Here is situation for my friend & need advice -
- He was driving on Highway ( speed limit 110km) & got speeding ticket for 132km
- He was driving around 120km +- 2Km (as per him)
- No camera, temporory cop vehicle etc on road. Still found one cop in vehicle suddenly come from behind, stopped him & told him about high speed & caught in Radar
- He didn't argue, but simply took speeding ticket. Found $136 as fine
He has 3 options -
1. Pay fine & done
2. Go to court & agree
3. Go to court & deny
What are the chances of winning in case decide to fight speeding ticket?
He is not much conern about FINE amount but worried about demerit points which is 3 as driving above speed limit by 15Km but less than 30Km
How many days/year this demerit will show on record? Will it affect Car Insurance
What is the best way to fight such speeding ticket? Hire agent, do himself etc..
Also this incident happen almost 200-250 km from place of residence. So naturally all court cases etc will be at that place
Do anyone knows, what exactly happening in Court on given date?
Also for information - this is my friend's first incident related to speeding etc in Canada. Also no accidents.
It happen in Alberta

One can never really argue with a cop about a ticket.. it never plays well so glad that your friend didnt
Regarding the ticket, I don't know about Alberta but i can tell you of my experience in USA and hope it helps:
I got a speeding ticket and i didn't pay it for the reason mentioned below by you and i contested it. The rule in USA is that if the cop who gave you the ticket doesn't show up to court, the ticket is dismissed. In larger cities, it usually happens that the cop doesn't show up but in smaller cities, cops definitely show up and if the cop is there, it's usually his word against yours.
Since it happened so far from his home town, I'd recommend that he speak to some traffic violation officials and get an opinion and possibly look into getting some representation so that he doesn't have to do all the leg work him self. I'd also check if there are any courses (in USA they have defensivedricing courses, which if taken waive the ticket but i don't know of any in ONTARIO at least).
sorry that i can't give you any better news

Thanks Guptamik
Can some one write more specific to Canada/Alberta
What can happen in Court?
On particular court date - time written is anytime between 9am to 3pm
That means he has to wait for Cop for that much time in court?
Is there anyway - my friend appear in Court & accept FAULT & agree to pay FINE amount but request to waive Demerit points?
I too have related question
When one hires RENT A CAR, after some aprticular speed say above 120KM
some typical sound comes frequently if Radio is ON
I heard Communication Tower changes RANGE, is it TRUE?
May be Rent A Car has some instrument which is catching RADAR of Cop
Just want to confirm?
Of Course, I already wrote earlier,
but just want to know, what options available to save from demerit points
How much will it affect your car insurance?
Can someone write more details?

Can I request to change the court case date due to some emergencies or I have to appear in the court in any circumstances?
