Nothing needs to be noted in the code box. Sometimes the officer will write "R" for reduced, but definitely not mandatory. School zone does not need to be added to the wording. You may want to check the signage in the area to make sure the school zone signs/flashing lights were clearly posted for the direction you were travelling. In regards to the officer not being present at trial, sometimes they will provide their contact info to the prosecutor to call them when ready to proceed. Having officers sitting around in court all day isn't really that efficient. Often they are working nearby and will be ready to attend. Not that uncommon. You could always call their bluff and demand to proceed to trial, but why would they lie about that? I don't think you're going to be a better deal than 15 km/h over. Plus, you run the risk of having speed amended back up at trial. In my opinion, it wouldn't be worth the time or effort.

On July 7th, I was driving to work, taking my usual route and it's about a 15 minute drive for me. At the first red light, I noticed I had a bit of time thanks to the countdown so I quickly…
I'm hoping somebody can point me in the right direction to track down various radar gun error codes.

My husband was driving my car and passed a school bus with flashing lights. He did not realize this until he was past the bus. The driver honked at him but there were no cops nearby and he didn't get pulled over. I believe the driver or witnesses reported this and we got issued a…
