Hello everyone, Today I got pulled over for speeding. I was in 70 km zone, but neglected to stay within that limit as I was following the flow of traffic. I followed a car going the similar speed as I was. Another car was behind me, about 100 metres, also going the similar speed. I admit, I neglected to notice how fast I was driving until a cruizer pulled me over. He said I was going 110 km. My excuse on the spot was that I was just following the speed of the driver ahead of me and neglected to check my speedometer. He jammed me with a Highway Traffic Act 128, speeding 110 km in a postd 70 km zone. In addition, he also surprised me by telling me my license (full G which I recieved only the previous year) had been expired for almost 3 months! This really took me by surprise as I had no idea! Im always very organized with my paperwork, and had I recieved something in my mail about renewal of the license, I would have dealt with it right away. The truth is, I just didn't notice my expiry date on my license. The funny thing is I visited the LCBO a few times this summer and they always asked to check my Id. Nobody had ever noticed my expired date! Nevertheless, the MTO should have sent me a renewal notice, no? He jammed me with a second ticket: highway traffic act 32(1) - drive motor vehicle no license. $325. Im in shock. This was a very unlucky night for me. The officer told me to go to court for my speeding ticket. I will do so. He never mentioned anything about the second ticket. Should I also take the second ticket to court? I am also wondering how this will look on my record. Im currently going through ATS examinations to become a cop myself, and I am worried how this will impact my application. Please advise, any help is mich appreciated.

I have a lot of issues with the idea that speed measuring devices like radar and lidar guns are using computer generated simulations to test themselves that they are working properly. The manufacturer is making a claim that a device can test itself. Where's the proof that it works?
