Thanks for the responses. My question was actually more personal to me as I got a ticket on Saturday. I was trying to find out if the courts are still jammed as I might roll the dice, plead not guilty and hope that the ticket will get dismissed should the courts delay a trial beyond a...

I was talking to my daughter. She picked up a speeding ticket 3 years ago and has heard nothing. I know Covid backed up the courts and delays such of this have become normal, with many cases being dismissed. Are the courts still jammed today, such that I could expect to submit an 11(B)...

My record has been clean for years. I normally fight every ticket as I am aware that insurers count convictions so 5 over is the same as 49 over. That's the only reason to fight. I've won by questioning if the speed measuring device was tested before and after the shift and my officer at...

I was stopped for 25 over today. The officer knocked it down to 5 over. Would I be an ass to fight it? I'm fully aware that insurance doesn't care what I was doing as the conviction is what they're seeking, thus the reason to fight. If I plead guilty, any ballpark on the effect on...

I lasted less than half an hour. Do yourself a favour and clean your bike instead this weekend and take a pass or visit your favourite bike shop, you'll have a far better experience. No new bikes, as mentioned by Gary, the Harley show had me run for the door. Free admission would still be too...

I just recently purchased a machine. I was told 7 years ago in a sleep study that I had severe sleep apnea and I couldn't stomach the thought of wearing a mask to bed with all the tubes. Fast forward to a couple a months ago and I was having panic attacks in bed so the machine felt like a...

Have to admit, I hate answers like this. Didn't know you were God. Sorry but many of us like to defend, our right as Canadians, so let the OP seek advice without a nanny on his/her shoulder. End of rant.

That's interesting. Great insight, thank you.

That was my thinking. The officer's notes were quite extensive including testing before and after his shift. Thank you and Brian P for your confirmation.

Odd title, let me explain. How accurate is an officer's radar if he/she is driving in the middle of a group of cars and you are on-coming toward the group on a two lane highway, i.e. one lane each way, 80 kph zone?

Free parking will be ending soon. Green P is a client of mine and I asked the question today. Likely we'll be paying this spring.

Fwiw, I got nailed many years ago for speeding. The cop asked for the usual license, registration and insurance. When he came back with the ticket, he reached into the car and said "See you in court". I was a model citizen that day so his attitude got to me. Against the wishes of my numerous...

Just thinking, if I pulled a wheelie on my bicycle while riding down the street, could I get pulled for stunting and a Section 172? Bicycles are treated as vehicles under the HTA, so why not?

Looks like she'll lose her license anyway based on this post. She wasn't going to fight it, maybe now she should. Thanks everyone for your comments.

Thank you, JamJam, guess she'll be moving in with me, better make her bed, lol.

So my daughter was driving on the 401. She has a G2 license and got nicked for 32 over. Cop was good to knock it down to 29 over so she doesn't lose her license for 30 days given her license status. And yes, I normally fight all tickets but may let this one slide unless.... as my daughter is...

I saved $300 on my insurance by going to RBC from TD for my K1200S, 56 years old, never a claim, liability only. I have to admit that dealing with RBC was a royal pain as they had to confirm three years of continuous insurance, which I had but couldn't remember with whom I had prior insurance...

I got mine from HEAR Toronto at 586 Eglinton E. They weren't cheap, I think around $175. They did do the trick and keep a significant amount of noise out of my helmet. The key is to fit them in your ear properly before you put your helmet on.

A lawyer friend of mine recommended someone to me to fight a ticket. He was an ex-cop and I realized how the game worked, at least in my case. On the day of court, he asks me to stay outside the courtroom while he did his dance. I watched from the sidelines and all I saw was him talking to the...

Can I not do the tickets separately? I'd like to defend the speeding ticket through the court. Interesting comment made by the officer to my girlfriend was that he said if she did have a the insurance slip, he would have let her off on the speeding ticket. From what I read on this forum, this...
