first speeding ticket
 
frigg on my way to work this morning on kingston rd going towards morningside, stupid cop caught me. I was going 100 in a 60. However, he radar'd me at 89. When he asked me why i was going so fast i said i was late for work. He said where do i work, and i replied TD Bank. He said ok, ill reduce your speed from 89 to 75 in a 60 with no points. Although im grateful for that, im still cheesed about the 52.5$ fine. Money's tight these days :P

well, money must not be so tight that you're willing to take the risk; if you're doing 100 in a 60, chances are, you'll get caught.

be grateful that your ticket is only $50. i've gotten a ticket for $80 for driving in the hov lane before. i think your offense was greater than mine, yet you get to only pay a mere $50.

well its right off the highway and the stretch is 80km until it randomly turns into a 60 so i got caught doing 89 that LITERALLY turned from an 80 to a 60 right where he caught me

sooooo, that's the case with speed limits. no where is there a sign that warns you of the reduced speed. it just becomes reduced.

jdesouz 26-Jan-2008 04:28 PM

oh well

You can't fight 15 over tickets. Tried it already

J-SKI 26-Jan-2008 05:31 PM

you can try and fight 5 over if you really want. you just have to take it to court and hope the cop doesn't show. he no show = you no more ticket.

jdesouz 26-Jan-2008 05:38 PM

ya but i know he'll come he let me off big time and he'll think im ungrateful so no point waste of both our times

Depending on what mood the judge is in and sees the officers notes and decides to charge you with the 40km/hr over instead.

I got the same ticket.. $52..
I was doing 29 over going down cawthra under dundas...
Definatly one of the worst places to speed.

Then,
I didnt pay it for 3 months.. they suspended my liscence without me knowing.
Suposedly i drove all through christmas with no liscence. Yay!! , thank god I didnt get pulled over by R.I.D.E.

Pay your ticket right away man. Take my word for it!

xray 26-Jan-2008 07:09 PM

Pay the DAM ticket and thank God it wasn't a prick sitting behind that radar gun.

spike 26-Jan-2008 08:04 PM

You got lucky. he must use td bank.

rickytangimports 27-Jan-2008 03:42 AM

wow, no points! Consider yourself extremely lucky, i would rather pay a 1000 dollar fine and no points than 100dollars and points
