Default So i got a speeding ticket...

...And because i live in the province known as "ontario" they have pretty strict driving laws.

So far ive "failed to stop at a stop sign" (3 points)
went 100km/h in an 80km/h speed zone. (3 points)
then that makes 6, and at 6 points you have to go to a meeting and say why you did this stuff etc etc.

So im on my last 3 points that i can have before my license gets suspended.
And then today, i did 96km/h in a 50km/h zone. (4 points)
If i were 4 km/h over what i did, i could have had my car impounded, and a $10 000 fine.

I hate ontario laws,
Anyways thats my story, wish me luck for battling the ticket
Cause ill need it.

I would say good luck but you kinda deserve it. 96km/h in a posted 50km/h. Thats a little outrageous. Whats the hurry? You need to give your head a shake and realize that they are going to take your licence away! I take it you have a G2 license, therefore after 9 points your license is suspended starting the day you surrender it to the MTO. Fail to do so and its bye bye license for 2 years. There will be no meeting, I've been to it and I was the only one to come out with my license out of 12 "kids". Good luck getting your parents to drive you around! It's not a right, It's a privilege!

I may or may have not received a speeding ticket for 80mph in a 55mph once. Was my first and hopefully last ticket. I definetly slowed it down in my car after that and I have always driven the Blazer like a grandpaw so I dont have to worry to much in it.

Good luck with fighting the ticket though. I got off pretty easy since it was my first ever offense but I had too pay a lawyer. It got reduced and then thrown out for improper equipment.

My one and only speeding ticket (i've had about 8 parking tickets for meters running out) i was doing 82mph in a 70mph zone.... kinda BS but its ok, i admitted to the officer i was in the wrong and should not be going that fast, i got written up for 5 over which was no points and $105 US... i was 18 when that happened


Generally, when you get one speeding ticket, you slow down and stay right around the speed limit... But, thats just my common sense kicking in..

I don't have any tickets for a driving offence and I'm 21. But a few others, give you hint, I won't get anymore because now I'm of age to do this now, hehe. On topic, your probably going to loose your license.
