he didn't explain anything to you? Like where to go to pay or fight it? Maybe you can get it overturned based on that.

I know here you can get a ticket over turned if they do something minute on the ticket like mis-spell your name, so i'm sure you could get it over turned for not explaining anything.

the officer should of told you all this (think it is 4 points)
he should/will also give you info on how to pay/fight it,

never needed to use x-copper so sorry don't know how good they are, but their fee's + court fee's you will prob. end up paying more then the ticket...

there was a snow fall here for the 1st time in maybe a month....lots of accidents...probably why

a ticket in russia for speeding at 140 is 140 rubles or about 4 USD....I could get pulled over 40x before i reach my fine....I think its about time canada got with the world standard..

Um, yeh. Maybe you should just pay, seeing as you were clearly speeding.

I'm on my Provisional 1 licence, so if I get caught twice for even the most minor speeding offences, I lose my licence. If it's double demerits, I'm gone after one offence.

There are a few really nice bobbies and then .... there is most of the force (that word is a bit misleading now).

Gone are the days of mutual respect between people and the police, particularly drivers :x , except a few good bobbies.
