Originally posted by tw1tch I got a speeding ticket on black creek, 111KM/h in an 80 zone. It's right when you're coming off the 400 and it turns into an 80.

I wasn't paying attention, they got me on the laser radar. What have others done to fight tickets? I'm thinking pleading not guilty, see what happens, worst is I end up having to pay it. But you can't set a trial date by mail anymore (thought you could) you have to appear now.

did ur insurance go up yet ? and by how much if so .. ??

don't plead guilty !

Do you have a strategy guide for everything in life!? lol, it's great if this actually works for you but I'm not the type of person to turn the world over for a ticket. I got a ticket reduced from 3 points & $180, to 0 points and $90 for just talking to the crown before the whole court scene. whatever, I wouldn't wana bother myself with all that stuff either.

I don't get what you're trying to say. Fine, if you don't wanna bother with going to court then don't, that's the basis for how the system works in the first place. I'm not criticizing the people who don't fight them, I was trying to give some advice on how to actually fight the ticket should he choose to do that, since I figure that pleading guilty is not an attractive option for most people (insurance rates will go up no matter how much you get it reduced - it's the conviction that counts).

If you mean I'm a jerk when dealing with the prosecutors and the courts... then yes, I am, you have to be a jerk in order to get anywhere otherwise they'll walk all over you. What's the big deal - do you think it's immoral to fight the ticket or something? Even if you know you were speeding, everyone still has the right to a trial and the right to know about and challenge the evidence against them, that's pretty much the fundamental basis of legal justice in our country.

So I'm not picking on you if you choose not to exercise that right, but how can you call me a jerk because I choose to and think other people should too? Minor traffic offences are nothing but a tax on the people, they don't save lives, they don't prevent injuries, and I'd be happy to see the entire system cave in on itself and disappear. That's my opinion, whether you like it or not, and I hardly think it makes me a jerk.

dude that stretch is FUCKED UP. when did you get caught? like what time? I drive through there often cuz I work around there. And its SO *EASY* to speed there since you come right off the 400. Everyone speeds there...no one does the posted speed limit till the first traffic right really.
