Speeding Ticket Missing the date, Valid or Invalid???

[andylo888]

Hi, all

I just got my ticket tonight and when I check it out at home, just found that the "dd" in the date field is missing... Wondering if I could dispute this ticket because of this. Looking for some advice form you guys.
Thanks.

You can try but I've been told that the judges now allow some leaway for human error. This is coming from a company, "Points", of ex-cops running a business fighting tickets.

Might be worth fighting if you can afford the time to sit in court.

Is there some day in the month of June that the speed you were going at would NOT have been deemed speeding? If not, I wonder what you think your case is.

173? How fast were you going to get that? My bro got one in Ontario for 14 over or something and it was 25 bucks.

My guess is 95 in a 60

Hmm... I'd say 140 on a highway.

Well, in Ontario, if you're doing 40km/h over, the cost is $7 per km/h over the limit. So 140km/h on a 100km/h road will cost ya $280.

Don't ask how I know this.

Ok, then 125.
but seriously, who gets pulled over for doing 125?

yah, at 125, you get pulled over for impeding traffic.

btw, I know in Ontario, your ticket is thrown out.

To be convicted of speeding, you need:
Date, Time
Location
to be in a motorized vehicle
to be on a public road with an indicated speed limit
(anything else I forget?)

The ticket doesn't say the exact date, it's not a prima facie case and all you have to do is tell the judge and you're home free. LUCKY KID!

your ticket is not valid. Consider yourself lucky. I got a speeding ticket at 8:15 am and the officer put down 8:15 pm, i took it to the courts to set a trial date immediately and had them stamp the time I was there to set up a trial on the ticket. So the trial was setup at 9:46 am and the ticket was officially issued to me at 8:15 pm, which was not possible and thus the ticket was thrown out. There is no leaway from judges for human error (officer or driver), because if there was, that would have been my defence as to why I was speeding in the first place.

Was it an 80km/h zone?

lucky! officer screwed up on my car description in BC but the judge said he wouldn't throw it out... i want to live in ontario! LOL

The date is very important. It is not just a simple human error but a big one. For example, you would be taken away the chance of proving you were not even driving on that day. I think the judge will throw the charge away in heart beat.

If I were you, I will make photo copy of that ticket just in case you need to hand that to the clerk or something and somebody happens to add the data back to it. I forget the procedure.

Go to court and the judge will throw it out. No date=no fine.

[ginabobolee]

that' right
no date no fine

:wink:
