Thorgnor Posted November 12, 2004 Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 And it's bullshit. Drivin from Kitchener to London just on the L side of Stratford, I decide to pass a guy doing about 70 in an 80. I hammer the pedal siganl and pass. As I'm coasting back down to speed and rounding a corner... wiiiiiooooooo... OPP... fu©k!!! luckily there was no bowling afoot, but the bitch gave me a ticket for 100 in an 80... and I was only doing 100! I have never heard of anybody getting fu©ked over for twenty KM while passing ?!?!?!!?!?!? Bullshit!!!! Sooooooooooooo angry... question is do I fight it entirely or plead guilty with an explanation? :: :: :: :: :: :: :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexis Posted November 12, 2004 Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 guilty with an explanation. all the way. after having a few tickets lately and getting the fines reduced and the points removed, i can say it's worth it. i think secondtube has some experience with this too. You were driving that fast, but with a reason. luck just wasn't on your side. or call 1800 tickets or x coppers or some other similar service and see what they say. opinions are free.

AdamH Posted November 12, 2004 Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 Guilty with explanation. I just did this for a much smaller parking ticket that I was completely guilty of. A little whining and she felt bad for me. It's worth a shot anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h Posted November 12, 2004 Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 ya, i'm under the impression that just showing up gives you a really good chance of at least a reduction. My father always goes to court even when he's 100% guilty and they are more often than not thrown out. (not that he gets tickets that often though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamH Posted November 12, 2004 Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 It may be a bit different with parking tickets, but I wrote down the results (I like gambling) when I went on Wednesday: There were 31 people, of which 24 pled guilty with explanation, of which 20 got a reduction in fines The other 4 got a 2 or 3 month extension on paying their fine. 7 people pled not guilty 3 got a reduction in fines 3 got their ticket thrown out (Officers didn't show) 1 got nothing (he parked across a crosswalk...boob) Those are pretty good odds eh?

Jared Posted November 12, 2004 Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 wait so you mad cause you got a ticket for going 100 in a 80, and the cop gave you a ticket for going 100 seems pretty fair to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvet Posted November 12, 2004 Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 Apparently two of the most common excuses given to cops are "I was keeping up with traffic" and "I was passing someone." Good luck, kick ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h Posted November 12, 2004 Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 i'd say those are the two most common excuses because its probably true a lot of the time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jared Posted November 13, 2004 Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 you never answered me man? i'm not trying to be a dick,, but are you really mad case you got a ticket for a crime you were actually commiting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorgnor Posted November 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 It's just the first time I've seen anybody get pulled over and not have the cop drop the maximum right there on the spot. I'm of the opinion that there should be limiters in cars so that they can't break the speed limit on the highways.. No need for highway cops then and we all save ourselves the idea of literal highway robbery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamH Posted November 14, 2004 Report Share Posted November 14, 2004 So you've got "free the tree" as your signature, and you can't figure out why someone is contesting a speeding ticket that if convicted is not only expensive, but gives you an insurance "record" for years from now? I don't encourage speeding but using every legal process available sounds like a good idea whether you're decriminalizing pot or fighting a speeding ticket.

Jared Posted November 14, 2004 Report Share Posted November 14, 2004 not really., i fell if you comit a crime and you are guilty of that crime then you deserve what ever happens. the same way if i got busted for selling weed. i wouldn't expect any of you to feel bad for me, if i was actually selling weed. if you were just driving down the street and you were speeding then why don't you deserve a ticket? if you were so concerned about you insurance rates or your driving record, then you would have been more careful not to speed when you were over taking another car! and what does my signature have any thing to do with someone breaking a law?

Ms.Huxtable Posted November 14, 2004 Report Share Posted November 14, 2004 It's just the first time I've seen anybody get pulled over and not have the cop drop the maximum right there on the spot. I once got caught doing 180 on Hwy 401. The cop told me he had every right to take my license away right then and there. Instead he wrote me a ticket for 120. I didn't fight it.
