You should say, you were simply driving as fast as he was and did not look at the speedometer, as you were certain he would never violate the law himself.

I'm not surprised actually this is happening given that things like this are becoming quite common. It seems freedom is dying in general in Canada.

So the Ontario government wants to end trials for traffic ticket offences(not only parking as before). Here is the proposed consultation. You can find a pdf outlining their proposal. http://www.attorneygeneral.jus.gov.on.ca/english/poa_consultation.asp Clearly this is a Charter violation. Pls email ...

You can't lose by filing for trial. File for trial and wait. Firstly you delay the charge entering your record until potentially you are 25(when insurance rates drop). Secondly, you may never get a trial(sometimes they make mistakes and mess up something)-this is unlikely however. If it comes to a t...

I received an Alberta photoradar ticket. The car has Ontario plates. I'm wondering what would happen if this ticket is not paid. I did not drive or speed in this vehicle and hence I do not intend to pay this fine.

This probably warrants a complaint to the law society regarding the paralegal's conduct.

Another question-hypothetically speaking, if they impose demerit points for cellphone offences in the future but before I have paid my fine-would that apply to me or not?

Hey All, I have a question. I was driving recently and was caught and charged under the distracted driving law as someone called me. It mentions I have 15 days to pay but I want to consider my options. I also read in the newspaper that the set fine of $155 will be going up March 18th. Would this app...

Hey Everyone, Appreciate your help. I was caught going 42 over. The ticket was reduced by the officer to 32 over. Of course disclosure wasn't provided. During the first court session(about 5 months following offence), the prosecutor argued that it was my fault that disclosure wasn't provided and wan...
