So here is the story. I was following a vehicle in an 80km/h zone for quite sometime the vehicle kept slowing to 70 then accelerating to 100. Finally saw a spot to pass safely and did. The oncoming traffic was a vehicle and an OPP cruiser behind. The OPP officer pulled me over saying they clocked the vehicle infront of me going 100 and got me doing 139 but there was a vehicle infront of the officer so i dont understand how they clocked anybody especially me with 2 cars blocking the cruiser. Regardless I know I was speeding I told the officer about the other vehicle etc. I also had a double whammy expired insurance card 10 days ago the officer also gave me a ticket for that. My problem is I had my child in the car with me it is -2C on this night and the officer took my keys with my window down and left me and my child for 20min in the freezing cold. Then came back with the tickets speeding of 40 over and the failure to produce insurance and then told me that they would be keeping my insurance card so I better put a new one in and now I am left with nothing at all. Not only am I very angry the officer made me and my child freeze but they took my keys which I havent heard of and kept my insurance. What if I got in an accident after this I now have nothing. I am wondering if I can fight this ticket because not only do I think I was not going the speed the officer said I believe it would be hard for them to get me with a dash mounted radar with 2 vehicles in the way and still have time to get the speed of all 3 vehicles like they claim. Is leaving me and my child in the cold some sort of human rights violation and is taking my keys allowed. If anybody can help or steer me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated. I know my ticket was already reduced and they say they could have got me for stunt driving that is why I am not sure if I should just pay or fight my case. Thanks in advance

130 in 100 zone, 5 hours away
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…
Something feels fishy with my stunt driving charge
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…

Pursuit rating of non-domestic vehicles
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...
Quebec also has "Street Racing" legislation
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…
Speeding - what should the set fine and total payable be?
Hi,
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.
Wh…
First speeding ticket, OPP officer claims 40km/h on 401.
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…
168 in 100 zone. 400
Hi Guys,
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…
