This is why I stated if you live in a jurisdiction that says meet with the prosecutor is option 2 "OPTION 2 -- Early Resolution -- Meet with Prosecutor (by choosing this option you do not forego the right to a trial)" Maybe the backs of all the tickets have changed and the plead guilty to an...

Not neccessarily. There are 3 options on the back of your ticket. Option 1 is to pay, Option 3 is elect a trial. Option 2 in some jurisdictions says something like request a meeting with the prosecutor. Others say plead guilty with an excuse (1 on 1 with JP). Sonic, in answer to your question...

If this guy works for the OPP in the GTA he probably sees 40,000 vehicles a day. He would have to really be spiteful to find you in all that. Besides, assuming he is a professional police officer -- he should respect your right to go to court. He did swear an oath to uphold the laws which...

So I went to the MM site today and priced out a 2009 Triumph Street Triple R. To my surprise, I was quoted at $762. I find that hard to believe as the value and engine size exceed my SV650. So I quoted my bike. Again, surprised to see $742 as the quote. So I called MM. They tell me that because...

Thanks for the advice. I will sniff around.

Bought my first bike May 2012. Got a brand new SV650. I had called around for quotes prior to buying it. Best quote I got was TD/MM. They quoted me $1300. Didn't care if I had taking a course or not. The fellow I spoke to told me that all they cared about was experience and lack of claims. He...

Brother, if what you are telling us is accurate, I would suggest you pick the "request a trial" option on the back of the ticket and then call the prosecutor after you receive your notice. I would not hire anyone to represent you at this point. Based on the police investigation the...

If the person who hit your bike left their contact info, call the guy up and ask him to pay for the damages. I am thinking that is why he left you the contact info. If it is bogus, you still have the description of the vehicle and licence plate left by a witness. Hit and run on private property...

Being in KW myself and riding a Suzuki, I would like to hear about the problems. I have been to Tri-City and they have treated me pretty good so far.

I bought a 2012 last week in Waterloo. Paid $7600 + tax, freight, etc. My rational was that guys selling used ones are expecting to get 150% of the price they paid for their accessories. I looked at an '07 in Fergus for $5200 with 20,000 km and a "demo" bike from Inglis cycle in London. It was...

Worst case is you take time off work to go to court, pay for parking, waste a day sitting around waiting for your trial and get convicted. Seeing as you are telling us here that you were using a phone, why would you want to go that route? Generally people who plead not guilty are not guilty.

You have caused yourself a lot of work. Going for the crazy disclosure route will get the crown to dig in their heels. Playing the "I am sorry I made a mistake I have a good history" route would have likely had a significantly reduced fine and no other work or stress on your part. If your car...
