Hi there, I have been reading the forum and learned some interesting information about speeding, traffic tickets, points, insurance, etc. and thought I through out my situation and see if anyone could offer me some advice/ I was returning home from Sauble Beach when i decided to pass some cars in the dedicated 2km passing zone of of highway 10 in Chatsworth (just outside Owen Sound) unfortunately when you come to a passing zone people who were driving 80 along the single lane highway all speed up to 90 to 100 while going through dedicated passing zones. either way when I pulled out to pass got clocked doing 114 km in and 80km zone as there was speeding trap at the end of the passing zone of course you don't see until you just come over the hill. It's a $259 ticket and four points, this is my first ticket after driving for 15 years. anyways, it is a 3 hour drive to go to court and fight it is it worth it? from my reading, it my understanding I can go to my local Mississauga provincial office to plead not guilty and request a trial. Is that Correct?? also, should i try to plead bargain just to get my ticket reduced can i do that at my local Mississauga provincial office or do i have to go to the Owen Sound location indicated on the back of the ticket ?? Thanks for your help one expensive day at the beach!

Motions can be filed in Mississauga, such as filing the ticket, but to fully fight the ticket you'll have to go to Owen Sound, for trial.

thanks for the reply.....I guess i will head of to the local office today and start the process. As much as i think i will take this ticket to court. I really don't think i have any chance unless the officer doesn't show up......and being in Owen Sound more and likely he will

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…
