Speeding Ticket - need advice
- Thread starter dragnbiz
- Start date
If you get a speeding ticket.................
What should you ask for when you apply for disclosure? Here is what I asked for, could any of you think of anything else.
1 - Site plan of police operation.
2 - Model of laser gun.
3 - Course certificate to show the policeman is qualified to use laser.

The last ticket I got, I was doing 45km over the speed limit, about 10 hours from where I lived. It was a remote area and I think I only got the ticket because I was not a local!
I signed the back of the ticket & said I wanted a trial. 3 months later, then sent me a trial date which was a couple of months away. 2 months go by and I get another letter saying the trial had been postponed another 2 months. The date came and went. I could not be bothered driving 10 hours to go to the trial... and that was the lst I ever heard of it. I had no problem renewing my plates or my license.
Now I always drive with a radar / laser detector.. which has saved my ass numerous times.. It was the best $500 I ever spent at Future Shop

Was ticketed about 3 months ago for doing 10 over in a 50 zone, think I was doing closer to 75. Cop tells me that if he does not show up in court, that I should not take that as meaning he does not care, just that he is not a traffic cop, and has other more important duties. He also tells me that if I challenge him the ticket could be increased to the actual speed I was going. I have always just paid the ticket, but this time requested a court date, see what happens.
I did not know futureshop in Ontario sold radar detectors since it is illegal to use one in Ontario.Papi Chulo said:

Quit speeding and be thankful you did not hurt anyone, or yourself.
Pay the ticket and quit driving the way you were at that time.

Cop told me that there is no obligation for them to show you the radar readout, but they may show it to you if they are in a good mood, and it is safe to do so. If you are stopped on the highway, and the radar is built into the cop’s car, they would not want you walking around.
another fuckin joe racer wannna be
...so many times, its guys like you that manage not to only kill themselves, but innocent bystanders too...I understand 20, 30 , even 40 ks over the limit...most reasonably skilled drivers can handle taht speed...but what makes you think you possess the skills, reaction time, experience to go over 2.5 times the legal speed limit. If you got this fuckin need for speed...find a track ...then if you fuck up, you only kill yourself..

I got nailed today on the 401 outside Kingston. 140 in a 100. Ticket is 300.00 bucks. Funny thing is though, I guess you are just supposed to take the cop's word for it how fast you were going. With today's technology you would think they could print something right from the radar gun.
Prick didn't cut me any slack either.
