Location Of Infraction Inaccurate
Hi there.
Today I received a ticket which claimed I was going 57 km in a 40 km zone. There was a tripod and a radar gun set-up at that location.
But the address of where this infraction occurred, as indicated on the ticket, was not where I got pulled over.
I checked the street number indicated on the ticket and that area is actually a 50 km zone.
Is this considered a fatal error? Do I plead not guilty and request a trial date or can this type of error be handled without a trial.
Thanks in advance,

The offence location on the ticket should be where the offence took place, not where the vehicle is stopped.
Re: Location Of Infraction Inaccurate
Oh ok in that case if the location indicated on the ticket should be where the offense took place, but that location was actually a 50 km zone and not 40 km as stated in the 'offense committed description', would you say that is a good enough case to get off the hook for the fines/points or at least a re-assessment of the fine (57 km in a 50 km zone)

i do not know why any # is wrote on the offence address either....seems unusual, unless of course on "Highway #"
Re: Location Of Infraction Inaccurate
Interesting. The process took only 2 minutes .. from getting pulled over getting a ticket and then driving away.
I didn't speak a word and he mentioned at the end to book a trial date to have your fines reduced. Maybe he intentionally put a number on the address to let me fight off the ticket easier ... Would be strange if that's the case...
Anyways any opinions on how I can present a defense would be appreciated. I've read the ticket combat website but still not sure how to put up my argument if the cop decides to say it was a typo in court
