That's all I'm looking for. Yes I plugged in my phone while stopped at a stop light. Yes, under the law I'm guilty, but I'm hoping to get it reduced as I can't afford $500

Hi All,
I got my date for court. Can anyone tell me how to get in touch with the prosecutor if their name isn't on this form? And they didn't even sign it.

Thanks!!

So worst case scenario is I have to pay the full fine and waste my time going to court.... best case scenario, I get a reduced fine (or some miracle happens and get it thrown out)....

I had my phone in my hand, and plugged it in... I was at a stop light (a long one) and literally plugged it in and shook the wire until it buzzed to show me it was charging. I know I did it... I'm not saying I didn't... but I wasn't aware that I wasn't allowed to even "touch" my phone whil...

It was Section 78.1(1)
And offence was written as: Drive - Hand-Held Communication Device

Are the attached sufficient?

Thanks for your help!!

I was stopped at a stop light (it was a long stop light at big intersection) and remembered my battery on my cell was running low (I'm a mother of 3 young kids and having cell battery is important), so I plugged it in, noticed the plug was fraying, fiddled with it for about 5 seconds to confirm it w...

There is an option 2, to not do a trial but rather to Plead Guilty with submissions as to penalty. I think you just show up at their office during given times to ask for a reduction? Is that how that works?

Hi All, I just received an Offence Notice on Form 5 and have read a few older threads on here that suggest this might not be legal, and they have to use another form such as Form 6.
