Getting Speeding Tickets Reduced

[ryeguy252]

So was pulled over on deerfoot going 131 in a 100. I have my trial date or whatever you call it next week. I want to get my $187 ticket reduced or dermerits not taken off but I heard you can't ask for no dermerits to be taken off?

What excuses can you use or have used that works.

Thanks

If you are a student, say you don't have money to pay for it, that has worked for almost all my buddies who got a speeding ticket, or say you were high

they can lower the demerits but not wipe it off completely, just set a trial date and discuss with the crown.

They might reduce the fine if you talk to the crown or JP but didn't they stop lowering demerits altogether?

YES

I had my ticket lowered from 4 points to 2. My ticket price was lowered from $264 to $172. Oh and I should add its not registered as a speeding ticket anymore

what kind of excuses can you use? ie. you plead guilty and you were going flow of traffic?

So I talked to the crown today, got my $187 ticket reduced to $124 and from 4 dermerits to 3 dermerits (going 31 over is 4 dermerits off, and 30 over is only 3 dermerits off). Kinda fishy how it happened to just be 31 km/h over and not 30kn/h. Worth my 1 1/2 hour wait.

Fellow beyonders, thanks for your help and advice

OK, here's what ended up happening with me this month.

Got in, sat with the Crown. She explain some additional details on my ticket. I explained why I speed. Then she showed me which bracket I was in, in terms of speeding penalties. (29km/h over = $225 + 4 demerits)

She then proceed to say "Here's what I can do for you.", and said she can only bump it down to one bracket down to $124 + 3 demerits. She went on with explaining possible insurance implications, and how to get rid of the demerits through defensive driving courses.

At the end, I accepted and paid for my ticket there. So the conclusion is, the following post regarding the new policy is not as strict as it might sound.
