Totalled my car....need advice from you guys

[wiggaplz]

I got 4 demerits from the cop for "following too close". If I get these 4 demerits convicted, i'm hooped, that means 8 demerits and my license is suspended for like 3 months I believe.

I CAN'T have that happen.

What can I do? My court date is December 01....could I come in tomorrow and maybe get it reduced to 3 demerits?

What can I do and what should I do?

Please help guys. Thanks.

Go in tomorrow and speak with the Justice of Peace and you can get it reduced to 3 or maybe even 2 demerits!

Best of luck! and no more "following too close" tickets as its for your own safety!

my thoughts,

1)call Pointts and have them find a way to reduce the ticket,

2)If you have had you licence for over a year, take your advanced road test, bumping your allowable demerits to 14

I actually wasn't following too close. I don't want to get into it, but I did rear end the guy. Let's just say I wasn't following too close. Anyway, the officer wasn't even a witness to the scene. I don't get how he can issue such a ticket? Fuck man.

So can you tell me how I go about getting this dicket reduced. Do I have to hire a lawyer or anything or will they just call me up and I will have to go up to the front and explain what happened.

What happens during these proceedings?

Because obviously you were doing something wrong... be happy he didn't slap you with careless driving, speeding etc etc...

Get points or I use A traffic ticket defense. They always help me out and I have a 100 percent clean record. Pay for someone to take care of it, especially if you are young it will be cheaper in the long run.

hey fellas, how do I go about doing this?? Do I plead Not guilty to those cashiers or plead guilty or what? Not sure how I go about doing this. I don't want to procrastinate so I want to get this cleared up right away, then I can buy a beater so I can get through Calgary's hellish winter.

Anyway, elaborate a little bit more guys. Or any other advice is generally appreciated.

Thanks fellas.

I think you mean Crown Prosecutor...a justice of the peace will do fuck all unless you want to change your name or get married.

talk to the CP see if they will do anything. if not go to your court day plead innocent they will give you a date to come back, hire points or similar to defend you in court.

if you totalled your car by rear ending someone, you must have been going pretty fast... and doin something wrong.

I would have put it more politely, but yeah, what he said.

If you weren't too close, you wouldn't have rear ended them, unless you were distracted by something, in which case, you would have gotten a careless driving ticket.

For the safety of every around you, please no more purple nurples in the vehicle.

You Don't get your license suspended unless u get 15 demerits, not 8 and the first time is a 1 month suspension then 3 then 6 then 1 year.

I have gone through 1 month and 3 months and im sitting at 13 demerits, so trust me i know . I can't even get one more ticket or im toast for 6 months.
