OK I'll be honest---I need some help. I have a ticket for 28 over and 3 points from January. I got my first court date for this Thursday (April 28th). I put it off and now all of a sudden it's here and I'm stressed because I've never been through something like this. I requested disclosure a few months back, which I got. Nothing out of the normal. I will be honest, it's a legit ticket. I just got caught going too fast down a hill. I just want to get it reduced or lose the points and get it over with. If someone could give me a crash course on what to do, what not to do, what to expect, a quick overview of how it works, etc. I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

If you think your chances of being found not guilty at trial are slim, see if the Crown will offer you a deal. It's probably too close to your trial date for any kind of first attendance meeting, but you can still talk to the Crown prosecutor on the day of your trial. Quite often if you agree to plead guilty, they will let you do so to a reduced speed. Don't know if they'll knock down a 28 to 15 over (which is what you need for no points) but could help with the fine.

I got a speeding ticket on the 401 by Cornwall. The officer said I was going 140 initially then dropped it to 130 (for the record I don't believe for a second I was going 140, that's way faster than I would ever intentionally drive). I filled out the info on the back of the notice to request a…
I was recently charged with stunt driving on a 60kmh road. When I was pulled over, the officer told me I was going almost 100kmh (still 40kmh above the limit) but was charging me for stunt driving because I accelerated quickly from an intersection on an empty road (in a straight line). I know…

Are any non-domestic vehicles "pursuit-rated" in North America? Also have the Michigan State Police (this is relevant because apparently they have the most accepted selection/testing process) tested any of them to see if they meet their criteria? Just curious...
Ottawa, Canada (AHN) - Beginning Tuesday, or April Fool's Day 2008, fines on Quebec drivers caught overspeeding will be doubled. It is not only the money penalty that will go up, but also demerit points.
The new law, Bill 42, is similar to Ontario's street racing rule. It stipulates fines for…
A friend got a ticket Jan. 9th of this year for doing 110 kph in a 90 kph zone, so 20 over.
What should the set fine and total payable read?
It's confusing to me, as the prescribed fine under HTA s.128 is different than the set fine enumerated by the Chief Justice of the Ontario Court of Justice.
An OPP officer ticketed me claiming I was going 40km/h over the limit (140km/km) on my way home with a few friends on the 401. This is my first ever speeding offense. Although I am sure I was over the limit, I am almost certain that I was not going 40 over, more realistically closer to 30 over. The…
Yesterday night I was charged for stunt driving (excess over 50km/h) and I have a few inquiries. I'm sure you've all heard the same story, but the unmarked cop in an SUV was tailing me for a good 2-3 minutes as I was travelling 120~135 km/h. Then as he came close I decided to boot it up…
I had a speeding ticket in May 2013 which brought me to 9 demerit points out of 15. I received a letter and had to attend an interview. Due to a history of speeding tickets and a previous interview a few years prior, the interviewer decided to put me on zero tolerance for a year. Meaning if I…
