Agent Orange

Well last night decided to go up to kingston waterloo and then to london and back home at 1:30 in the morning...well about 30 mins in i am going 180 and see a cop ahead slamm on the breaks and begin to slow down ...and instantly get pulled over...go figure...

cop says i was doing 170 in a 100 and gives me a straight summons to court....


but i was behind him and 3 lanes over!?
Is it possible he caught me on radar???

and what is your guess at the fine

imported_dmacbo

the new cop cars are equipped to radar from behind, with the fine it can be up to $5000 because you were going 50km over and possibly suspended licence

hkalltheway

but if the cop car is moving, is the radar reading accurate?

Steve

you should have asked to see the radar gun...cause he could have been bluyffing

[1sL0CiviC]

The cop doesnt have to show you the radar........anyway, its like admitting your speed if you do choose to see it, cause (s)he is showing your captured speed to you!

fine could range from 600 to 5000!

hire someone for this one, you dont want to get a suspension
that will really mess you up with your insurance

PRELUDEGIRL

im not sure if im right...but i dont think they can give u a ticket if you were behind him because there is no accurate way how fast u are going..

imported_dmacbo

they can give you a ticket if your behind them, in front, beside
or even too close to them in the tim hortons drive thru, doesn't matter

imported_Popkorn

They have mobile radar. They've had that for quite a while now.

Yikes, I have to stop driving 180 on the 401.

-------> GO to JAIL!!!

Agent Orange

well here is the gist of it so far...

6 points...
fine is supposed to be 9.75$ for ever km over the limit past 50 over and above..... so right there that is
9.75*70=
$682.50
Then add tax
682.50*1.15=
$784.88
Then apparantley since i was exceeding the limit by so much the judge has the option to add a fine on top of you to 5000$ and liscense suspension.
after the suspension i must retake the driving exam and pay 110$ to reeinstate

now since i have 5 points on my record...i am looking at interviews with the ministry of transportaion after the court date and a possible suspension for 6 months.. and another reinstatement for 110$ then re-examination again and then they drop me back down to 7 total points instead of 12

imported_dmacbo

get some to represent you, if you get 7-12 points insurance company is going to own you

Agent Orange

so anyone have any good ticket fighters??

imported_Popkorn

I recommend Pointts, X-Copper isn't very good. I've had poor experience dealing with X-Copper.

Agent Orange

yeah x coppers said they didn't want to take my ticket...

and I would rather use a single guy not an company like points or ex coppers

SiR-Racer

definitely get a lawyer for this one!

Dont stress about it man, get a lawer and its reduceed to 149 in 100.

imported_1sicsol

You cant speed on that hwy they got helichopters that get high speeders.
I could of easily ran from the cops, they cant do 250. I heard of an NSX that did 270 and got caught miles down when he got off the ramp. You cant speed man, it sucks but it also takes a kick in the *** to respect the laws too. Well, for you and me.

imported_echien

You and me both. 180 in my world wasn't unheard of. Man I've been likey.

I can't imagine getting a ticket for going that speed (Or higher!). I can't imagine getting a ticket! The hassle of going to court, getting lawyer, man that's it I'm going to slow it down now.
