Hey guys, I've been researching on how to get out of my traffic fine on the net and I found this site. I thought maybe you guys could give me some input.
So, tonight I got a fine for going 83 in a 50. Thing is it is a permanent construction zone, it is usually 80 on the road, (Sacree Trail and Bow trail intersection for those in Calgary) but there were no construction workers there tonight (Sunday night). There is that new law that doubles all speeding tickets received in construction zones, around tow trucks and emergency vehicles and whta not to protect these poeple. But like I said, this law only applies to construction zones when there are construction workers present and there weren't. But the cop charged me double anyways.
Here is a link that states this new law:
http://www.gov.ab.ca/acn/200510/1898...CDBA00788.html
So I know that I can definately reduce this ticket down to the half price (currently it is $354, double the normal fine for 30 over). But, is there anyway I can get out of it completely because the officer messed up the ticket? If not, do I plead not guilty and get a date set up or go to the court date stated on the ticket and plea my case?
Thanks in advance guys.
Mike
If my explanation isn't clear let me know and I'll try to explain it a bit clearer.
