Well-known member
Friends of mine got a letter where their car has been caught by Red light camera.

The letter is addressed to her (A.), because she is a vehicle owner. But she was away for last four month outside of Canada.

What should be done in that case?
 
1. Get the person who was driving to pay it.
2. Get the person who was driving to fight it.
3. Pay it.

(not an exhaustive list.)
 
Well, the thing is that him (B.) was driving (her husband). The fine is 325$ and they are not as rich.

What would be the way to fight the ticket/ or at least reduce the fine?

Her (A.) english is terrible. But if he (B.) will go to the court - he gonna loose it right away.

Well, the question is not that I would want to fight instead of them, I just wanted find out what are the chances in that case...
 
Fighting it might be next to impossible, depending on the pictures taken. I think they have more evidence than the photos if it comes to a trial.

I bet if they claimed poverty and offered to pay as little as $25 a month (13 months) it would be accepted.

ya. that sounds like a possible solution.
other question if they will be able to gain some time?

understamd me right: i do not accept running through the red light noway!
 
If this is anything like a speeding ticket, they can plead guilty with submissions and ask the JP to give them a payment plan or a lesser fine or both.
 
Be careful. If the driver is identified, there could be points attached to the ticket. Easier to just get the driver at the time to pay it rather than naming them or telling them to fight it.

Only reason there are no points on red light ticket camera is because the driver cannot be identified. But once you identify the rider, points may be involved. For two people being that close, it's not really an issue how it's paid.
 
Unless the car was reported stolen, at the time, they're pretty much hosed. In the vast majority of red light camera tickets they've got you, dead bang, in image. It doesn't matter whether you're the one who did it or not, as you're presumed to have given permission to drive your vehicle. They could take it to court and plead poverty, hoping for a reduction or payment schedule but, if they're that poorly off in the first place, can they afford a day off work? There's also no guarantee of having a favourable outcome in court.
 
Ok. I see...
What's about insurance? If the driver is not identified would the insurance rate grow for the car owner (her)?
That's my only concern...

the red light camera ticket does not affect neither your insurance nor your driving abstract; it's the equivalent of a parking ticket or a 407ETR bill, they will ultimately affect your license plate sticker renewal

even if you identified yourself as the driver during the trial, that still does not have any effect

her only choice is to appear at trial: the prosecutor will most likely suggest 50% off, or just make it your responsibility to beg for a reduction

she can get a reduced fine and request extra time to pay; she can even go as far as request to pay in instalments over a ______ period

This is correct - I spoke to Red Line and this is exactly what they told me

I am editing my previous post

Why do people always bring up points? As far as I'm aware the points don't mean squat unless you've got a ton of them in which case you probably shouldn't be driving anyway. Insurance only cares about charges and at-fault claims. Correct me if I'm wrong....

You are NOT wrong. Points are simply a method for the MTO to keep tabs on your driving behaviour so as to determine if you should keep your license or not.
 
That didn't teach me anything new. Yeah, you can lose your license if you get too many. But who actually gets 15 points? You would have to basically be intentionally causing accidents to get that high.

Three 20 over speeding tickets can get you a suspension if you either don't show, or 'fail' the interview. If you're a probationary license holder then you only have 9 points in total, and the same thing can happen to you at 6 points.
 
GF had a ticket.

And she fought it

She got to court, and supposedly these were all red light cam cases.

She watched everybody get dismissed and get the conviction thrown out because there was a quarter second problem with the cam (where it was taking the picture too early or something)
She avoided the 325 and demerit points.

Now, if you're lucky.... lol
 
Nah... :sad8:
I just said them to pay the ticket and be cateful next time. As far as that does nt affect insurance rate. Thanks everybody for discussion!

Yeah if they get stopped by the cop for a red light though its another story.

Red light/speed cams are basically milking cows
