Re: Plea to non-HTA offence? Or non moving violation?

Thanks for the advice!

Anyone know the complete ins and outs for Allstate? It seems as though I won't take a hit for a single minor offense, but not sure about a second one.

I've been trying to clean up my act (successful!) but mistakes can happen (both by the OPP and myself!)

Plea to non-HTA offence? Or non moving violation?

Hello all,

What are the chances of getting a prosecutor to actually change the charge to a non motor vehicle related offence? Or even, say, a dirty plate (if that wouldn't affect my insurance?)

Thanks!!

Re: Slowest of multiple targets, ticketed anyway....

I keep waffling back and forth on this, wether to fight it, or not. I've decided to go with a #3 (request trial) and at least review disclosure, before making up my mind. At least waste some of their time so the don't make any money off me!! I have a few other specific questions that may be better a...

Re: Slowest of multiple targets, ticketed anyway....

That's certainly a hypothetically perfect scenario!! I am going to go for trial option 3 and at least ask for disclosure. There is also a trial option without requesting the officers presence, what good would that be? So, given enough time to prepare cross examination questions, the cross examinatio...

Re: Slowest of multiple targets, ticketed anyway....

I really appreciate the advice... even if it is mostly discouraging..... of course, all your excellent answer just lead to more questions!!!: - when multiple vehicles ARE present, what burden of proof is there that the officer made a reasonable attempt to determine the strongest target? - if the rad...

Re: Slowest of multiple targets, ticketed anyway....

#3 it is. At least I have some chance of a positive outcome rather than 100% gaurantee that I am deemed guilty by handing them a win on a sliver platter!!! I have about a million questions, though..... but lets start with a few: - does the officer need to prove independent visual reference of speed ...

Re: Slowest of multiple targets, ticketed anyway....

I haven't seen much info about early resolution. Do they send you contact info etc. Once you choose #3 option?

Re: Slowest of multiple targets, ticketed anyway....

I give up..... there's just too much chance for things to go in their favor on this. If I start looking at the probability of a win, I probably have a 1 in 10 chance of fighting this, and a 9 in 10 chance of getting the MAJOR violation on my insurance record. Not worth it. I've decided to pay the fi...

Slowest of multiple targets, ticketed anyway....

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 was not ...
