I follow the stop instruction , given by by my Haligonian Instructor 7 years ago.

'When stopping , ALWAYS feel the jerk ... if you do not , you did not stop'

Thank you everyone for their inputs. I can't afford legal fee at this time.This incident happened at Eglington ave east off ramp to ferrand dr stop signal post. I think I down the visor due to sun glare and that's why I could not pay the proper attention (all the way stop signal). I am sure it was very slow driving in that ramp. I have 15 days time to request trial option and I am preparing myself to represent the trial and don't know how long it takes to get out of the this ticket . In the worst case I have to pay $ 110 is that correct?

Thanks

Thats correct . Stop sign infraction is awarded with 3 points and 110 $ fine . Try to visit the court while there are other hearing going on . See if its meant for you to stand for yourself . I found it quite intimidating when faced the judge .

On the contrary I loved it when I faced the Judge even when the Judge discouraged me initially ... But when I brought out one by one prints of cases in my support where when the judgments from the judges had been overturned by superior court Judges , the JoP told the Prosecutor .

' I am staying this case . Have you seen the lengths this man has gone to '

I bet no para legal would have helped me to that extent and for two , like with everything , experience makes you feel more comfortable. ( I don't wish to but am sure AG would feel more comfortable next time around )

The Law actually gives the suspect every possible change to redeem himself if he can .

I think regardless you should fight the ticket. There are initial steps which you can do,

1. Ask for disclosure
2. Find out if the ticket has been filed within 7 days (if not you are free)

Once you do this , it is quite possible the officer does not turn up, the offence is reduced.

Please go through the below link on CD, I have written my story of fighting the speeding ticket

http://canadiandesi.com/read.php?TID=34470&page=1

I got the first ticket, that too "Disobey stop sign" one block from my home :-(. Oh boy its about time to get dent to my clean 20years driving record.
Well, i requested for early resolution and was given the date in march.
Recently i ended up booking tickets to india trip and totally forgot about this date.

Now, not sure if they give another date or loose my appeal and get conviction...

Btw, i have decided not to go to trial as i might have done rolling stopped which i generally do when no one is there at the intersection. (ofcourse now lesson learned).
and there is a chance that cops might have the video evidence if not body cameras.

Anways.. please share your experience of postponing the resolution date and under what grounds they do let me...
