Just wondering how the 15 days that you have to exercise your options re a traffic ticket are calculated. Seems like a dumb question, I know, but I want to go with a trial option... but not enter it until the 15th day. Does it include the day the ticket was issued? My ticket was issued on Sept 21, but the date on the ticket is the 22nd. As the date on the ticket is wrong, I'm hoping that the officer filed it under the correct day (21st, instead of 22nd) and that I'll be convicted in absentia. I figure I should then be able to appeal based on being mislead by the ticket date and not noticing it was wrong until later. Not sure if that really matters either... sort of a shot in the dark. Any thoughts?

I got a careless driving ticket and I was involved in quite a serious accident. I was driving at about 60 km/h arriving towards a stop sign. Unfortunately when I tried to stop, my shoes were sliding off from my foot as they did not have any strap and were perhaps oversized and slippery. I could…
