Inquiry: I received a ticket for offence 139 (1). Fail to yield from driveway. That is all the offence he put on there. Also cross streets were incorrect. Name was spelt incorrectly. What should I do pay or try to fight. Really would like demerits lowered. Help.
Response: The charge you’ve listed is a 3 demerit point charge. We will need to know more specific information about what occured to be able to advise if a lesser charge is applicable. As for the errors on the ticket, they may not be fatal errors to the Prosecutor’s case. We do however need to be aware of them incase they can be used to argue for the the dismissal or reduction of the charge. If you pay the fine, you will be convicted of the charge and recieve the demerit point penalty. If the demerit points are something that you would like to have the opportunity to have reduced or eliminated, you may wish to speak with one of our staff via our toll-free number 1-866-801-8299 for a no-cost initial review of your case.

Inquiry: Peace officer wrote me a ticket (Offense Notice) and filled in the Section Number as 209(6)(b) when in fact he should have wrote 209(6)(a) if anything.
Traffic Safety Act is:
209
(6) No driver of a vehicle shall fail to bring the vehicle to a stop:
(a) at every place where a stop sign is erected;
(b) when approaching a railway crossing, and a signal person or automatic signal indicates the approach of a train.
My question is if I have a case to plead not guilty as I failed to stop at a traffic light on a highway bridge. There is no railway crossing.
Response: It is possible that you may have a defence to the charge. Unfortunately we do not cover the area that you are in.

Inquiry: I recieved a speeding ticket for driving 15 over in a 40km zone, the officer failed to write my name correctly on my ticket. Do i have to pay it?
Response: If you do not respond back to your ticket by paying it or requesting a court date, you risk being convicted of the charge and having your licence suspended for non-payment of the fine. While there may be an incorrect spelling of your name, it is likely that the other unique identifier of your driver’s licence number is correct. If you would like to review defending your charge with one of our staff, we offer a no-cost initial review of cases via our toll-free number 1-866-801-8299.

Inquiry: Hi my names is Vanessa I am 18years old and I am from Ontario. I have just recently been stopped in the district of Hull,Gatineau by SQ police officer. I was on the 50 thinking that the limit was 100 so i was goin 101 at that point when i was pulled over i was advided by the police officer that the limit was actually 70 and that I was going 31over and that is what he gave me plus a 191$ fine. Their are no demirit points indicated on the fine but i understand that they are not oblidged to indicated them… and since i was stopped in Quebec will it go by the Quebec demirit system or Ontario ? I am a G2 driver… and i am eligible to go and get my G… The officer wrote my middle name wrong on the ticket Joell when its suppost to be Joelle, Also their were two dates on the fine the first one he wrote for the date i got stopped 2012/01/2 witch is incorrect because i got stoppeed january 21rst 2012/ but he correctly wrote it the second time witch is where hes suppost to write when he gave me the ticket. Thanks so much
Response: The errors may or may not be a problem for the Prosecutor. The concern I have with your matter is that since your licence was a G2 class licence on the date of offence, you may be subject to a mandatory suspension of licence on your Ontario licence under the new novice driver legislation should the charge to go conviction as is. I would recommend speaking with the MTO directly on this issue to confirm their policy regarding out-of-province convictions and novice drivers. If you would like to discuss your matter further, please feel free to contact our office via our toll-free number 1-866-801-8299 for a no cost initial review of your case.

Inquiry: My fiance was recently in a car accident where he hit the ditch and totalled a company vehicle. The officer gave him a ticket for undo care and attention but wrote his birthday wrong. Is the ticket still valid?
Response: It sounds like he may have been charged with Careless Driving, which is a very serious offence. Unfortunately the date of birth issues will not be a fatal error in the Prosecutor’s case. Depending on how the offence notice was issued, the company’s CVOR number may also be tied to the offence. I would recommend having your fiance speak with one of our staff regarding his charge. We offer a no-cost initial review on cases via our toll-free number 1-866-801-8299.

Subject speeding ticket can’t read license number clearly
Name deborah nixon
E-mail dnixon@rogers.com
Phone (416) 763-6985
Inquiry I received a speeding ticket. The officer’s writing isn’t good. The date
could be the 9th or 7th. And the licence letters could be interpreted more
than one way. Also, he didn’t ask for insurance or registration and took no
notes as he was in a hurry to pull over others. Just stood behind my car,
recorded licence and issued ticket. Is this contestable?

Inquiry: I received a speeding ticket on January 6th 2012, but the officer wrote 2011 on the ticket. Can the ticket even be registered?
Response: It is possible that the Officer may not file the ticket given the error. However, you will want to follow-up with the Court to confirm whether or not the ticket was filed. I would recommend contacting the Court approximately one week after the offence date, and then another week after that to verify. If the offence is filled and goes to conviction, you may be stuck with the MTO and insurance repercussions. If you require our assistance, our staff can be reached via our toll-free number 1-866-801-8299.

Inquiry: I ran a stop sign and got pulled over the beginning of December 2011. Resulting in a hefty ticket of 300$. But the cop wrote as the due date of the ticket January 11 2011. Does that void my ticket?
Response: Unfortunately the area that you are in is not covered by our company. Being unfamiliar with the specific law and forms used in Edmonton, I can not provide you with specific assistance in this case. You may wish to seek out local legal representation to gain accurate information on the issue before deciding how to proceed.

Inquiry: My husband and I parked our car in what we thought was legal parking but I guess wasn’t. We parked our car at 6:00pm and when we returned to our car later that night we had a parking ticket for 115 dollars. However the officer wrote that the ticket was issued at 5:05pm which is impossible being that we didn’t park our car there till 6:00pm. Is there any way to fight such a ticket?
Response: You certainly can contest the ticket and the instructions for doing so should be provided on the parking ticket itself. Unfortunately, the cost of hiring a paralegal to fight the parking ticket on your behalf would be higher than the cost of the ticket itself. If would like to have us represent you in the matter, you can reach our staff via our toll-free number 1-866-801-8299.

Inquiry: I received a ticket for using a handheld communication device while driving. On the offence notice, the office wrote M in the space where you are supposed to indicate sex. I am clearly a female. Will this make any difference in my case if i choose the trial option?
Reponse: The incorrect gender on the ticket will likely not be an issue if the cases proceeds forward to trial, but we do need to be aware of these types of documentation errors. The charge does show as a conviction on your driving history if it goes to convication. The effect this has on your specific insurance rate will depend upon your personal demographic and driving history. The legal work involved in this type of case is generally quite low compared to cases such as collision-related offences. If you would like to speak with one of our staff regarding defending the charge at court, we can be reached via our toll-free number 1-866-801-8299.
