What have I got myself into. I don't want any of this haha. I was driving to Pick up my daughter at 1:30 in the morning. in my pjs. Highway was clear except for the odd stunt driver and truck. I drive a bit slow at night since visibility is not as good and we have a lot of wildlife in the area. Im very aware and don't want to get in an accident. I noticed a black suv cruising very slowly in the right lane alongside another vehicle. I thought it looked like they were talking to each other or something. I slowed down and the "other vehicle" pulled away and drove quickly away. I passed the suv and realized it was OPP. we travelled about 500m and he put his lights on and pulled me over. I gave him my info and he said... "boy you sure were going fast there". I said, "I don't think i was sir. I don't drive fast" and then he gave me a ticket. I wasn't driving 135km/hr. I was really annoyed and contested it. Went to pre-trial and they offered me nothing. court only. Now I need to go to Court on Monday and I don't want to. I don't want to lose points on my license and have my insurance go up for something i didn't do. I have not hired representation either. I don't want to spend the day in court. What should I do?

A couple more things.. I received disclosure. I don't understand all of it. How long should I expect to be in court on Monday? Is there an option to just go in and pay and get out of it quickly without penalty? what if i didn't show up at all? Im worried I made a big mistake and should have just paid the fine. Even though I truly did nothing wrong Its my ignorant word against his educated one so I am probably SOL.

I have been driving directions 23 years without a single ticket and was recently pulled over while driving a car a borrowed from my neighbour. I was driving a jaguar xk rs which I know draws attention and the exhaust is fairly loud. I was in the downtown core looking for a parking spot and had to…
My boyfriend got a ticket for parking in a fire route...apparently. The reason I say that is becuase there were no signs on the side of the road he parked on that read "Fire Route", or any other sign for that matter.
As far as I know, the route is the side of the street the sign is on. I srtated…
