Hey all, So i got a speeding ticket last week for going 137km/h on the 401 towards Windsor. I am a G2 driver. The officer did not reduce it on scene at all. I plan on fighting it, just a couple questions/issues. First of all and most importantly, I have my G test booked for dec and it expires in March/13. The 4 demerit points (which I will likely get reduced atleast to 3) would suspend my license for 30 days (4 in Ontario i believe for G2). Will I be able to get my G with a pending ticket that could potentially lead to a suspension (although it likely wont). In terms of fighting the ticket, even though i live far i am hesitant to choose to speak to a prosecutor over the phone since I think it would be much harder to make them budge. Now if i choose #2, is there any way I can say something like "i need date on a friday or monday" since I am a student? I'm a bit worried because if its on an exam day im screwed since failure to appear to speak to the prosecutor will result in the charge standing. Or should I be choosing #3? I've never had any tickets against me in the 5 years I have had my G2. If I am choosing #2 I can mail it next week since I still have 8 days. If #3 I can take it in in person next week as well, so that is not an issue. Thanks guys

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…
