what should i do??
i got caught doing 80 in a 50. what should i do??
|
FIGHT IT... NO QUESTIONS ASKED... go to the JP and ask for a guilty with explaination ... and then make some up. Say you had a bad day at work, and you weren't thinking, and you're focused on paying you rent, and you work commission and have had a lousy month, something like that. Works every time.

or set up a date and talk the the prosecution there, maybe the cop wont show up. send in one of your friends to reset the date.

ticket
would you guys go to X coppers or Traffic tickets guys????
|
I would go to points.... they've seen like the best in the past
|
Don't waste your MONEY on points or any paralegal...do it yourself. Most of them constitute a "win" by getting your fine lowered or reduction in points.
Better off saving $300 plus dollars by trying to speak to the prosecutor/crown before your trial date...you can probably get the same resolution as the paralegal. |
I completely agree with Moosexing. Its true that even a reduction in points is considered a win. Between 15-29 kph over the driver loses 3 points, 30-49 over is 4 points.
In this case the originator of the post was charged with driving 80 in a 50 zone = 30 kph over. So for the sake of 1 kph the prosecutor may consider (depending I'm sure on previous convictions) ammending the ticket to read 29 over. That would be considered a win. The out of court settlement for 29 over is $138.75, for 30 over $142.50. So that agent would have been paid (who know's how much) to save the driver $3.75! Like Moosexing said "don't waste your money". |
aw yes, prosecutors, will do anything to register a win, which works for both your favours many times. Anyways this is how it goes, go fight it, go to points or x copper, better waste 300 points now than 1 thousand in insurance surchargers, try and get the points off and down to 15 over. here is something that should help
Q: I have been offered a plea bargain deal, should I accept it? A: There is no definite answer. If you are pretty sure that you will win, of course, by all means ignore the deal. But for those who are inexperienced or merely trying their luck, just keep in mind that trials can be very unpredictable. And of course if points and/or insurance surcharges matter to you, seriously consider the deal and try to negotiate. For ordinary speeding tickets, the best deal is a no-point offence (e.g. 15km/h or less over). Some courts in the U.S. will allow plea bargain deals to be equipment violations or seatbelt infractions, but I don't think Ontario will accept these. It doesn't hurt to try though, after all they are more interested in money than anything else. Non-moving violations are the best deals period, since they carry no points and won't affect your insurance. If the Crown won't give you a non-moving, at least get a 15km/h over, this way only your insurance could be affected. If the original charge is of the more serious type, bargain one that is two brackets down. I have seen a clueless defendant accept a 29km/h over deal for an original 35km/h over charge. To me this is a ripoff because 29km/h over is still a 3-point offence and the modest reduction in fines couldn't even compensate the lost time spent in court (he sat there for two hours before striking a deal during the recess, when the prosecution felt that they couldn't finish all of their cases in time). The bottom line is, before you accept a deal, think about your desired outcome, evaluate your current points tally and insurance situation, and set a realistic goal. If your goal isn't met, also set a limit on what you are willing to accept. If all else fails, there is always the trial. http://www.magma.ca/~fyst/ |
