🚦 Early Resolution vs. Trial: Which Road Protects Your Licence?
Staring at a traffic ticket and the clock’s ticking? Here’s the quick guide:
🤝EARLY RESOLUTION MEETING (Option 2) – Choose it when:
📌 Evidence looks airtight and you want to soften the blow - smaller fine, fewer points, extra time to pay.
📌 Speed and certainty matter more than a slim shot at dismissal.
📌 It’s a first offence or minor HTA infraction.
📌 You’re ready to plead guilty and just need the best deal.
⚖️TRIAL (Option 3) – Choose it when:
📌 You need a real chance at dismissal—faulty radar, officer error, or Charter delay.
📌 A spotless record is mission-critical (commercial licence, insurance risk, potential suspension).
📌 You see holes in disclosure - missing calibration, vague notes, conflicting witnesses.
📌 High-stakes charge: stunt driving, high-speed, collision, CVOR points.
📌 You’re willing to invest time and money to fight—or leverage Charter delay if the court’s backlogged.
‼️Bottom line:
✔️ Go Early Resolution to cap damage quickly when the Crown’s case is solid.
✔️ Go Trial for dismissal potential when weaknesses exist or your record must stay clean.
