if you were doing 90mph then you are driving at >140 km/h.  even if you are in CAnada it won't be cheap either.  i think you should pay the speeding ticket and dispute the $1000 ticket.

Drive slower next time.  Not familiar with MPH vs KPH is never a valid excuse in front of the cops.  As other said, you were way over the posted speed limit...

You should request to go to court and explain your situation and try to find a reason that it's unsafe to yield at that time so you could not possibly yield the police car.  From some websites, someone stated that the police might even lie how much miles you continue to travel to not to yield.  

Do not say you already yield but the police still ticketed you because it's more likely the judge will believe him than you.

As far as I know, the police actually doesn't need to come.  Instead, they would provide a details report of the incident.  The lawyer actually can make up all kind of technical supports, to make the ticket not valid!

you can try to make a similar case to this..

saying that you are not yielding because you know the police is pulling you over and you were in left lane and you want to make sure it's safe to change to right lane and find a safe place to stop the car.

I agree just go ask for a fine reduction.  If you have clean record in BC, use that as a point.  Use whatever reason you could think up of.

However, I don't see how "not familiar with MPH vs KPH" as a reason since you're driving ~140 and must be passing almost everyone else on the HW already.

I believe most speeders could spot the cop when they pass him.  So most will immediately slow down and cops seldomly need a long chase.  While, in your case, you don't know where the cop tagged you and where he started to follow you.  You are in a bad situation to argue.
