Hi Maureen, I did not talk to the judge. Before the court starts, the prosecutor will call your name and will talk to you to see whether an settlement can be reached or not. This is the time that you can bargin with the prosecutor. In my case, the ticket flighter represented me to do the bargining. ...

My conviction was "Improper Stop"

Hi Trucklet After doing some research, I hired a ticket fighter to handle my case as I do not want to give myself too much pressure. It took 6 weeks for the fighter to get my disclosure and he followed up the disclosure once. I went to the court with the fighter. The fighter spoke to the police who ...

Hi Diehard,
In my case, it is only 11 months. If the Justice turn down my 11b, I am planning to plead guilty. Does that mean I will pay the fine & get the 3 points ? I can no longer accept the prosecutor's offer or ask the Justice for lower penalty as I have a clear record in the past ?

Shoud I let the prosecutor that I have filed an 11b ? If the Justice turns down my 11b applicatoin, can I accept the prosecutor's offer during that time or will it be too late ? Is there anyway I know the police will show up or not before the trail starts. I do not think the prosector will let me kn...

Hi Radar,
Just one more question. Based on ticketcombat's information, courts generally allow a maximum of 18 months between the date the offence was committed and the trial date. Is 11 months good enough to file 11b ?

Hi Radar, Thanks for your suggestion and I have the following questions. Q1) My charge was on Apr 21, 2010 and I went to court plead not guilty on May 03, 2010. Wihich date will the court use to count the days ? Since the trial day is March 29, 2011 and if they use May 03, 2010, it is not 11 months ...

Hi Simon & Radar, It is unlikely that the police will not show up in the court nowadays. I would like to just pay the fine without keeping any record. Is it possible just simply tell the Crown Prosecutor that I accept the charge but since I have clear record for the past years, it will be very k...

Simon : Thank you for your full explanation. Radar : Good to hear from you again. My trail date is March 29, 2011. Since I am really guilty that I did not make a full stop, I do not know to defence myself. Is there anyway I can convince the prosecutor to change the charge into municipal offence from...

Thank you for the quick response. It sounds like that even there are so many mistakes in the 'Notice of trial', there is not a good chance for me to have the case dropped as the prosecutor has the right to amend the Notice. Do you have any good example how to prevent the prosecutor from making amend...

I just received 'Notice of Trial' but there are some mistakes in the Notice. Information in the ticket is correct but the Notice has the mistakes described below 1) Date of Birth is incorrect. Since driver license depends of date of birth, the license # is incorrect as well. 2) The charge should be ...

Thank you Radar. I will keep you posted. You have been a great help. This is my first offence and I am going to spend 1/2 day in court to see how this is proceed. I am quite nerviou about it.

Hi Radar, Thanks for the quick response. I will go to the courthouse to fill out the 'Notice to Appear' this Wed.. I still have the following issues. 1) Would you please give an example of 'municipal offience' ? Do you mean 'municipal offence' will not be counted as a conviction ? My insurance premi...

I have been driving very carefully for the past 23 years but I got my first ‘Disobey sign fail to stop ticket on April 21, 2010. I was late for my massage therapy appointment located at Warden and Steele area and I use to drive along Bishop Ave and left turn at Maxome to get to Steele. H...
