Driving 146 In A 80 Zone. Court Date Is 6 Months Away. Help Needed With Next Steps
Hi, So I was out for a drive last night to clear my head and was caught speeding at 146 on highway 6 near Caledonia which is an 80 zone. I deeply regret my actions and don't know what I was thinking. The officer pulled me over and said that he will have to impound my car and suspend my license for 7 days. However due to the courts being closed at this time, the court date I got is for October for a Summons.
What do I have to do next to get my license and car back? Do I have to pay a reinstatement fee at the Service Ontario? Ive seen a couple posts that said they didn't have to pay. My car got towed to Caledonia, which was about 3-5 km from where I was pulled over. How much will the towing and impound fee be approximately? Because my court date is in October, have I been convicted of anything yet? Will my insurance know about this until October? I ask because I want to know if I need to call my insurance company before picking up my car. Has any one had experience with the courts in Cayuga? How do the court hearings go?
I will reiterate, I made a mistake and do not think speeding is okay. I will be making sure that it doesn't happen again.
Any advice is appreciated and thank you all for the help
