my buddy once got a ticket for speeding and he had to send it in with a cheque so what he did was send in a cheque for more money than the ticket was worth. They sent the cheque back to him and thats the last time he heard of the ticket. (rumor) I think so
(Worth a try) HELL YA! |
No offense, but your friend is full of shit if he said that. It's an old urban legend that you can overpay the ticket, and they'll send you back a check for the balance, and if you don't cash it then some glitch in the system will prevent the ticket from ever getting processed. It DOESN'T WORK! The Ontario government is MORE than happy to accept your little gift! 
FYST is a decent resource (www.magma.com/~fyst). If you don't trust their advice (it's pretty good but it won't *always* work) then I think your best bet is just to hire a lawyer (if you have lots of money), go to Pointts (if you have a little money), or start sobbing to a Justice of the Peace and hope that they take pity on you and reduce your fine/points. (if you have no money).

apparently you can pay a ton of money though Points to get it taken care of.. they will erase your points and ticket.. |
They most certainly will not. They guarantee a "win", but that's just a reduction in the fine/points. There's no guarantee how much of a reduction, and there may be no reduction at all - it just means you get your money back, but you're still raped on insurance. If you go with an agency like Pointts or X-Copper, then the only way you can get off scot-free is if the cop doesn't show up to court, in which case you'd have been better off saving your money and going to court yourself.
