left a Police Officer was making a right turn also.
500m ahead, the officer pulled me over (in a city). It seemed like a long…
