I got pulled over and got a ticket for speeding and no driver license.

which driver license i have.I have 2 driver’s license one is from my country of origin (mexico) and and international translation driver’s license which expires on 13-feb-02.

so i went and payed the speeding ticket $140 and asked a dismissal of the no driver’s license ticket.And the girl at the desk said no and that i have to go a hearing with a grand jury to contest the ticket.

i told her i have no other choice but to contest because i wasn’t driving without driver’s license.

this is costing me days of work .what should i do?

I got a speeding ticket today for going 50 km/hr in a 30 zone.

However, the signs were not visible: one was partly covered by a tree (which I took a picture of later on), and the other was completely covered by a huge construction truck… and right behind that truck was where the cops we located (bastards).

I tried to explain to the cop that the signs were not visible and all he could say is “je peu pas faire rien…”

So should I contest the ticket?

Hello,

Within the last 2 months I received two tickets, my first was for speeding ( 3 demerits) and my second was excessive speeding (14 demerits and 1000$). I already contacted a lawyer,

I believe for the first one they had the radar gun but the second they did not. I want to keep my license, I am 21 with my full 8 demerits, and have had no prior tickets except for one red light.

Is there any hope?

hello,

here is my story :
I got a speeding ticket but the officer never asked for my driver license. He just gave me the ticket. I asked him to see the speed I was driving at but he didn’t answer. He completely ignored every question I asked him and just went back to his car.

should I contest this ticket ?

thanks,
GM

I was going east bound on auto-route 10 around Bolton area. I was approaching an over pas on a decline with my cruise control on at a spot over 110km/hour.  I saw through the corner of my eye a car at the top of the ramp to the overpass, just the nose of the car. It looked as though it was stopped at the stop sign up there. As I come out from under the overpass I look in my mirror to see that it’s an SQ.

He clocked me at 149km I told him it was impossible because I had my cruise set.  (Albeit over the 100 km/hr allowance, but they usually don’t bother you at 110km. but, I didn’t tell him that) I never asked for proof of his radar.  That part of the road was in a decline; could it be possible that going down a hill with the cruise on, that it would have fluctuated that much (110 – 149)? My ticket is for 315$ and 5 demerits.

My question is; is there any way to fight it at least to a lesser fine or at least to remove the demerits.  One, the road was on a decline. And two, the SQ was hidden at the overpasses intersection at the top of the ramp.

Thank you,

Rob

I have spent hours on hours try to find someone in my situation.

Here is my story :

I travel the same road every morning and afternoon to work and back. Now there is this one specific area that has a community safety zone in it. ( There are always cops there) Max Speed in this zone is 60Km/H. But there is a catch.

I was traveling south bound through this are one morning when I noticed a police officer about 1.5km ahead of me in an oncoming direction standing next to the side of the road with his emergency lights on.

My first reaction was “oh-craP” check your speed and yes I was doing my 60. A bit further on still inside the community safety zone the speed changes from 60 to 80.

Based on the fact that there was this police officer in his car with his emergency lights on, I was not sure what the problem was. I knew that I had to be able to pull off in a “SAFE” manner if it would be required and doing a emergency stop in a community safety zone does not fly with me. (more…)

It is always important to respect speed limits… particularly in residential zones… but when the sign is not to be seen… what is the speed limit ? 100km/h ???

Hello,

I got a ticket recently, on a municipal street, I was driving at 77km/h in a 50km/h speed limit zone.
There was no sign to be seen on this side of the street and no sign that indicated a school zone. Should I contest ?

Thank you

I don’t like to publish those stories… if he contest or not, I hope he will lose his points… his 14 demerits points…

Hello!

Almost 3 weeks ago now, I got a ticket on the highway (in a zone with a speed limit at 100 km/h) for big excessive speeding (BES) and 14 demerit points. My car was towed right away and my license put on hold for 7 days. I was driving fast, really fast, I made a big mistake and I notice it. (more…)

When we get a ticket, it is always frustrating… when we are intercepted by an officer has a radar… we tend to abdicate… but if the officer didn’t have one ? And that the officer was also in movement ? On a motorcycle ? Also speeding ?

Is it a valid ticket without radar ? Ioan question…

Hello,

I just got a 90$ and 1 demerit point ticket. Here is the situation, I was driving in the left lane and I pass by a motorcycle without noticing that it was an SQ’s one, yes I know I wasn’t paying attention…

The officer pulled me over and gave me a ticket since he was driving at 115km/h and that I drove faster then him… There was no radar since he was already driving.

My question is the following… can he give me a ticket without a radar. I suppose he can…

But the real question is this one: An officer on duty and who is not driving towards an emergency (no flashing lights on) can he drove over the speed limit? If I look at the road safety code, he should also get a ticket for driving at 115lm/h ? If yes, I should I do to report him ?

Question from Sylvie… it is for her son… not for her…

Will they do a speeding ticket contestation ?

Her story :
***************
Hello,
My son got a speeding ticket in Rawdon. He was driving on a small road with a lot of curves (no houses on the side of the street) at the end of the village towards St-Ambroise. He was driving at about 70km/h since he taught he was in that zone. The officer was coming in the reverse lane and radar his speed. The officer said that he was driving at 91km/h in a 50km/h speed limit zone. My son is contesting and he is waiting for his hearing date. I would like to know the reliability of the radar inside of a moving vehicle.

Thank you !
