should i dispute my speeding ticket? speeding, ticket, dispute

cinderelly

i was clocked driving 105kph at an 80kph zone =(
this is actually my first speeding ticket throughout my 7+ years of driving.
so i guess i do have a clean record
should i dispute my ticket and ask to have the fine ($196) reduced when i go to court?
what are my chances of getting away with this ticket and/or getting a fine reduction?

any suggestions are welcome~ thank you =D

cinderelly

oh and i also want to ask that..
i plead guilty (i admit that i was speeding), but will disputing it just to request for a reduction be deemed as unreasonable? it's not considered a bad/wrong thing to do is it..?

thanks again~~

mo ah ><~ i told him it's my first time. and my mom was next to me and she asked if i could have a 2nd chance and he was like nope. but he wasn't mean or rude geh. actually he was kind of nice and quite polite. he told me i could dispute my ticket...
105 on highway 都唔算快啦~ ><

oh so that means i can dispute the fine then..!~?
=( the thought of going to court makes me so nervous already!!

cinderelly

i was kind of glad that my mom was with me cuz i was just thinking not too long ago that i've never had a speeding ticket. so i gotta be prepared that i'd get one sooner or later...
okay it came sooner than i expected =p

oh and i should add i was on hwy 91 east bound (from richmond to new west). there were at least 3 cops with their radars by the place where ppl from knight street merge out to hwy 91. that's the section of hwy 91 where the speed limit is 80 instead of 90. so many ppl were caught there as well =( be careful la everyone~~

Agree  

o的 RCMP 自己都話如果你唔超過max. speed的  30 km/h 會let you go....in your case, max. speed 係 80 km/h, 如果你唔超過  110 km/h 應該俾你走架wor....

如果俾我就有呢個做法, dispute  ...

hai ah >< my bf has disputed his tickets too but we heard it's a lot tougher now. he's not really nervous about going to court but i'm extremely nervous..
do i get away with the ticket for sure when the cop doesn't show up? that was what we thought but for my bf's last ticket (just a month ago) we went to court down in bellingham and the cops did not show up but ppl still needed to pay although some had their fines reduced..

cinderelly

ya, dispute both fine and allegation.

how do i dispute the violation...? i WAS over the limit........ wouldn't the cop have some sort of evidence/record from his radar..?

cinderelly

i'm not thinking of trying to dispute the violation. cuz okay.. i WAS over the speed limit. i'm just wondering if it's worth it to dispute the ticket to ask for a fine reduction =p i AM a student still and working part time.
even if the cop doesn't show up, i don't think i can say to the judge "i was not speeding". i don't really want to lie =\ i really just want to see if i can pay less ja..
and just the thought of going to court makes me really nervous already..

thank you everyone for your input =) i'll think about it for a few more days =p
