Even better, do like the rest of us, don't get caught.

Oppose it. If it was filled in incorrectly, you're golden. You may have to appear in court though to make it official though. Originally Posted by Grayson M

They dont have to get you to sign the ticket, they just give it to you and laugh as they drive back to the donut shop. Also, having the wrong time on the ticket means nothing, if you fight it based on that alone, they will just correct it in court. Here is a link that might help you.

Not exactly. If he can prove that he was somewhere else during the incorrect time period in all probability the charge will be withdrawn. Originally Posted by Pipes

How many tickets do you need to get before you realize that maybe, just maybe, you should obey the rules of the road?

As per www.ontariotraffictickets.com:
Any ticket issued by a Police Officer has to be properly written
The legal term is that the ticket has to be “proper on its face” meaning no “fatal errors”. Proper on its face means that the ticket is correctly written by the officer, without any fatal errors that are not fixable or excusable by the courts.
Under the Ontario Provincial Offences Act minor mistakes can be corrected at court by the prosecution, but fatal errors cannot. For example, there maybe a mistake in the spelling of your name, or the licence plate or year of your car is wrong. This can be corrected on the trial date by the Justice of the Peace or prosecutor and is not a fatal error.
Fatal errors are mistakes that will get your ticket cancelled because they are not fixable by the prosecution.
A mistake like the officer not putting his name on a certificate of offence is considered a “Fatal Error” and upon application by the defendant or his agent the Justice of the Peace may “quash” or cancel the ticket.
If the ticket has a fatal error on it a motion has to be presented properly to the Justice of the Peace by way of a motion to the court.
Motions to the court have to be made out properly. The motion has to be presented to the Justice of the Peace detailing why the ticket is improper and explaining the fatal error. Only then would the Justice of the Peace consider an application to cancel or “quash” a ticket. Unless the defendant or his agent can present and argue the motion properly to the court a fatal error may not be considered.
This is why court representation needs to be done by a qualified person such as the former police officers of Ontario Traffic Tickets.
Although a speeding ticket may have a fatal mistake on it. It is crucial to know when to make a motion to quash, when and when not to file the ticket, and whether or not to “atourn” to the jurisdiction.
If you do not understand what meant by fatal errors, filing dates, set fines, and issues such as jurisdiction then you need help. There are at least ten items that have to be on the face of the ticket for it to be proper before the court.
You should always seek competent representation from the former traffic officers and agents of Ontario Traffic Tickets. We know all the fatal errors for a speeding ticket otherwise you risk being convicted whereupon your case could be won. Reply With Quote

I stand by what i said. An incorrect time of day will not be enough to have the ticket thrown out. Im speaking from personal experience. How many times have you been in a courtroom? It sounds like you're just repeating one of the many urban myths that are floating around. I challenge you to show me one case where a defendant won for no other reason than an incorrect time of day.

Meaning, many people speed, yet only few are caught. Originally Posted by sshe11

Same here, and the one speeding ticket I got was on a road I was unfamiliar with and I was caught up in conversation. I got sloppy! Originally Posted by FastFokker
