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'm hoping somebody can point me in the right direction to track down various radar gun error codes.
