Information related to traffic tickets and traffic court.
I've recently attended traffic court for a speeding in a municipality charge. When I arrived the officer greeted me in the hallway outside the courtroom and invited me into a small meeting room. He then asked me what my intentions were, and after a quick run down of the possible options, I replied that I was here to plead not guilty.
Question: I received a traffic ticket in July 2012. I disputed the ticket. After reading articles on this site I decided to write to the officer requesting disclosure to prepare for traffic court. I pulled out the ticket and discovered that the officer did not sign the ticket. I've read posts on this site indicating that this renders the ticket invalid.
Question: I received a traffic ticket for not having entries for the previous two weeks in my log book. I explained to the officer that I did not normally drive trucks that required me to keep a log book and he wrote me the ticket anyway. I submitted the form for my dispute and then forgot all about it. A collection agency is chasing me for the fine now. What should I do?
New Bill 52, to amend traffic court, is this proposed change scaring the crap out of anyone else? It looks the BC Government is further eroding any illusion that drivers of this province have any rights at all.
I recently received a ticket for driving without insurance. At the time I had a passenger in my vehicle with me. I produced expired insurance papers to the officer and was given a ticket. I then had to have my car towed home.
I'm disputing a ticket issued for a 144(1)(c), Speed relative to road conditions, and I'm wondering what is admissable as a legal defence for the violation.
Question: If I am the driver of a motor vehicle and I have an adult passenger who refuses to wear their seatbelt and I drive them somewhere in my vehicle who will receive the ticket? What happens if that person has no valid drivers license and has no formal ID??
My husband was driving a rental car in BC. We got a driving without consideration traffic ticket and lost it. We don't know our rental car plate number or have much info to go on. Who/where do we contact to pay and get a copy of our ticket?
West Vancouver, Highway 1, going East. Speed limit is 90. Snowboarders in a van with WA plates zip ahead pushing 140 going back home. Following the van I catch myself going pretty fast and slow down. A couple of seconds after that I see a patrol car with lights on in hot pursuit behind me. I though he was after the WA van, but he pulled me over instead... I had my wife, a baby and mother-in-law in the car.
How long after conviction do speeding penalty points stay on driver's record?
