hi all, I got a ticket a few months ago for parking at the fire route, I have challenged it and got a court appearance in a couple of days and I wanted to find out what i can do. here is what happened I was dropping a friend at his house and he lives in those housing complex at 1 am at night. As soon as I entered the complex, my car went over a beer bottle, shattering it which punctured my tire. I stopped the car in front of my friend's house to drop him, looked at the tire which had leaked more than half of the air already. I put the emergency lights on and started to jack up my car to change...

so apparently i should've asked for a first attendance specifically instead of a trial even though there was no option on the form for that. I called the court and they told me that and she said that its too late to request that and i've to go to the trial.

so any suggestions now? do i meet the prosecutor outside the court to plea bargain or what else can i do?

thanks admin, i had seen the first one but not the others

so i went to the court today and told them that i wanted to represent my dad, the girl said no problem, gave me a form to fill with my dad's information but told me to sign my name in the end of the form and i got a trial date

NOW, when do i meet the prosecutor? i assume there is no first attendance with this type of ticket, so do i meet him before the trial and how would i find him on the trial day?

thanks

i am not sure why i haven't received a reply to this question since a few ppl here must know it.

anyways, apparently i can so i am going to go in and find out what i've to do to represent my dad and will post the full details as to how this is done

hi all,

i was driving my dad's car when i was caught by the red light camera in Brampton. My dad would've to take time off work to go ask for a trial and then go to one.

Can i represent him? if yes, what do i need to do?

thank you

it really depends on the insurance company.

I got two tickets in the span of 3 years, fought both of them, got them reduced to 15 km/h over (i was 20 over in both cases) and my insurance has not gone up. It is also possible that i am very very lucky and somehow have escaped insurance company's eye (which i also doubt but thats what has happened)

ahhh excellent, thanks Reflections

for anybody interested in reading what Reflections is talking about, read this: http://www.wheels.ca/Article/Category/article/167046

so i saw a cop with a radar looking at incoming traffic and i decided to warn the incoming traffic of the cop and starting flashing my headlights and suddenly i see another cop on my side of the road telling me to pull over. He tells me that he knows what i was doing and that is considered an "improper use of headlights" and carries a $110 ticket but he let me go after i said i was sorry.

Seems to me that he was just trying to scare me and there is no such law. Can anybody confirm this? i would love to actually see where this rule is in the traffic act

this is where i read it.

read the full article, very interesting. he was charged for obstructing the traffic flow and being a left-lane bandit. very interesting

I've been told that it is illegal to drive at 100 km/h (speed limit) in the left lane because left lane is a designated a passing lane.

The question is, if i can't drive in it at 100 km/h and i can't go over 100 km/h which rule of the law do i follow?

I am asking wut the rule of the law is and not someone's opinion.

thanks
