Inquiry:  Hello, I received a speeding ticket in Ontario and upon review of the ticket I noticed that the license plate number on the ticket is not my license plate number. Does this void the ticket?

Response:  Unfortunately not.  However, we generally do want to be aware of such issues incase any leverage can by gained by them at Court.  For the vast majority of Speeding charges we can either have the charge reduced to a lesser offence, or where a grounds can be found, have the charge eliminated completely.  If you would like to review the specifics of your case, we offer a no cost initial review of cases via our toll-free number 1-866-801-8299.

Inquiry:  Hello, I was pulled over for speeding. The officer said I was doing 72km/h in a 50km/h zone. I was shocked as I was sure it was a 60km/h zone. The officer wrote me a ticket for 65km/h in a 50km/h zone. Later I checked the limit and it is clearly a 60km/h zone. Is this reason for dismissal of the charge?

Response:  Not necessarily.  Once the matter has been set for a trial date, we would be requesting disclosure of the Prosecutor’s evidence.  The contents of that disclosure package will have the specific information about where your vehicle was when the speed was measured.  To look at your case in more specific detail, we offer a no-cost initial review of cases via our toll-free number 1-866-801-8299.

Inquiry: Got a speeding ticket with no points, but under the offence section of the ticket the officer just wrote “speeding”, nothing else like 80km in a 60km zone, is this a fatal flaw that can have the ticket dismissed

Response: It may potentially be a fatal flaw and if so will need to be handled carefully. Some errrors on the face of an offence notice may be ammended at Court, others are not ammendable.

Inquiry:  hello. i was issued a speeding ticket on Friday February 16th. i was charged with doing 105 in a posted 90. The officer made a mistake on the licence plate number. my licence plate reads 3yp but on the ticket it is 3xp. i was wondering if i have a chance at fighting it. it also look like he put my last name in the wrong place but my drivers licence number is correct. any advise is appreciated.

Response:  The errors you describe will likely not be fatal errors to the Prosecutor’s case.  There may however be other issues that can be looked at in potentially having the charge eliminated.  I would recommend speaking with one of our staff via our toll-free number 1-866-801-8299 for a no-cost initial review of your matter.

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.

Subject speeding ticket can’t read license number clearly

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.
