I was fined over $400 for turning right into Rosedale (my neighbourhood) on October 13th after 3:30PM. They are trying to stop people from cutting through our area to Center Street and so this is the way the city deals with it. $400 also included the fine for not producing the correct insurance. The new insurance was on our dinning room table and was not yet in the car. I told the officer that I lived in the area and that I could almost see our house from where I was pulled over and that I could get the insurance off of the table if he could wait a moment. Instead he fined me $400.00. This is the second time I have been charged with turning right into our neighbourhood. Each time I fought it and each time I won. If you ever get a ticket appear in court and fight it !!! Here is the court house. I was in court for all of 30 minutes. Sorry about the dodgy photo but I could not get the iPhone to hold still. I might also mention that now when you go to court you have to go through a metal detetector and you have to put your items through an Xray machine. The woman was a real cow and was rude so I tried to make her laugh by saying “I hope I’m going somewhere warm”. Mission accomplished. She smiled.
All in all it was a great day. I even got my taxes done after 3 years. Molly waited for me in the car while I went in to have them done. I’m doing my own for 2007 as I now have Quicktax and it integrates nicely with Quickbooks Pro. Here is a pic of Molly. She was driving that day ;)
