speeding ticking in T.O.

hi guys,

my brother got pulled over this weekend in Bellville on his way home from Mtl (to Toronto) for speeding… he was going 140, the limit on the highway was 100. Its his first time being pulled over…he’s 25. I’m not too worried abt the $175 ticket…but i think he’ll lose like 3 points. does anyone have any advise on how to avoid loosing points in a situation like this?..:confused:

Re: speeding ticking in T.O.

lol he can try contesting it but i don't know any ontario laws though... maybe mercenary can give u some advice..

btw u ontarions are really hated over here in MTL... u guys know nothing about driving! (just to let u know lol)

Re: speeding ticking in T.O.

take it to court, if the cop was using a hand gun (speed gun) then he'll get outta of quickly, but take it to court, cop might not even show up.

i did downtown T.O to downtown MT, with 2 15 min breaks in 4 hours. :p

Re: speeding ticking in T.O.

haha when was this?

i gotta tell u fun story while we're at it.

going from MTL to T.O and half way there a cop is coming from behind, so we think he's gonna follow the next exit...but NO!!! he was right up ahead of us all the way to our destination! lol

Few months ago.

well usually i find couple of other speeders and we just all get in line and keep an eye on all the underpasses. its a good road, so 160 180 all the way, :D

Re: speeding ticking in T.O.

racing on the 401 is really fun, really amusing

especially when u find some from the p.e.i/nb/ns regions haha they are always fun to deal with

Re: speeding ticking in T.O.

we don't like you french people that much either.... just to let you know!

Re: speeding ticking in T.O.

i think i no you.

Re: speeding ticking in T.O.

Re: speeding ticking in T.O.

.. we hate the french people tooo u see there's a divide in quebec. :D hey at least the quebec flag flies alongside canada's at their embassies!!! :P

Note: No swearing please....not in any language. Thank you.

Re: speeding ticking in T.O.

Talk to the people who will prepare you before the judge arrives (in the court i.e if you will go to attend the hearing) about not wanting to loose the points. I think they will adivse you to plead guilty and will reudce the fine as well as the remove the points so there will be no points cut. one of my friend had the same problem, she went to the court for hearing she had to plead guilty in order to save her points (3 points for speeding over 15km)

Re: speeding ticking in T.O.

this is km's u r talking about right? how many miles does it come to?

Re: speeding ticking in T.O.

ha! He got away cheap. snif snif

Re: speeding ticking in T.O.

Whaaaa :eek:

He got pulled over for only doing 140 on the 401? :confused:

140 is the average speed on the 401…

I usually go 140-160 on the 401…

Man I bet he was the only car on the road thats why he stood out…

Re: speeding ticking in T.O.

I’ve had good experience with POINTTS (http://www.pointts.com/). I engaged them on two different occassions - they charge something like $250 and you typically don’t have to pay your ticket. I didn’t lose any points either time. You also don’t have to show up for the hearing.

They’ll prolly ask you for the name of the constable who wrote the ticket… something tells me their legal reps have some sort of an arrangement with the OPP traffic cops :slight_smile:

Re: speeding ticking in T.O.

Go to any desi lawyer... they'll get the points removed and waive the charge to half of wut it is...and they'll charge something like $75 or $100.

Re: speeding ticking in T.O.

ur brother ..but ive heard about you through him :)
guess who :P

Re: speeding ticking in T.O.

same here... he mentioned you to.

Re: speeding ticking in T.O.

You are right. OPP brotherhood collects the fine for their brotherhood fund and the cop does not show up. You pay equivalent of fine but no demerit points.

Re: speeding ticking in T.O.

well then, nice "meeting" you finally :)
