Re: Reduced Speeding Ticket & Failure to Show Proof of Insur

I'm not sure how ticket busters (or whatever they are called) will fight the fail to produce. You were asked for it and didn't have it - not much to defend there. I think your plan is sound - it is what I would do. You may not get a break on either ticket because you already got such a break at the roadside but turn up early, neatly dressed and be ...

Re: Teen Stunt Driving Charge

Without question. It sounds like your family has money but even when you get your licence back your insurance will be nose-bleedingly expensive for a long time. Think 5 figures possibly.

Re: 99 over speed limit

Don't make duplicate threads for the same questions, it just gets confusing. You have a very real-life answer to this question in your other thread. I'd be taking whatever the crown throws at me.

Re: Teen Stunt Driving Charge

You were going almost 100 kms/hr over the speed limit. To bring that down to any sort of break for you they'd have to shave off 50 kms/hr from your recorded speed. I would be very surprised if you get any break at all and, as has been mentioned on these boards, speeding is one of the hardest tickets to beat.

I'm sorry for not having sympathy for ...

Sorry to the OP - looking back I believe I was thinking of another thread on my last post. He was never ambiguous about identification at court. I thank him for not just telling me I was a moron !

Re: Teen Stunt Driving Charge

Words fail me. Inexperienced driver and at that speed. You are INCREDIBLY lucky you didn't get a Criminal Code Dangerous Driving charge. I will be stunned if the crown offers any negotiation at all and as you have retained counsel what exactly are you hoping to get from an anonymous Internet forum above and beyond their advice.

If you are not a ...

Re: Cop told me to take ticket to court

It be surprised if the JP misses that and doesn't just quash the ticket. I had a very keen auxiliary officer complete the keystone info on a ticket that I then subsequently lawfully served without noticing he had put July instead of June for the offence date. The ticket being filed before the written offence was duly quashed. I wrote my own damn ...

Bringing someone else to court pretending to be you won't work as we ID the driver through the valid photo ID drivers licence provided at the scene. Courts don't expect us to be able to pick people out of a full court room 9 months after a traffic stop.

Re: speeding 110 in a 80 zone reduced to 95

You can pay the ticket right up to and including the day of trial. I've seen people speak to the prosecutor on the day of trial, realise the officer is there and run off to pay it

Re: Just "beat" my Careless Driving charge thanks to you guy

Just to clarify what argyll is saying: Insurance companies DO care about convictions. In many cases, Careless Driving is enough to get your insurance company to drop your coverage. However... in the case where a collision happens (such as this case), the insurance companies are more concerned about the at-fault determination rather than whether ...

Re: Seatbelts in SUV

I doubt anyone is going to come on here and provide you with information that is going to let you conduct a risk assessment on an illegal activity. The police officers on here have seen all too frequently the effects of not wearing seat belts.

Please don't do it - there must be other options.

Because the insurance companies don't care about convictions, only the collision and at-fault determinations.

Re: renewing licence questions

No but your licence should have the condition on it that you need vision aids while driving.
