Ticket Going 45 Over - Instead Of 15
I got a ticket a few months back in Toronto coming off of the Gardiner [90km limit] onto Lakeshore [60km limit] in the Beaches near the DVP split. The officer was on a sidestreet and I'm SURE he clocked me going 105 kms/hr when I was still on the offramp (which is still 90km limit).
He gave me the ticket and didn't set a COURT DATE or summons . He said he would reduce it but he didn't want to because I could just go into the court to reduce it there.
I decided to plead NOT GUILTY as even though I agree I was going 15kms over (going too fast on the off ramp), I wasn't doing it in the 60 zone.
Questions:
1. Shouldn't 45 over automatically require a court date set? And doesn't the fact that the officer did not set it point to the fact that he didn't think it was valid?
2. Is it a good idea if I take a picture from the street he was on showing the visibility of the ramp to show the court when I go fight my ticket - or is picture taking like this usually futile?
