me too please since OP was technically doing excessive speeding under section 148(1) and the fine was written down and it is within the authority of the judge to increase the fine. so fine could possibly double.
i hate to say it be the days of the technical outs of tickets are gone...what we do not have is the abilitiy like i am sure OP knows ot negotiate down a speeding ticket to an infraction like parking in front of a hydrant in which case the local prosecutor will know that the money from this lesser offence that MIGHT be more in $$$ goes locally versus the speeding fine that does not. so in the USA there appears to be more interesting options but not in BC and not in Ontario. [and may not attract points to increase insurance costs...i am sure this attorney is going to espouse this benefit]
