Toronto Traffic Ticket
Take Action.  The Process.
What to do after your pulled over?

 

 

 

 

>> CONSIDER YOUR OPTIONS:  Essentially, you have three options. Three of which both have their pro's and con's.  Ultimately, its your choice.  This page is designed to inform you of the actual 'cost' of your ticket, not just the 'amount due' portion.

When an officer issues you a ticket, he is essentially 'telling the authority on you'.  Just like back in your child hood, a sibling or a friend tells your mom you've behaved inappropriately.  Once hearing both sides of the story, the power lies with your mom to punish you or not.  You might have had special reasons for your actions, and after all, your mom knows best.

That's exactly what an officer is doing, being the witness and reporting you.   You are always innocent until proven guilty.  In this case, the Judge plays the role you mom used to play.   Deciding to pay the ticket is equivalent to agreeing to all the accusations and accepting the pre-defined punishments blind folded, without anyone hearing you out.  Do you really want that?  Even if your guilty of the crime, you really might not deserve the pre-defined punishment.  Why not explain your situation to the judge and let him decide? 

OPTION 1: TAKE TO TRIAL

It's because of option 1 we're in business.  To help represent you in trial.  Not everyone knows the procedures, the protocols and have the ability to challenge the prosecutors.  We take your side, put together a case and present it to the Judge. 

OPTION 2: GUILTY

This is the option where you agree to everything and pay your fine.  Your conviction remains in the Ministry of Transportation database for 3 three years, or if it's an accident it's recorded for 6 years.  Demerit points remain on your account for 2 years.  The ministry constantly sends this information to insurance companies where your premiums and policies are determined.

OPTION 3: GUILTY WITH AN EXPLANATION

Traffic offences are the only offences that have this option.  This option is for people  who like to avoid court, feel that their guilty, but like to explain why they did what they did, in an attempt to receive some reduction.  There is no chance for your conviction to be dropped, and your reason must be pretty convincing to receive a significant reduction.
