Re: Speeding and failure to surrender driver's licence.. HEL
Thank you again for your reply.. I called the court and asked the clerk if I can withdraw one of the tickets I filed for trial option (failure to surrender licence) and change it to option #2 instead (meeting with prosecutor). The clerk told me if I received two tickets at the same time, I cannot file the two tickets with different options- I either have to choose trial option or meeting with prosecutor option for BOTH two tickets and cannot separate them. :shock: Is this true?? It doesn't really make any sense to me.. What I do with the tickets is entirely my choice, is it not? Where does it ...

Re: Speeding and failure to surrender driver's licence.. HEL
If I show the prosecutor my driver's licence, is there a high chance that the charge can be dropped? Not if you're going to trial on the speeding charge. There is no incentive for them to offer you a break if you plan on fighting one of the charges. The Crown will likely insist you accept a plea deal to both tickets (be it reduced fine or one charge withdrawn) or go to trial on both. Oh, so even though I file one ticket for 'trial' option and the other one for 'meeting with prosecutor' option, the prosecutor will find out that I filed one of my two tickets for trial? Is it because the prosecu...

Re: Speeding and failure to surrender driver's licence.. HEL
Under pressure from time constraints and people convincing me, I filed for trial option #3 for both tickets today..
But I changed my mind and I want to go with the 'early resolution- meeting with prosecutor option #2' for the "failure to surrender licence" ticket..
Can I go back to the court where I filed my tickets and ask the clerk that I want to change my option or is it too late?

Re: Speeding and failure to surrender driver's licence.. HEL
I am thinking of filing the speeding ticket for trial and bet my luck..
As for the "failure to surrender driver's licence" ticket, I'm thinking of trying option 2 on the back of the ticket- "early resolution meeting with prosecutor". If I show the prosecutor my driver's licence, is there a high chance that the charge can be dropped? Or will I just be offered a reduced charge or worse, none at all? Thanks.

Speeding and failure to surrender driver's licence.. HELP!!!
I was caught in a speed trap and was given two tickets- one is "failure to surrender driver's licence $110" because I forgot my wallet at my work office and the other one is "going 50km/h on 40km/h zone $40". It was one of those speed traps where two police officers were on duty together and they were using speed guns mounted on top of a tripod on the road. The officer claimed that I was going 54km/h but he said he would give me a "break". It was one of those roads where it dips a bit downhill and then goes uphill again (also a bridge overhead). The car that I was...
