FIne on speeding, lost 6 points.

sky_water · 发表于 2008-9-18 08:31

I recently got a ticket, becuase of speeding. I was going down into the tunnel (a down hill) and changing lane at the same time. So I went over the speed limit, I lost 6 point and got a fine of 488$. But the police said it was 40 km more. I was driving 94km according to her and the limit was 50. But I like to protest against this fine, I don't really mind the money part but the points are important for me, since I'm on probationary liscence. Does anyone have any knowledge on what's going to happen to my liscence and if I could actually protest to argue that I went over the limit but not 40km more, because we have a 10km moreorless policy!!!!
Help from the experienced please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

如果警察是用测速仪测的话,那就是证据确凿了, 他给你开的ticket上的速度应该会写少一点,但他在自己留底的记录上会写上当时实测的速度, 以及当时的天气,路面是否湿滑一类的细节,你要是上庭的话,会看到这些资料的.

上庭的时候警察不一定会出庭, 有时是警方律师代表出庭,如果你看到的是律师代表,那基本上没赢的可能了.

上庭就是碰一下运气, 案子可以拖一年左右. try your luck

My friend is a police, he may appeal for you but I think he will charge you for that.

The speed limit is 50, it means you can drive at less than 60, it's ok, no problem.
But if you drive at 94, it means you exceed the limit by 44, you won't have a chance to argue with that.

I don't want to plea not guilty, I just want to state that I should get a ticket of speeding, not the double the dermit points I should get. Because I can argue that I if someone driving 60 will be overlooked, why can they make it a normal speeding fine!!

There are only 2 judgments – guilty or not guilty.

Guilty – then you need to pay the $488 fine and loose 6 points.

Not guilty – you don’t responsible for the consequence.

Quite Right!!

This argument is useless. You may not think about is any more.
