Section 8 of the POA states you only have to pay the set fine to settle out of court without a trial. Yes, it will affect your driving record because points are involved. You insurance might go up as well.
But the offence notice you have been issues is completely bogus.
Read it.
It says you must pay the total payable.
The total payable includes two other separate fine amounts.
The offence notice is created by regulation, but the regulation is not in compliance with POA.
When a regualtion and Act conflict the statue governs.
Since the offence notice is not lawful, it is not complete and regular on its face.
If you ignore the tickets and do not repsond to them at all, you will mostly likely be convicted, but you'll win your case on appeal.
The court cannot correct errors on the ticket if you simple ignore them and do not repsond to the ticket at all.
Conversely, if you go to court and explain the rrors to the court, then can fix the errors under POA s. 34 and you can be convicted. You would not then win the case on appeal.
However, if you go to court, the court cannot fix the bogus offence notice that states you must pay the total payable.
Do what you think is best for you.
I would ignore the tickets all together and fight your case on appeal if you are convicted.
Also, your tickets involve demerit points. This means its a provincial matter and the cop was required by law to speak both French and English to you when you were stopped. He never did so. I already know.
He was also required by law to fix out the ticket in both French and English. He didn't do that either did he?
The city of Brampton is also required to have the street signs in both French and Englsih. I bet they don't right?
The speed limit sign must also be in French and English.
It was a 70 kph zone where you were stopped. But on the same road it might have an 80 section, or a 60 section, right?
When the road speed limit goes from 60 to 70 kph, the speed limit sign says 70 begins. The word "begins" must be in French and English, and where the road speed limit goes from 70 to 60 kph, the 70 "ends" sign must have the word "ends" in French and English.
Go see if the signs are in both languages.
I bet they are not.
