So I did some searching and the points raised do not cover my situation.
Got my first speeding ticket in 18 years today
Got nailed going 112km in a 90km passing zone going past a slow moving vehicle just outside Williams Lake
The officer who got me was driving towards me and it was bad luck more than a trap.
He dropped the ticket from $192
to $138 and I can knock off another $25 if I pay within 30 days bringing to down to $113.
Here's the description on the ticket:
Description of Offense:
Speed NO SPEED INDICATED anywhere on the form
Section:
146 (3)
Ticketed Amount:
$138.00
Registered Owner Name: They left this blank but did put my name properly on the issued section
Some of the people I know at the hotel here told me that if they do not list any speed on the ticket then you can fight it.
Here are the questions:
Is the ticket even valid if there is not speed indicated.
Since no speed is listed does this just make it a "ticket" and demerit points will not apply? Would I have any grounds to fight this?
Will a ticket that does not list my speed on it affect my insurance as there is not indication of how far over I was?
Those are the questions that come to mind right now. Like I said, never had a ticket and don't know if he lowered this to under 15k over so it's only $$$ or if there are points involved. I can live with the fine but if I can get out of the points that would of course be preferred
