Ok, i'm just waiting on my trial date to come in the mail so I can request disclosure. Depending on what's in the officer's notes I may fight it or go to the crown prosecutor's office to arrange a plea-bargain.

I'll keep everyone filled in on my progress.

Alright thank you everyone! I now have all of the information I need to fight this ticket.

Alright so it seems my best bet is to plea-bargain. I luckily bumped into an old police officer on my friend's boat yesterday who worked with the crown-attourney and even he told me to file a court date, ask for disclosure, and then plea-bargain it down to 15 or 20 over.

Just a few questions:

Is plea-bargaining something I can request, or something they offer?
If it is requestable, where do I do that?

I vaguely remember the police officer on the boat telling me to go to the crown-attourney's office to talk with her, is this where I go to plea-bargain?

I'm definitly leaning towards taking this to court unless I can get it reduced to a charge of 15 over. The only two reasons I wouldn't want to take this to court is:

1) Have the officer amend the charge back to stunt driving
2) Losing the trial and not receiving a plea-bargain

How likely is it that those occur?

Also, knowing that i'm 18, do you think that they would be less likely to offer me a plea-bargain and more likely to let me defend myself in court?

How do you plea bargaining? I don't see that as any of the options on my ticket. I've read through TicketCombat the past two days and have learned a lot, and will also go watch a few trials weekly to make sure i'm solid if I do decide to fight this. If me saying I thought I was going 35 over is in the officer's notes then I don't have much of a defence in court except to denie that I made that statement (also illegal am i right?). I could try and force a "voir dire" by saying that the officer threatened me into making this statement by threatening to impound my car saying I was going...

If there's no way to beat the ticket, is there any way to get the cost reduced? Am I able to speak to a judge one and one to explain my I realized my faults, and have no intention of doing it again, and then explain my financial situation?

I would preferably like to schedule a trial to take my chances of the officer not showing up. If the officer does show up then I'd like to try and just get the ticket reduced reasonably.

I was just stopped yesterday by a cruiser on the side of a split highway at 9:35pm. I realized I was speeding at around 140km/h (passenger seat agreed) and when I saw the cruiser in front of me I hit the breaks to slow down to 100km/h. As soon as I was near parallel to him (two lanes) he put on the flashers and pulled me over. The officer told me that he had me clocked in at 149km/h then 150km/h then 149km/h jumping back and forth and let me know all of the charges I would face with driving at 150km/h. The officer later came back and gave me a ticket for speeding 149km/h in a 150km/h zone. He ...
