Ontario Highway Traffic Act

Ok, i'm just waiting on my trial date to come in the mail so I can request disclosure. Depending on what's in the officer's notes I may fight it or go to the crown prosecutor's office to arrange a plea-bargain.

I'll keep everyone filled in on my progress.

Alright thank you everyone! I now have all of the information I need to fight this ticket.

Alright so it seems my best bet is to plea-bargain. I luckily bumped into an old police officer on my friend's boat yesterday who worked with the crown-attourney and even he told me to file a court date, ask for disclosure, and then plea-bargain it down to 15 or 20 over.

If me saying I thought I was going 35 over is in the officer's notes then I don't have much of a ...

If there's no way to beat the ticket, is there any way to get the cost reduced? Am I able to speak to a judge one and one to explain my I realized my faults, and have no intention of doing it again, and then explain my financial situation?

I would preferably like to schedule a trial to take my chances of the officer not showing up. If the officer ...

I was just stopped yesterday by a cruiser on the side of a split highway at 9:35pm. I realized I was speeding at around 140km/h (passenger seat agreed) and when I saw the cruiser in front of me I hit the breaks to slow down to 100km/h. As soon as I was near parallel to him (two lanes) he put on the flashers and pulled me over.

The officer told me ...
