How To Proceed? Speeding On Kw Hwy 7/8 Expressway:126 In 90
Hello folks!
I was nabbed doing 126km on a 90kph divided highway. The OPP officer did not knock it down at all.
My question is how to proceed in trying to get the charges knocked down?
I see I have two options: Plea of Guilty and request submission to my penalty OR Trial Option...
My defence is that I was approaching my exit (I was 2 kms away) and was in the fast lane (it's a two lane highway). There were a number of slower moving trucks and cars in the slow lane. I could not squeeze in between them so I made the decision to speed up to get around them (slowing in the fastlane was not a safe option as there was traffic approaching behind me). After speeding up, there was the cruiser waiting before my exit.
What strategy is recommended to plead my case? I don't expect miracles but would like to attempt to have the charge lessened.
Any pros and cons with either option is appreciated!
Thanks!
Fergie
