Information related to traffic tickets and traffic court.
Question: I will be bringing a witness to traffic court who was in my vehicle at the time I received the ticket. Do I need to inform the court ahead of time of this or is it something I would do when the case starts?
Have you ever wondered how our penalty point system came to be? This document from the European community examines the penalty point system in European countries and recommends best practices to implement an effective system.
I was ticketed for speeding and contested the ticket. I recieved my trial date notice and wasn't able to make that date. I then applied to change the date and was approved. After that, the ticketing officer called (my wife answered) and wanted to change the new date. He said he would call back as he needed to speak with me, but I never heard from him.
I recently received ticket for disobeying a traffic control device. No accident resulted and this is my first ticket. On the face of the ticket the officer stated Sec. 161 of the MVA, but did not specify the subsection. Would this be grounds to have the ticket dismissed?
I received a Violation Ticket (Speed in Playground Zone) about a year ago and will be disputing it at some point... (I still have not received my court date)
I just moved here from Manitoba and have already got my first BC speeding ticket! I was on my motorcycle on the Trans Canada in the construction zones. I was riding behind another motorbike at about 7 car lengths behind him when we passed the cop.
Question: I approached a 4 way stop sign, and I know without a shadow of a doubt that I stopped. I waited and proceeded straight through the intersection as there were no cars approaching the intersection from any direction. This happened about 10 pm at night, at an intersection about 3 blocks from my home, so it is an intersection I am very familiar with.
A few days ago an off duty police member from another town reported a family member as allegedly committing two traffic infractions. A constable from our local RCMP has attended our home twice to try to serve this family member with the traffic tickets, but has (honestly) come when this family member was at work.
Mr. Soriano was convicted of speeding and fined $138 on April 6, 2010. He subsequently appealed his conviction to the Supreme Court of BC claiming that the verdict was unreasonable because he was not exceeding the speed limit. There was a miscarriage of justice because his hearing was not fair. The Justice showed an attitude toward him that offended and intimidated him.
I have a question regarding driving violation 214.1(1) prohibiting cell phone usage while driving. I recently was pulled over by an RCMP officer and when I asked what was wrong he said that I had been using my cell phone while driving. I tried to respectively deny this as I had not been using my phone.
