35 Over And No License
Hi everyone,
On the morning of January 26th I was speeding like crazy.. but I feel like im in the right. I was on mayfield rd going west and past highway 410 and the speed was 80km. I kept going and then past heart lake road (an intersection) after the traffic light is 60 (supposdly) and then a km later was the opp officer waiting for me. He told me I was going 95 in a 60 zone... any defence at the fact that there was abscense of signs?? i find that its unfair that there was no 60 kmh sign for a good at least 1 km (almost 2)
I was shocked didnt even ask him to reduce it didnt ask him how he knew etc
So I guess based off the others ask for a trial and then when they send a letter in the mail saying my court date is XX/XX/XXXX then call up the caledon court office for disclsoure...Is this right?
I should also add when he asked for my license I gave it and he came back and said it was expired... I had no idea... I hope I dont get charged for it... The OPP officer said that if you go to service ontario right now and get it fixed you prob wont get charged for it.. So thats what I did and then some.. I went to serice ontario and got it renewed (it was only a month late), then I went on the website and saw a section of the website that says that they mail you reminders but I know for a fact I did not get it. I called drivers assistance 1800 number but they said they dont keep track of who they send it to and who they do not send it to and that sometimes we miss sending it to people... maybe I can use that as defence? I got the agent id who I spoke to his name and badge id.
I also set up email reminders so I dont make this mistake again.
At the end of the day the fine is the fine... the main thing im concerned about is the insurance.. so I got two tickets... does it matter the demerit points and all that? Or is insurance based on how many offenses you have in for example a year or 5 years.
Thanks guys
