Ticket because of a new roadsigns and markings
When we drive by the same place for many years and suddenly the roadsingns and marking are modify and becomes more restrictive, we can easily get caught… Can we say that we had good intentions ?
Here is Marc’s story that got a ticket because of a new roadsigns and marking.
*****************
Hello,
I got a ticket for big excessive speeding in a new marking zone. It’s right at the entry of the village, the zone goes from a 90km/h speed limit to a 50km/h speed limit. By the mid-June of 2009 (source verified with the ministry of transportation), the 50km/h zone was enlarge.
I rarely drive by in the area and on September 15 2009 I didn’t see the new roadsing. The officer arrested me and showed me the radar lecture of 92km/h. He told me that I was losing my licence right away for 7 days. I asked him more information and he told me that it was going to cost me 488$, 6 demerits points and that my fill will have this information for 10 years. So 10 years where, if I make an other big excessive speeding (40km/h over the speed limit) I will lose my license on the spot.
I work with my vehicle, so I tried and insisted on reducing the speed at 88km/h (speed that is not a big excessive speeding). The officer didn’t want to.
I wanted to plead not guilty and take an arrangement with the prosecutor for reduced sentence, but I just learned that this is not possible anymore. 
I had my licence for 14 years and never got a ticket.
How could I reduce my sentence in court ?
And how much will it cost me if I win or lose in court ?
Thank you !

My answer :
You are not the first person with in that sort of situation… Unfortunately, good intentions are easier to prove when the roadsigns have just been changed… in your case, it has been almost 3 months…
It is not really a good thing to say that you didn’t see the roadsigns… it means that you weren’t paying attention at the road… Unless the roadsing was not that visible…
Concerning a possible reduction of the sentence in court or other way to avoid paying your ticket, because it is probably possible in order to avoid losing your licence, you would have to get in touch with a specialized lawyer… Keep us up dated and good luck.
