need some advice

[MenteL]

tomorrow i go to see the J.O.P at the rocky m.plaza.

127kmh in a posted 70, ive never had a bad ticket like this before, ever, been pulled over for speeding once 5 years ago almost, im going to say that the floormat got caught on the pedal and i couldnt get it off, and i panicked trying to push on the brakes but the car wouldnt slow down because the pedal was squished down by the floormat everytime i used the brake, or something along those lines. it is a pink ticket (court).....i can pay a fine, i can deal with demerits, i cannot have my liscense suspended. anybody have any advice and insight as to what may happen tomorrow?

Is that an automatic court appearance? Because I was told by the CP that any ticket that is 51 and over results in an apperance before the judge (recently changed). If that is your case, best of luck, I can't offer any advice. :(

My gf got a ticket for 100 in a 50 zone we managed to get that reduce to 2 demerits and a fine of $172. They changed the ticket to 'disobey traffic sign' or something.

how did you get your girlfriends ticket lowered? 50km/h or + is usually a pink slip, no?

Usually reduce your ticket (demerits) and reduce your fine ($). Most people accept the deal right there and get it over with by paying at the cashier. Unless you have an extremely good case (which I don't think you do) I wouldn't bother going to trial.

i hope they can make a deal, i really cant lose my liscense

The JOP doesn't give a shit why you got the ticket. All he wants to hear is guilty or non-guilty. It's the prosector you want to talk to. I recommend not trying to tell any lame excuses like your floormat one. They don't work and they just ruin any chance you have of lowering the ticket.
Just plea bargain with the prosecutor.

i hope you can't make a deal, i really hope you lose your liscense. Lying in court is always a good idea though, let us know how that goes:rolleyes:

I'd have to strongly agree with this statement. Definietly don't use the floor mat excuse, it sounds pretty far fetched. These people deal with excuses for a living. Best of Luck.

You would have a better chance saying your large left tiesticle was resting on the throttle.

haha

I used to know a buddy we nicknamed BLT.
He took a rough sports injury a few years back, and his left nut is now the size of a closed fist. No joke. So he got the nickname Big Left Testicle.

Haven't seen him for a couple years now though....

I think we all have that buddy, My friend was called "gigantinuts".

Back on topic: I fought a 95km/hr in a 50 zone and it was reduced to a "failure to obey traffic signs".

i just told him that the car had a new transmission installed (which i told the cop) and that the cruise control was acting up and sometimes it would be accelerating the car beyond my control, he reduced it to 50 over, now all i do is pay a fine....i keep my liscense :) :clap:

:bullshit: I don't believe he fell for it. #1, who uses cruise control in the city. #2, They usually like to see proof and will tell you to get a check done on the car if it's a mechanical problem.

Otherwise, the guy must have had a lunchtime quickie with his anna kournikova lookalike wife before you talked with him. Either that or he hates his job and just doesn't give a shit anymore. Anyways, you got lucky. But if a fine is all you think you have now, wait till your insurance company finds the ticket. :D

I was wondering how this ended up.

How does the 50 over charge work with 2 demerits. The JOP cant determine how many demerits, it comes with the charge as a combo, with no substitutions.

He cant write you up on a 50 over and say "But I'll give you 2 demerits instead of 6?"

What was the Charge, and I would double check at the registry office...

I GOT GOOD ADVICE.........DON'T SPEED..........That usually works...and in court....tell them you were beating it....and you tried saving it from squriting all over the place........and just the intense time, you had the pedal down to the floor.

^^^^^^ HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH:rofl:

One certified tech uses the best excuse:

He never rips around without his coveralls, and when a cop pulls him over for shunting or anything. He tells them that it's a customers car and it came in for a problem (makes shit up) like the back brakes locked up around corners. So as part of the diagnosis he had to drive it around.

Usually works, on his license it says certified tech. and his coveralls got his name on them.

For speeding he says this-and-this problem happens at this speed.

Most of the time the cop tells him it's not the best place to do these things, and he asks them where is a good place.

It's good, makes sense.
