Hi, we were driving on a highway in the Napanee area and we got pulled by the officer. To make things short we were charged with stunt driving going at 153km on a highway, vehicle was towed away and kept for 7 days, license suspended for 7 days. OTT paralegal says that the persecutor can only take out the "stunt" driving but will still keep the limit to 153km. We aren't happy about this because of the insurance and the amount we will have to pay. Any ideas on how we could fight this case? What should we expect ($) in terms of the insurance increase? What are the questions we/paralegal could ask the court or the police officer to help with the case? Any suggestions or ideas will be greatly appreciated.

This is one of those charges where you hope to get a favorable plea deal. With a speed of 53 and a somewhat clean record, it's not uncommon for people to be offered speeding 49km over. It's the difference between a 5% surcharge on your insurance versus 100%. At the end of the day, the difference in insurance will be astronomical. If that's something they'd offer, take it and run. Speeding over 50km is still considered a serious offense in terms of insurance. It's no different then where you are now. 100% surcharge and the possibility of being dropped. Your paralegal is likely looking to get you a reduced charge. I wouldn't expect much more than that.

Hi everyone, after 12 years of clean driving, I got my first ticket. I had stepped out to grab a bite and left my valid licence in my other pocket. I had an expired "valid photo ID" licence in my vehicle that I keep just in case I need photo ID. I gave the officer that one and I told him my valid…

this is ALL I got in terms of notes. No record of calibration before or after.
my question is, should I send a second request for the officer's notes from the day? or can I run with this and press the point that he didn't test the unit before or after?
