i received two tickets today. one for going 137 in a 50, and one for racing a motor vehicle. just over a year ago, i got two minimal (one 20 over, and one 15 over) speeding tickets. do i have any chance of having it lowered to just speeding?

Re: 137 in a 50, what should i do?
I wouldn't say it's a guarantee, but it's a possibility. I certainly have seen the Crown drop the stunt driving charge in exchange for a plea to the speeding in the past. Regardless, I'd suggest seeking representation. You're facing some serious consequences if you're found guilty.
