Early morning of Dec 30th I was pulled over for apparantly exceeding the speed limit by 59km/h on Hwy 8 in Kitchener. Officer reduced the ticket to 49km/h since first offence and not my car - but he wrote "R" on the ticket to show that the ticket was reduced. I'm confident I wasn't exceding 130km/h and for the majority of the time only driving at 120km/h. The officer said that he had a "laser trap" set up on a section of the highway (1km - 2kms) that had a reduced maximum speed of 80km/h (it use to be 100km/h, also he pulled me over in a 100km/h zone) and that I was liable for stunt driving - - - (later reduced see above). I am wondering if I should just pay the huge fine and demerit points to avoid potentially having the "real" speed (which would put me in the stunt driving category) refered to in court or if I should request a trial and try to minimize the fine pleading it was a first offence, or the limited highway lighting/reduced speed zone. Thanks,

This is my first time ever getting a ticket and I am completely frustrated and don't know what to do.
On July 7th, I was driving to work, taking my usual route and it's about a 15 minute drive for me. At the first red light, I noticed I had a bit of time thanks to the countdown so I quickly…
I'm hoping somebody can point me in the right direction to track down various radar gun error codes.

My husband was driving my car and passed a school bus with flashing lights. He did not realize this until he was past the bus. The driver honked at him but there were no cops nearby and he didn't get pulled over. I believe the driver or witnesses reported this and we got issued a…
