Thank you for the responses. Any tips on fighting this kind of thing? Does stressing since I have never been in an accident (and therefore never rear-ended anyone) despite driving daily almost every day of the year mean anything in terms of safety? If I find a way to prove that the statement written is false, is that at least enough to raise questions and give me a slight upper hand there?

After requesting disclosure, I received for the following too closely ticket a copy of the trial notice, officer's notes, ticket, CPIC response. As for the speeding ticket, I received a copy of the trial notice, ticket, officer's notes, and a copy of Genesis-II Directional & Genesis II-Select p.9 of the manual. My request for typed copies of both officers notes was overlooked initially by the clerk, later on sent upon my request. It's been a month now, and still no typed copies. I am going to go ahead and request other important things (based on this example one: http://scopezoom.com/11b/F...

I have a few questions regarding two tickets I received over the same event. There were two officers in the vehicle, the officer in the passenger side did this: - He yelled and pointed forward out the window telling me to move up further while I was in the process of pulling over on the highway (I realize they need to park behind the car they are pulling over, but it seems rather dangerous to distract the driver who is obediently pulling over, saw him when I checked my blind spot) Also: - One of the officer's spoke with me about one offense, did not mention the second while the other officer w...

Thank you for all the info so far. I am going to fight this, as I don't believe I was doing anything wrong when I was moving into the right lane, and think I just got targeted as nothing even happened. I will be applying for the disclosure of the notes, and will formulate my defense accordingly. I do have another question, though. Both the tickets are hand written (not printed), so I am not sure if "10km/h" over was actually determined by a radar machine, or just guessed at and thrown in there, same with the supposed distance between me and the other car, which was claimed at 2 meter...

There were two cops in the cruiser. One gave me the 10km/h over ticket, the other issued the following too closely after I moved into the right lane to get out of congestion. I take it that they still must both be there despite issuing me one ticket each? Should I put these both to trial together?

Do I ask for a disclosure request at the same time I put the option for not guilty and a trial? I'd need to drag the dates out by about 1.5 years since my first ticket was convicted over 2 years from the issued date. As for road conditions, it was sunny and the roads were dry, no rain recently. The highway is in fairly good shape, and I was pulled over just after a bend that was going right then straight again. That time is more or less rush hour, and the cruiser was far behind me, so I don't know how he could claim I was 2 meters behind the car from being behind me, and possibly behind anothe...

I was on a highway going to work; it was late afternoon. It is an 80km/h highway. I was in a group of cars, then there was a tractor on the right side, so I merged into the left, then when I got the chance, went back into the right and away from the cars as I don't like being that close, I forget if I passed into the left and right again to get away from all the grouped vehicles. So this cruiser comes from behind that I didn't notice until later, must have really sped into the group of cars. I couldn't see the flashers because it was bright out and no sirens went on, so I had to look to my lef...
