144(18) - Alleged Rolling Stop On A Red Light.
I was pulled over and told I went through a red light during a right turn. I learned through a friend who is a police constable that the one who pulled me over is new to the job (under a year, and possibly even the first month or two of real duty).
I was given a ticket for $180. I have some questions:
(1) Is this offense automatically associated with 3 demerit points? I see no mention of them on the ticket, but is that understood for a 144(18) charge?
(2) I have been driving for over 10 years with a perfect record. How significantly will this affect my insurance rate?
(3) Do the demerit points stay on your record for three years after the ticket is written or three years after the date of conviction?
(4) Is it worthwhile to plead not-guilty or is there any technique that may be beneficial for me, perhaps utilizing the services of POINTTS?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
