Speeding Ticket - Ughh! - #1 Car Club In Kitchener - Waterloo - Cambridge

**STACKER** · 09-21-2006, 05:59 PM

So yesterday i was late for class and i had an assignment due that morning. so like anyone else would react, i booked it.

i got up to 140km/h in a 80 zone, stupid i know. and the next thing i know i look in my rear view mirror and i see two unmarked police cuisers waiting for me to pull over. my obvious reaction was "shit". so i pull over and the one car took my licence while two other cops came to my window. the one just stood there and stared me down, while the other cop looked around my truck for mods and other things. he found that i had no tail pipe and asked me about it. i said it's in the works and he decided not to give me a ticket, instead he reduced my speeding ticket to 109 in a 80 zone which is 140 bucks and 3 points

and then calmly said, "it's nice to have your licence while you still have it isn't it?" and then walked away.

Just a story i thought i should share.

the important thing is you didn't do 140 in an 80 zone at night, though, right?

**STACKER** · 09-21-2006, 06:12 PM

correct, it was during the day.

**ids748** · 09-21-2006, 07:06 PM

stacker, you are kinda lucky.....at 60km/hr over the limit can't they tow your car?

**Slawek** · 09-21-2006, 10:05 PM

WOw, major offense. Never had one of those!

**Barky** · 09-22-2006, 01:10 AM

I predict flaming of sorts.. but like i told u, u'll only learn the hard way

**MX3Autozam** · 03-30-2007, 01:08 AM

i know this is old but what did you ever do about this.did you fight it or just pay it. i got the exact ticket $140 3 points 109 in a 80zone. I was doing a 116 he said and he said he would be nice and drop it down for me lol wow he sure did drop it down alot. but anyways this is my first tikcet with 5 years driving experience not sure what i should do.

**500k_93_civic** · 03-30-2007, 11:19 AM

he was nice. he dropped it from 36 over, which is 4 points, to 29 over which is 3 points. and he saved you about 100+ dollars.

do what you want, but everyone here is going to say fight it and see if you can get it lowered. personaly i would jsut pay it

**PlatinumTurbo** · 03-30-2007, 11:37 AM

If you fight it, they will bring back the original charge which was 36 over.

**Barky** · 03-30-2007, 01:06 PM

unless u request the $$ amount be lowered because you're a student (are u a student?) they generally have no problem reducing the fine, but the points will stick

although they CAN do this, its not USUAL for them to do it.

**Rad** · 03-30-2007, 01:23 PM

you are lucky cause thats a major conviction, he could have took your license and towed the car.

He is right, I say if its the only ticket you have, go pay it.

**fixitmattman** · 03-30-2007, 01:49 PM

You just got off from 60 over. Pay the ticket, and count your blessings. Normally if they don't take your license at the side of the road for that it's an automatic court date. Be happy it's just a speeding ticket. I doubt I'd be so lucky if I ever got caught doing that.

**500k_93_civic** · 03-30-2007, 02:01 PM

they didn't tow my car, or take my license, and i had a 58 over. it was an automatic court date though.

**Polska_01** · 03-31-2007, 09:10 AM

dont pay the ticket wtf go get a first attendance see if they will drop it lower ! either that or pay it and i think thats a major ticket is it not?

**500k_93_civic** · 03-31-2007, 10:32 AM

no. its a major ticket if its 50 over. he has 39 over. he GOT off 60km over. lucky. i didn't get such a break

FACT: It's been scientifically proven that the more shit you write in here the less cool your car is. Nine times out of ten the majority of people who talk shit down here don't even have any of the crap they talk about on their car. I drive an 8 year old domestic and barely give two shits about it. I beat the hell out of it and it begs for more, just like your girlfriend. Go ahead, cut me off. I dare ya.
