Q. What will happen if I just ignore this speeding ticket
and do nothing with it?
A. You will be convicted for failing to respond to the
ticket.
Q. Is it true that the police are now using a laser
device instead of radar to trap speeders?
A. Yes, laser is more expensive, but can target the
speeding vehicle better. However, there are many radar sets
still in service.
Q. Are police officers allowed to park in private driveways
to set up radar?
A. Yes, unless the property owner complains.
Q. Do the Canadian Charter rights apply to traffic offences.
A. Yes, the Supreme Court has ruled that traffic offenders
are entitled to Charter protection.
Q. How long do demerit
points stay on my record?
A. Two years. Click here to see how Demerit Points are
determined.
Q. What are my chances of successfully defending myself?
A. Our staff consist of extensively trained professionals,
who have complete knowledge of the operation of traffic
courts. If you defend yourself and lose, we will be there
to prepare an appeal for you, but the fees will be higher.
Q. I believe I am guilty. Can you still help me?
A. Yes, there may be a technical defence that you are
unaware of. If either the police officer, the prosecutor,
or the judge makes an error at your trial, you may very
well be successful. Your case may also be dismissed if there
are errors in the paperwork or if the police officer fails
to attend court.
Q. If the police officer fails to show up in court,
will you refund my money?
A. No, you are paying to reserve a time slot with one
of our agents.
Q. Can someone be sent to jail for traffic charges?
A. You could receive jail time, only if it is a part
3 charge. Part 3 tickets have no out-of-court cash settlement
on the face of the ticket.
Q. Do you fight impaired driving charges or other criminal
charges?
A. We did in the past, but we now refer them to an excellent
lawyer, who charges a moderate fee, and has an excellent
record.
Q. If I hire you to defend me, do I have to attend court?
A. Not necessarily, more than half the charges can
be resolved without the attendance of the defendant.
