I was driving my bosses van and was pulled over and charged with 105kmh in a 90kmh zone and fail to have insurance card. The officer actually caught me doing 119kmh but lowered it(this is not noted on the ticket). I thought I was doing 100-110kmh. He was nice and I appreciate him lowering the amount. Of course I still don't want any insurance increases nor a mark on my driving record. I don't really care about the fine but am wondering if there is any way out of the convictions. These are my first in 5 years of driving. I've never even had a warning for speeding before, of course he doesn't know that. There is one mistake on the tickets, he listed the van I was driving as a 2009 when it is actually a 2001. I'm not sure if that type of mistake really matters though. Also I don't normally drive this van, I just took over because my friend and coworker was too tired to drive. Only after I got the ticket and the cop mentioned how fast I was going did we realized the speedo was off because of the tires the boss had put on the van and that he had forgot to put in the current insurance card. My father has run a part time ticket business in the past and told me to talk to the prosecutor about the resolution process and that she may offer to drop the tickets if I explain the situation and make a donation to a local hospital charity. I'm running out of time to pick an option, I have until wed the 12th of November. Should I pick the trial option to give myself some time to talk to the prosecutor?

Re: Speeding and fail to have insurance card.

Thanks for the info. Any thoughts on the rest of the situation hwybear ? I did end up going with the trial option. The woman at the provincial offensives office told me that in a couple weeks I would be getting my trail date and details and the prosecutor would also. She gave me the prosecutors number and told me to call her once I got the trial date and see about working something out.

One must be able to surrender the permit for that vehicle. Permit includes the vehicle portion and plate portion. The back side of the permit is where the corresponding validation from the validation sticker must be placed. One may surrender a true COPY of the permit (front and back).
