144 Km/h In An 80 (hwy 6 In Guelph)
Hey guys,
I was driving to class and I got pulled over on hwy 6 just after I got off the 401. I was running late for class (I had a test) and the highway was dead empty so I was definitely going over the speed limit. The OPP officer was stationary on the grassy strip that separates the two sides of the highway and pulled me over as soon as I passed him. I was very surprised when he told me that his radar clocked me at 144 km/h but I got a ticket for "Race a Motor Vehicle - Excessive Speeding" regardless. Also got my car impounded and license suspended for 7 days. My first appearance in court is tomorrow, does anyone have any advice/tips for me? Assuming that I was going 144 km/h, will it help my case that I was on the "highway" and by myself (not zig zagging through traffic)?
Specific Information:
- Clocked going 64 km/h over the speed limit
- This is my first ever driving related offence
- I have my full G license
