49 Km/h Over & Fail To Surrender Permit Mv- First Offense
I was pulled over today on highway 401, for going 129km/h. I was passing a car and pulled back into the far left lane, but did not slow down fast enough. Just my luck, I was in a posted 80 km/h construction zone and the officer told me that I was going 129 km/h, making me 49km/h over the speed limit. I have never been pulled over, so when the officer was talking to me I majorly panicked. He asked for my paperwork and I had my license on me, but I had just switched over to a new wallet and forgot to put my ownership and insurance in it. So when he asked for my ownership, I told him that I had forgotten it in my wallet at home (which was true). He then came back from his cruiser and handed me 2 tickets. One for speeding 49km/h over the limit ($329) and the other for failure to surrender my permit ($110). He did not show me his notes or radar, nor did he mention anything about demerit points.
I am an emotional wreck, so this is definitely eating me up inside because I don't have the money to pay the tickets and I really do not want my insurance to go up.
If I take this to trial and present my proper documents (license, ownership, and insurance), what is the likely hood of the charge for the permit being dropped or reduced? Also, what are my chances with the speeding ticket?
Thank you.
