Option 2 - Plead guilty with explanation
This option is available if you do not wish to dispute the charge but wish to explain circumstances relating to the amount of the fine or the time to pay.
You or your agent must attend in person at the Provincial Offences Court Office at 100 Constellation Crescent. Upon arrival, you must register your name with our counter staff. Staff will instruct you accordingly after you sign in. Please check the back of your ticket or call the Provincial Offences Court Office to confirm times available for this option.
A Justice of the Peace will read the charge to the defendant/agent and register a conviction. The defendant’s submissions can only result in a possible reduction in the fine or an extension of time to pay. The conviction is registered with the Ministry of Transportation and demerit points are registered accordingly.

Option 3 - Trial option
You or your agent must attend one of the Provincial Offences Court Offices within hours of operation, to file a Notice of Intention to Appear in court. You or your agent must bring your ticket with you. Filing a Notice of Intention must be done in person; you cannot do this by mail.
For certain infractions, you may be asked if you wish to schedule a meeting with a prosecutor before a trial date is set in order to attempt to resolve the matter outside of court.
