Hwy 403 Hamilton To Brantford - Got 131km/h In A 100km/h
I am a 53 year old female, respectable (innocent) looking, driving '03 Grand Am in good repair. I take this route each day to work and have noticed most days there is an OPP officer posted in the median fairly close to the Garden Ave. Exit. Today I was passing some slower moving vehicles as I went past the officer. Usually there are numerous drivers with me doing the same thing, but today there were no other vehicles, just me in the passing lane. When I was finished passing the other vehicles I moved safely into the right lane and commenced driving at the usual speed limit. The Officer began following me until he could flag me over at the Garden Ave. exit and give me my ticket. He stated that I was driving 131 in a 100 zone and there was no room for discussion. I supplied my documentation immediately and within 3 minutes he had my ticket ready, but when he gave it to me he mentioned about three times that I could go to court regarding this ticket.
I have never done anything wrong in my life and the thought of going to court is terrifying. But I'm afraid of how much my insurance will go up and am struggling financially already. I can't think why he didn't lower it by 2 km so at least it wouldn't have been quite as bad. Could he have been hinting that I could beat this if I go to Court or do they always say that?
At my wit's end....
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
