I was recently pulled over and recieved some tickets; I need some help. The two tickets I recieved were
~Speeding 30km/hr over the speed limit $177
~Failure to show proof of insurance $172
Some things to know.
I live in Calgary and was pulled over on Crowchild Trail Northbond.
I was insured but I didn't have the proof on me.
I think I was only going between 15-25km/hr over the speed limit.
The cop was in a covert car and was tailgaiting me dangerously close (in my opinion).
He pulled me over in an area that quickly changes from 60km/hr to a 70km/hr to an 80km/hr zone, he pulled me over just before I got to the 80km/hr zone and I believe I was accelerating to 85-95km/hr.
It was late at night and there was few cars on the road but the ones that were there were going faster than me.
And the cop said he clocked me at 100km/hr.
So what I want to know is: What can I do to reduce these fines or completely eliminate them? What should I do when I go to the court? What are the current laws in Calgary and how do they help/hurt me?
Any advice would be very helpful. Thank you.
