MVA 146 (1) Just dug up a 2 month old traffic ticket of mine that I had already delivered a notice of dispute for, I decided to take a look at what the offence actually was. Quote:
Link On Alderbridge Way where I was ticketed between garden city and no. 4 the speed limit is 60km/h, 146 (1) says you must not drive at a greater rate of 50km/h and nothing more, does this mean the offence is inaccurate? Google Street View Link The reason I decided to dispute this ticket was because I know for certain that I was not speeding at the time, when I was ticketed I was still in first gear and my car cuts off at 50km/h exactly in 1st gear, the officer also didn't radar me and was unable to tell me how fast I was going when he pulled me over. Regardless, I am just wondering about the wording of 146 (1) and the fact that the posted speed limit was above 50km/h |
That section you quoted is a default speed limit when there are no other signs posted. The posted sign is the speed you do. What clocked speed was indicated on the ticket? |

146 (1) doesn't say anything about posted speeds though which was why I was curious, the wording is poor, I know it is common sense but would that be a valid point to make? Is there another 146 (1) out there? lol |
Read the next subsection: Quote:

Sorry this is my first ticket and I don't know much about them, and the RS search bar doesn't really help me |
146 as a whole deals with speed limits in general. |

It's a very different offence compared to something like 146 (11), it just seems like when something is explicitly stated on the ticket it should be that offence explicitly, not in general, not sure if "in general" holds water in court Quote:
