Re: Speeding ticket for 128km/h in 80km/h what should i do.
You're hitting all the check marks for excuses that aren't defenses. "I was speeding but not that fast", "Someone else was speeding too"... Speeding is called an absolute liability offense. You were either speeding or you weren't. There is no in between. That means you were doing 80, not 90, 95, 100, 105, etc. You will be found guilty otherwise. "But someone else was speeding too" is irrelevant to your charge. There's no requirement to catch every speeder in the province before getting a conviction out of you. If you want to request a trial, hit up the court house and fill out a Notice to Appear form. You'll get your court date in the mail in usually 1-2 months. From there, you can make a disclosure request. If you don't know how, visit the municipality website where the courthouse is located. They will have a generic form for you to fill out. Show up to court and never mention any of the excuses you've already provided here. They will not help you in the slightest. In fact, they will hurt your case. Good luck.

Re: Speeding ticket for 128km/h in 80km/h what should i do.
well if i know i am liable for speeding as i was over 80km/h than should i just plead with explanation or should i still go for defending my self. and the car ahead of me was not that close to me (almost 1 km distance between me and that car) that officer can not turn back officer had enough time to turn back and stop that car but she didn't and than as soon as she went past me she turn around for me so my point that why she didn't book that car for speeding why me is it like their choice. because officer her self told me that that car was 102km/h and she let go that car. or should i seek any paralegal will they be able to clear my ticket?? this is my first offence and i don't understand what should i do now.

Accident ( Improper Right Turn charge)
Hello All,
About 5 months ago I was driving along a two-way road approaching an intersection. The road had a left/ straight turning lane and a right turning lane.

After not moving for about 1 second, I check my rear view mirror, signaled and changed lanes to the right…

No ticket yet but need lots of help!!
So I was driving east bound pulling an empty tandem trailer on a gravel highway. Eventually I caught up to a truck pulling a fifth wheel. The speed limit was 70km/h and I don't quite remember but I'm almost 100% that the guy in front of me was driving at 60km/h. After being behind him for a few kilometers and getting two cracks in my windshield from rocks off his tires, I decided to pass him. I…
First Speed Ticket Reduced to 15km
Hi all,
I have been driving for over 10 years without any tickets and accidents what so ever. Unfortunately my luck ran out this past Friday; when the officer pulled me over doing 80 in a 50 zone in Mississauga, Ontario. Officer was very friendly and polite not to mention nice enough to reduce the charge to 15KM.
On the speeding ticket it now says doing 65km in a 50 zone. Never having a speeding…

Car got impounded
Hi there,
So I was driving my dad's car and it got impounded because I got a stunt driving ticket.
My dad is out of the country and my 7 day suspension is over a day before he gets back.
Would I still be able to pick the car up? It is at York Auto
The slip I was given by the cop has my name on it as well, as I am under the insurance.
Received suspension because notice sent to old address.
I got two tickets on Feb 20 2011. One for red light, and the other for Stop sign. I knew I had a good chance at getting off on the red light, because the officer couldn't actually see the light facing me. He was at an opposite angle, further up the street.
I set a court date for both tickets. On April 22 I moved to a new place. I went to the Service Ontario location and renewed my licence…
