Completed and gave the back of the ticket to the Barrie Provincial Offences Court today. Plead not guilty. The lady confirmed to me that the ticket was filed within the 7 days. I asked if I could speak with the prosecutor prior to the trial since I will be posted (moved) this month to a new city and I want to solve this prior to then. She told me that this is not done in Barrie. Also, she told me about the Canada Post strike and stated that it "was my responsibility to know my court date and contact them if I didn't receive anything in the next 4 to 6 weeks". Reading other websites, ...

Forgot to ask. The ticket that the MP gave me only states the street that I received the ticket on, along with it being a defence establisment, in the particular county. However, I thought that the ticket had to indicate at which stop sign the offence took place, i.e. list the intersection on the ticket?? This particular road is not that long, but it does have four stops signs on it. Would the ticket that I am issued with have to indicate the intersection at which I received the ticket?

Thanks.

I spoke with the MTO Driver Control office today, after having some fun phone issues. The entire morning on hold, then had to go to a meeting so had to hang up, phoned back in the afternoon, the call system wasn't working, and finally got through around 2:30 p.m. today. In a nutshell, the lady at MTO was very nice and polite and took the time to pull out the conviction tables. She said that the only thing on her tables that closely resembled a GPTR reference (it was under the Act that creates the GPTR, which is the Government Property Traffic Act) was for speeding. She asked me if speeding was...

The MP is alleging that I went right through the stop sign. The exact quote is "Fail to obey traffic sign - stop sign". He never charged me with speeding or anything like that. There is no line on the road. As for the GPTR, I have had a really hard time finding much info on it, besides the actual regulations themselves, but this is much, much less detailed than the HTA. If there is no distinction made between moving and non-moving violations for the GPTR, then this would make sense as to why everybody I speak with has never seen it on a driver's record. I have both MP and civilian po...

I recently received a ticket from a military policeman on a military base in Ontario. Therefore, I was charged under the "Government Property Traffic Regulations" (GPTR), section 9. I know that some may say, why are you posting on a website for the HTA? Well, in Ontario, the military uses the Provincial Offences Act/Ontario Court of Justice for traffic tickets issued on a military base, i.e. Federal Property. The fine is for $65, no demerit pts (as this does not exist in the GPTR), but a conviction will most likely show up on my Ontario driver's record. From what I have been told, th...
