If you have recently received a traffic ticket, you may be feeling frustrated and unsure of how to fight it. Fortunately, there are steps you can take to potentially contest the ticket and avoid paying the fines. The video below provides three useful tips on how to approach this situation and give yourself a better chance of successfully fighting the ticket.

Careless driving tickets are usually issued when there has been an accident and people are often charged without the police knowing all the facts. This ticket can be costly in terms of fines, increased insurance premiums, demerits, and ancillary lawsuits.

The act of driving a vehicle at a speed that exceeds the posted speed limit or the speed that is safe and reasonable for the conditions. Speed is often captured by a radar device which must be properly maintained and used by an operator. We ensure this is done.

A type of traffic accident in which the driver of a vehicle collides with another vehicle, pedestrian, or property and then leaves the scene of the accident without stopping to provide identification or assistance. Like careless driving, hit and run offences are financially costly and significantly increase your demerit count.

Traffic violations that are committed by drivers of commercial vehicles, such as buses, trucks, and delivery vehicles. These violations can include speeding, reckless driving, and failing to follow traffic laws. Commercial drivers are held to a higher standard of safety due to the size and weight of their vehicles, and they may face stricter penalties for traffic violations.

 Refers to the act of operating a vehicle while engaging in activities that take a driver's attention away from the road. This can include activities such as texting, talking on the phone, eating, or applying makeup. Distracted driving can increase the risk of accidents and injuries, and it is often punished with fines and points on a driver's license.

A traffic violation that occurs when a driver fails to stop at a stop sign or traffic signal, or when they fail to yield to pedestrians or other vehicles as required by law. This can be a dangerous offense, as it can lead to accidents and injuries. In many jurisdictions, failure to stop is punished with fines and points on a driver's license.

That depends on the reason why the officer didn’t show. If the Crown failed to subpoena the officer then they are guilty of laches (negligence) and the charge should be dismissed. If the officer cannot attend for genuine illness or other emergency, then a new date may be scheduled.
