Speeding information. SOS!
I am doing some research on the future ticket + fines i will have to pay for speeding.
I was going 113 on a 70 road, but the officer said that he followed me and i was going 113 on a 60 road as well. He turned on his lights and stopped me in the 70, but the car was towed because he claimed i exceeded 50 km in the 60 zone.
i have only a g2. what will happen to my license and how may i avoid getting it suspended? 
Re: Speeding information. SOS!
Get in touch with a paralegal. X-Copper is our website sponsor so I'd recommend talking to them first. They will be able to guide you through the process. This is the best way to avoid any further suspensions. However, to help them with the case, I'd recommend first re-visiting the area in which you were allegedly speeding.
When you re-visit the area, try to remember the details. See where this "60" zone is. Figure out where you first noticed the officer, how far he followed you, and where he stopped you. Take notes and observations, write down as much of your discussion with the officer as you can remember. The more information you have for the paralegal, the better. The paralegal will work on things like disclosure and preparation for trial.
The paralegal will try to work a couple of different angles, including stays, plea-bargains and winning at trial. Also keep your receipts for the towing and impound charges; in the event of conviction, some Justices have been asking to see them and have reduced the "minimum" fine accordingly. (Example: Driver paid about $600 in impound/towing fees, JP fined him $1400.) The Justice of the Peace may not do it, but some of them have been.
50-over is something that you really should have professional help with. While it is possible to get up to $10 000 in fines if convicted, that is very unlikely and in the event that you do get convicted, if you show remorse and that you've "learned" something, so to speak, they'll likely give you the minimum fine of $2000 or less. This offence carries 6 demerit points, so even if the Justice decides not to suspend your licence any further on the basis of the offence itself, MTO will suspend it because of too many points on your G2. Then, of course, there's the insurance premiums to worry about.
So, definitely get the paralegal on this one. That's your best option. Good luck with it.
So many avid drivers on here have a huge beef for "follow too close", "unsafe lane changes" and "inexperienced drivers (G1, G2)".
Yet those same people offer advice to these drivers to get off their tickets when they finally get caught.....that just doesn't make sense!
Hi all,
I'm new to this forum and this is my first post.
I got a hand-held device ticket on Thursday March 16. $490 and 3 demerit points. The officer was hiding on a street and I drove by him with my phone in my hand.
Was just wondering if it's worth fighting it?
Has anybody got their points…
I had a speeding ticket in May 2013 which brought me to 9 demerit points out of 15. I received a letter and had to attend an interview. Due to a history of speeding tickets and a previous interview a few years prior, the interviewer decided to put me on zero tolerance for a year. Meaning if I…
Around 3 months ago my friend told me that he thinks he ran Red Light on highway 7. ok his car was 1-2 meters away the Stop Line when the Light turned RED he then couldn't stop so he ran because Speed Limit on HWY7 is 80km/h and you all know none of drivers do under 80km/h they always at 83-85km/h,…
Today I was pulled over by a cop, and he told me that I was following to closely. There was no collision - I was following him, and I had kept enough distance (I would have atleast 1 car length or more) - when he turned on the lights and siren, I pulled over - this means that I was able to brake in…
Per the subject, I was stopped just over a week ago. I mentioned to the officer that I was going with traffic, and couldn't have been going over 125km. He mentioned that I was spotted by aircraft, and that he is just the messenger for aircraft patrol.
At this point, I have a 4 point ticket, $271…
I'm writing for myself this time.
This morning, I was on the WB 407 on my way to school. For about 15 km, I was following an OPP SUV in the left lane. The officer was generally driving between 120 and 125, and I made sure to keep a safe distance. Before I go any further, yes, I know I was speeding,…
Hi,
I was recently charged with a speeding ticket and driving with a suspended license. I was given the tickets on Feb 3rd and have since hired a paralegal. The paralegal asked when my court/summons date was. I cannot seem to find my tickets so I called the court and gave them my driver's license to…
Hi Everyone
How easy would it be to beat a ticket for "failing to provide proof of insurance" for the simple reason of a street name misspelling on my proof of insurance? The street is a woman's name, ending in ie, but the insurance slip was spelled with a y. In my mind this is not a failure to…
