no wonder and I ran here)

Insurance and Status

The officer wrote the ticket three.

The Court held in March - through an interpreter.

Disclosure request made. But suppose there all right.

As far as I understand - will increase insurance + very fine penalty ...

Points record ... this is very knock down. We'll have to abandon the car

which and so hardly contains - and without in any way in Canada.

The question is: Please write what that strategy is simple in court - but

WHAT SAY IN COURT TO INCREASE CHANCES FOR SUCCESS. If the officer did everything right and there is no a violation on his part.

First, welcome to Canada! I hope that settling in has gone smoothly for you.

It sounds like you have been charged with Speeding 60 km/h in a 40 km/h zone. If so, the offence is a 3 demerit point offence.

Unfortunately, no way can tell you what to say at court to win. However, I can provide a brief overview of what I would do were I representing on a similar case. The first step would be to file for and review a disclosure of the Prosecutor's evidence. Generally these disclosures are short and simple. Most legal defects stand out to a knowledgeable eye. If no legal argument exists to have the offence withdrawn. Then the decision has to be made either to proceed to trial or to negotiate for a 15 km/h over the speed limit lesser offence for 0 demerit points.

Thank you!

what is the best way to negotiate if no legal arguments exist -

Please give a few ideas - a 1-2 sentence which may help in negotiation from your experience .

THANK YOU!!

Not being retained by you and not having reviewed disclosure or spoken with you directly, I can not direct you on what to do or say at court on your own behalf.

In general, if I had a client charged a 20 km/h over the posted speed limit and there were no legal arguments to have the charge withdrawn, then negotiating to a lesser offence at 15 km/h over the posted speed limit would generally be the best possible resolution. The lesser offence would carry 0 demerit points and a smaller fine.

1) I got my disclosure on hand before 12 days to trial - less then 2 weeks. Its not enough time to prepare the defense . To request an adjournment - should I make in on the date of trial ? Or any day Before the trial?

if any day before - should I call to their office and arrange the meeting? or If you mean on the date of trial - if the time of trial is 9:00 when will this "meeting with the prosecutor before the trial" be?

2) Do I have a chance to - get another trial with a representative (paralegal) if the results of first attempts wont satisfy me? What mechanism exist - to to that?

3) If I have my ticket for Driving with G1 with no full G driver near by. (I have 20 years of driving experience in other country - now I have Canadian G2 [was waiting 2,5 months in the line to pass the Drive Test ... that is the reason ] ) -

is there a risk of SUSPENSION by this Ticket? And affect to insurance cost for the next 5 years at least ?

Do I have a chance to avoid it - please give a recommendation.
