We've had some history with the police in my town..

We have a steady police presence of 5 - 10 officers in the town at any given time.
Long story short I exercised my right to not talk to the police (I watch them beat the *EDIT* outta my brother and a…
Just wondering what you guys think of those HOV lanes.
Sure these lanes are faster then usual but i think they present a ton of problems, now the first thing i want to clear up is often we say speed is dangerous. Okay i can believe that depending on the context and situation its used in. But i think…
I heard somewhere that flashing your lights (i.e. clicking your high beams on and off) to warm drivers in the opposite direction of a speed trap is a violation of the highway traffic act.
Is this true ?
I was watching motoring 200X and they spoke about this, and accorinding to them, it is NOT illegal…
Mid July 2012 I was hit at 6pm by a drunk driver. That's when my hubby decided to tell me that he didn't take care of the insurance as he was supposed to. So, I got charged with driving without insurance. Car is in my name.
Inuries were minor - all of us had aches/pains, hubby had seatbelt burn…

Just wondering what this incident means...........
My wife got caught not making a full stop - no contest.
However, also got a "ticket" for failure to surrender card - but she did but it was expired.
She found the good card after that mistake and gave it to the officer.
However she still got a "ticket"…
I got a speeding ticket doing 75 in a 50 zone. There where vehicles all around my vehicle doing about the same speed. The road was 2 lanes in one direction and 2 lanes in the other direction. There was a vehicle beside mine, another behind that vehicle and a vehicle behind me, all moving above the…
Hi all,
Unfortunately I got a "Disobey Sign" ticket tonight in this weather for turning left at a no left turn intersection (Greenwood turning left onto O'Connor) and my question is if it is possible to fight this ticket successfully due to a variety of reasons.
First of all, since visibility was…
90 km/hr in a 60km/hr zone..Court Date Tomorrow
Any help appreciated!! Court Date Tomorrow Afternoon.
1) Officer didn't reduce the ticket at all.
2) I've selected option 2 - Early Resolution - Meet With a Prosecutor
My goal is to simply negotiate the charge to a lower offence.
My question:
Am I better off trying to negotiate the charge down to 75/km/hr in a 60km zone.....OR
Negotiate disobeyed legal sign charge?
I'm thinking the 15km/hr over being there is no demerit points and considered minor conviction?
Advice please...all I can get.
Re: 90 km/hr in a 60km/hr zone..Court Date Tomorrow
well your ticket is a minor offense either way. negotiate based off fine amount not demerits (unless you have so many tickets your license will be suspended).
Re: 90 km/hr in a 60km/hr zone..Court Date Tomorrow
My current record is clean with no demerit points.

- It's not a garage sale. You can pretty much take what they offer you or you can continue on with a trial.
- They are not going to offer you a completely unrelated charge when there's still room to reduce your speed.
- You'll likely be offered 15km over.

As already pointed out, you're only saving on the fine amount. If your record is clean of points, saving yourself from them isn't going to be a big achievement. Insurance doesn't use or care about points. They only care that you were convicted, points or no points.
Whether your insurance considers 30km over anything other than a minor offense is up to your provider. In most cases, you'll see no difference in 30km over versus 15km. You'll be treated pretty much the same.

Ok thanks guys. Will let you know what happened later.
