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 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 recieved a ticket for going 30 over in a 80 zone and wondered being the postal code is wrong is there anything i can do? or be able to fight it? or there no chance in fighting so i just have to pay it? please let me know thanks

Response:  Unfortunately the postal code issue will have no bearing on the outcome of the case.  At 30 km/h over the speed limit, your charge falls into the second-highest possible category of speeding offence.  Usually a 30km/h over the speed limit charge can at least be reduced down to the next lower range of speeding offence, and in some cases a grounds may exist to have the charge eliminated outright.  To review your case in more detail, I would recommend speaking with one of our staff via our toll-free number 1-866-801-8299, we offer a free initial review of cases.

Inquiry: My wife was caught speeding in Mississauga on Kennedy Rd. The ticket states the following: Highway 407 and Kennedy Road City of Brampron—— Is this a fatal error? She was in Mississauga so was the speed trap and he does’t give much other info as to direction of which st she was on + Wrong city.

Response:  It is unlikely that will be a fatal error in the case against your wife, although it is information that we generally do want to be made aware of when contesting a charge at Court.   While the error on the ticket may not be a fatal error in this matter, she may well have other defences against the charge, or the charge may at least be negotiable down to a lesser offence to save her penalties with the MTO and insurance.  We offer a no-cost initial consultation with clients via our toll-free number 1-866-801-8299.

Inquiry: I was given a ticket for doing 74km in a 50km zone. But the officer put the wrong Date of Birth down. Does this void the ticket? Or could it be argued out at court?

Response:  The incorrect DOB does not invalidate the ticket.  The charge is a 3 demerit point offence.  It is likely that we could however have the charge reduced to a lesser 0 demerit point offence, or possibly find an alternate grounds to have the charge eliminated outright.  I would recommend speaking to one of our staff in more detail about your case.  We offer a no-cost initial consultation with clients via our toll-free number 1-866-801-8299.

Inquiry:  I got a speeding ticket in Northern Ontario – as per ticket – it says “speeding 111 km/h in 70 km/h zone.  The police officer forgot to write down the time of infraction on the ticket.  Is that helpful in fighting the ticket in court ?   The ticket was issued at 8:30 pm at night and I missed the sign for the speed limit changing down to 70.   Thanks.

Reponse:  The dating issue may or may not be a grounds to have the charge dismissed.  i would recommend speaking with one of our staff directly via our toll-free number 1-866-801-8299.  Your charge at 41 km/h over the speed limit puts you in the higher-end of the second highest range of speeding offence.  If a grounds can not be found to have the charge thrown out, it may be possible to at least have the charge reduced to a lesser offence to protect your insurance and driving record.
