Reply to "Speeding Defense?"

Beautifuly in-car shot Deeb. The new high-tech interior looks great.

As far as fighting the ticket goes ... There is a book available called "Fight that ticket in the province of Ontario" (paperback). It may be for the Province of Ontario but the tips could be equally applicable in Quebec.

I have successfully fought all my tickets using the techniques described in the book. For example: Normally, exceeding the speed limit must be substantiated over a fixed distance at a constant speed. (The accepted norm is 1/4 mile). This is done, so as to remove the defence argument of errors in the police measurement technique. eg. You can ask the policeman over what distance was the measurement and how many measurements were taken. You can argue that the movement by the radar, policecar, etc. in a non-steady state may have contributed to an erroneous reading on the part of the police (more and other details in the book).

In all cases it is worth while to take it to court. Usually the prosecutors would rather save the courts' time and offer you a plea-bargain. You can then negotiate a more acceptable penatly if you pled guilty.

I wish you luck.
