Hi, I need your help. I was driving today and I was stopped for driving 73 in 50 km/hr zone. He asked for my driving license and insurance slip and he only took my driving license. he came back with the ticket and the speed was as is. I want to choose option 3, but really want to know what I can achieve with it. - The fact he only took my driving license without the insurance slip, does it make him at fault at all, like he didn't do his due diligence by checking my insurance validity? - On the ticket he only wrote the plate number with no details of the car, model, color, etc. Do I have a point he missed some details? - There was another car the same model and color, is there a slim chance they believe me he might have been confused between the 2? - I didn't see my actual speed on the radar so I took his word. is this a point that can help me? Who says what said was right? In general, what excuses can people come up with to argue? What chances they sand other than the cop won't show up?
Hi,
I need your help.
I was driving today and I was stopped for driving 73 in 50 km/hr zone. He asked for my driving license and insurance slip and he only took my driving license. he came back with the ticket and the speed was as is.
I want to choose option 3, but really want to know what I can achieve with it.
- The fact he only took my driving license without the insurance slip, does it make him at fault at all, like he didn't do his due diligence by checking my insurance validity?
- On the ticket he only wrote the plate number with no details of the car, model, color, etc. Do I have a point he missed some details?
- There was another car the same model and color, is there a slim chance they believe me he might have been confused between the 2?
- I didn't see my actual speed on the radar so I took his word. is this a point that can help me? Who says what said was right?
In general, what excuses can people come up with to argue? What chances they sand other than the cop won't show up?
I want to choose option 3, but really want to know what I can achieve with it. A resolution most likely. - The fact he only took my driving license without the insurance slip, does it make him at fault at all, like he didn't do his due diligence by checking my insurance validity? Not at all. - On the ticket he only wrote the plate number with no details of the car, model, color, etc. Do I have a point he missed some details? That's all that's required on the current form of the PON. The old version used to have Make and year of validation. - There was another car the same model and color, is there a slim chance they believe me he might have been confused between the 2? Request disclosure and see what he has to say. Does he mention the other vehicle at all? That will give you an idea of the certainty with which he will testify on the stand, but be wary of the "other car" defence. Usually officers are pretty certain, especially if they are using a laser, which has a scope for targeting a specific vehicle. - I didn't see my actual speed on the radar so I took his word. is this a point that can help me? Who says what said was right? Most likely the Judge will say that he was right. The officer is not required to show you the radar. There's a blog post on my site which discusses this issue at length. In general, what excuses can people come up with to argue? That's what this whole site is about :) What chances they sand other than the cop won't show up? Blog post on my site about that issue as well.

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…
what to do about a an illegal right turn onto steeles from staines rd

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…
