I hope I can paint the picture with the accuracy that the truth deserves. I have no intention of just beating a ticket.. but more like beating a really unfair ticket. You decide! I had entered Canada after a short trip downsouth through Detroit on my way to Toronto. Not being equipped with a GPS unit I had to rely on the printable poorman's version from Mapquest. I followed Huron Church Rd., looking for the entrance to the EC Row Hwy., and after driving for about 10 hours and being a little distracted, wondering how I would convert the MPH to KM/H my directions were printed in, I missed the entrance. :oops: I proceeded to the first set of lights and not daring to get lost by veering off too far from the directions given, I pulled a u-turn (perhaps illegally). Heading to the on-ramp that would get me home I felt an air of relief and threatened my wife with losing navigation duties if she made me miss another turn (how cruel, I know). :x As I started exiting the curve of the on-ramp I accelerated in anticipation of entering the highway at the end of the acceleration lane. There was a black car seemingly disabled on the right shoulder just before the thick broken white lines started. It was at this point that I noticed in passing that it was an unmarked police vehicle, and I was being gunned/radared (not sure of the correct term) from an officer standing in the middle of the highway. Being Mr. Heavyfoot, I eased off the gas looking at my speedometer, relaxing my now tensed foot hovering over the brake pedal in the peace that I was not speeding (100km/h) above highway entrance speed. 8) But my peace was instantly shattered as I noticed the movement of the formally dead cruiser, just as I entered the motorway. I noticed there were a few cops cars congregated in this one area and I knew that it was a speed trap. The poor fellow I passed with a marked vehicle behind him was about to be joined in that embarrassing position as the unmarked cruiser turned on all his cherries and pulled me over. It during this pull over that I noticed the highway was under construction and the temporary speed limit was 70 km/h. I was sure he wasnt pulling me over for this violation because I was just entering the highway without any way of knowing the speed limit… but… I was wrong. I was being ticketed for doing exactly 101km/h in a 70. I tried (with an obvious air of frustration) to get an explanation as to how I could be pulled over for accelerating to normal highways speeds without any signage stating a lowered speed limit on the on-ramp. This only infuriated the officer who seemed to already be upset and in no mood for conversation. He asked for the normal identification and paperwork, at which time I let him know that I was driving a rental and everything would be in order. But to my relentless questions as to the validity and explanation for my being pulled over, I excited a desire in the officer to see if he could get me on street racing charges, by checking the on-ramp for any posted speed signs. This he did by asking a fellow officer on a motorcycle to go back and check for any signs, just before he walked away with my paperwork and my last ounce of respect. :evil: Luckily, God had my wife with me in the car, who calmed me down with an assurance that I hadnt done anything wrong and that I might not even be ticketed (I sometimes wish I was that na¯ve). I told her the normal proceedings for an officer with this big of a chip on his shoulders would be to return and quickly inform me that all the information I needed was on the back of the ticket and to slow down next time ( I swear I must be psychic sometimes). He returned and made my explanation to my wife of how things happen turn to a prophecy which my wife was astonished could be done by a man in uniform (again ignorance is bliss). It wasnt until I looked at the ticket here in Toronto that I noticed he gave me two tickets; one for speeding 31 km over, and the other for not producing insurance for the vehicle. It was a rental like I stated and all the paperwork was/is in order. Can you write someone a ticket for an offense he hasnt committed? I wanted to know what chances I have at beating these tickets. Is there anything I need in particular besides my story and obvious rental agreement to beat this in court? Is there something else that can be done here? Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks to those who reply in advance. Oh yes, heavy legal jargon only adds stress to the uninitiated like me, so please dumb down the answers for me and those who might read this thread in the future. Thanks again :wink:
