Re: 144(9) from "Keep Left" sign?

Also, if I just received disclosure today and my trial is on Monday, am I supposed to submit photographs ahead of time, or can I just do it during trial?

Re: 144(9) from "Keep Left" sign?

Anyone? I have my trial date again soon, I'd like to know if I can successfully use regulation 615?

Thanks!

Re: 144(9) from "Keep Left" sign?

Would regulation 615 (the 60m visibility thing) apply in this case?

Re: 144(9) from "Keep Left" sign?

Hi All,

I was wondering, are there any laws or bylaws regarding where a sign is placed in the intersection? Do they have to be ahead of you, or can they be off to the side facing the other direction?

Also, I was in court today (got an adjournment), but the JP had mentioned that if the sign is visible, it's an absolute liability case. Is that true ...

Re: Grounds for an appeal?

Yeah, I know they can cost a few hundred :(

Do I get that back if they approve the appeal? And what happens to the conviction while the appeal is in progress, is it still on my record until it gets overturned?

Thanks

Grounds for an appeal?

Hi all,

I recently lost my case for running a red light contrary to 144(18). However, there were two issues which I found odd, and was wondering if it was enough grounds for an appeal?

1) The officer testified as to the duration of the traffic lights. I had video evidence that what he said was incorrect, but being new to defending myself, I ...

Re: 144(9) from "Keep Left" sign?

How would I know if 144(9) is strict or absolute liability though? Does anyone know?

Re: 144(9) from "Keep Left" sign?

Yeah, that was my thinking regarding the intent of the sign as well.

Is ambiguous signage a defense? I wonder if I can contact the city somewhere and get a ruling on that intersection from a city employee that I could use in court.

Thanks

Re: 144(9) from "Keep Left" sign?

I think he is talking about the "keep left" sign. But if he is, then it's really, really ambiguous.

144(9) from "Keep Left" sign?

Hi all,

I was driving west on lakeshore at Bathurst, and there's that fork in the road where Fleet street is. So if going on lakeshore east of bathurst onto fleet street, you have to turn right and go straight.

| LW | T | F |

| LE |

- LW = Lakeshore west of bathurst
- LE = Lakeshore east of bathurst
- T = Turning onto bathurst from Lakeshore ...

Not enough time for disclosure?

Hi all,

I'm trying to request disclosure for a "Running a red light" ticket that I received. I have a few questions:

1) The officer alluded to him having video of me running the light. Can I request disclosure for this?

2) I just received notice of my trial today, but it's scheduled for the end of February. That's not a lot of notice for them to ...

Re: Ticket at airport not HTA violation?

Yeah, it's an interesting case. I would imagine that if the provincial regulations apply to ticketing, shouldn't it also apply to the enforcement of the laws and cases regarding that system?

Also, what does this mean for having the conviction on my record for insurance companies to have a look at? The officer told me that it wouldn't apply because ...

Re: Ticket at airport not HTA violation?

So does that mean that this isn't a fatal error because there are prescribed fines in the HTA? How is it not okay for the fine to be missing if filed under the HTA but okay if it's not the HTA yet being fined under the HTA?

I'm not really sure that this tells us anything, does it?

Ticket at airport not HTA violation?

Hi all,

I recently got a speeding ticket (40 in a 30 zone, dropped from 70 in a 30, but no notes about that on the ticket or anything) on Pearson Airport grounds, so the ticket is for "traffic on the landside of airports regulations, section 5". However, there is no fine amount on the ticket.

Does that mean I can kill the ticket? If I plead ...
