Today I was apparently clocked going 99km/h in a 70 zone. The officer reduced my ticket to 15km/h over. I have a few questions; 1) While the officer stated to me that I was going 29km/h over, is it possible that this number is even higher? 2) If I select a trial option and decide to plead guilty rather than proceeding with the trial, will the ticket still be reduced? In other words, how long can I push the ticket back before pleading guilty? As you might guess, my goal is actually to delay the ticket as much as it is to fight it. My insurance renewal is in October so I'm hoping that if my trial is pushed back that this ticket won't immediately impact my renewal as I have a ticket that is just over two years old on my record. Additionally, if my goal is to delay a conviction for as long as possible rather than to beat the ticket is early resolution beneficial in pushing back the trial date or is it just a waste of time. I don't expect to beat my ticket but I am hoping that my current conviction (again 15km/h over) is wiped from my abstract before this one takes his place.

Yes it is, but he probably gave you the actual number. Yes. The charge remains as-is unless you decide to plead not guilty. If you do so, it will be amended to reflect a speed of 29 km/h over the limit. Don't bother with early resolution. You're just going to waste more of your time. Unless you live in a sparsely populated part of the province, your trial date is likely to be after October.

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…
