Re: Reviewing Disclosure for Stunt Driving Ticket
Hey Whenaxis, thanks for replying. In your previous message, you suggested that it'd be a good idea to set up for trial if denied a 49 under plea deal. To confirm and clarify, are you suggesting now that it's a good idea to plead guilty because there is a potential for worse punishments if I lose the trial? I'll be meeting a paralegal today to discuss what sort of defence I have, if any at all. Based on that I might be able to decide better what decision to make. You should still retain a lawyer or paralegal if you plan on pleading guilty. They will help you make submissions on penalty (fine a...

Re: Reviewing Disclosure for Stunt Driving Ticket
Hey Zatota, thanks for the reply. Correct, I'd be willing to plead guilty to a 49 under charge. Unfortunately, I wasn't offered such a deal. I'm meeting with a paralegal tomorrow to review my disclosure. I'm hoping to get a good sense of whether or not I want to go to trial. I'm not opposed to going to trial, I'm just concerned whether going for a trial will make matters worse for me. Do you know if that's something that happens? Is it possible that simply pleading guilty will give me a less severe final result than going to court? The way the prosecutor from the early resolution meeting made ...

Re: Reviewing Disclosure for Stunt Driving Ticket
Thanks for your response.
Unfortunately, at the early resolution meeting, the prosecutor did not offer me a deal to reduce to 49 under. He simply said to plead guilty and request a lowered fine. He said that if I go to trial, they will go for maximum fine and license suspension.
Is he just trying to scare me into pleading guilty? Can someone advise if it's genuinely a good idea to just plead guilty now so I get a relatively low fine and no license suspension or should I pursue a trial?
Please advice, I'm clearly out of my depth here.

Re: Reviewing Disclosure for Stunt Driving Ticket
Yeah thanks for your response. I'm definitely hoping for a 49 or under! Does anyone have anything else to add? I'm looking for anything in specific that can help with the prosecutor.
I've heard dressing well and looking like you give a *EDIT* helps. Any advice on what to say?
Also, the facts I've included is essentially everything from the disclosure. How do I gauge whether or not that is a good set of evidence for the crown? I'll 100% take the 49 or under deal if given, but I still would like to know whether they have a strong case against me or not.

Reviewing Disclosure for Stunt Driving Ticket
Hi all, I received a stunt driving ticket earlier in the year (171 km/h in a 100 km/h zone) and attended my summons earlier this week, where I received the disclosure. I set a meeting for an early resolution for this Friday (March 16th, 2018). Would any of you be able to help me review my disclosure and help me assess my options? I'd also very much appreciate any advice for the meeting with the prosecutor (what I should say, etc). Needless to say, I feel awful about my behaviour and have learned a very expensive lesson ($1500 impound/tow fees). I need advice on how to proceed and hopefully put...
