My husband accidentally passed a school bus on the same side of the road, and he was stopped by the police. He basically told the police that he himself (the driver) is wrong. He said that previous days the school bus doesn't flash and he made the same assumption (which is stupid of him). The thing is, he has a speeding ticket before which costed him 3 demerit points. If he gets another 6 points for this, his license might be suspended. We can't afford for his license to be suspended because his job needs him to drive around. I know chances are slim and he is stupid for doing this, but is there any ways to decrease the demerit point by even just one? Or is there a way to change it to Failure to Stop for School Bus as Owner? Thank you and any suggestion will help.

When did he receive the speeding ticket? Demerit points last 2 years from the day you receive your ticket. If you need to stretch it out, you can ask for a court date and that might push you over the 2 year mark on your last ticket.

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately he just received it early this year. I know he is wrong and not making any excuse but we just want to find a solution for our family.

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…
