Then the ticket's hardly worth fussing over. Just a small tax on vehicle usage.

That's call this a confession then shall we

And trust me, if traffic cops got a commission on tickets issued, I'd jump ship in an instant.

If nothing else, i'm sure testimony was entertaining in what was likely an otherwise dull day

But you did! ???

I wouldn't be so sure... some of the more ranty ones (paraphrasing: "people in Edmonton are thick, and I am so much better than all of them") were from some time ago. Perhaps he genuinely doesn't understand that he comes across as a complete prat when posting nonsense like this.

To the OP: you were speeding; you were nicked: pay up and shut up.

These people can be totally unreasonable when it comes to this type of thing. Didn't the judge comprehend your sense of outrage and indignation and take that into account? I think you got right royally stitched up mate and I don't blame you for being so pissed off with the system.
It's precisely this kind of injustice that has made me take the bus.

I'd be interested to know how the presence of your son affects the outcome of the speeding ticket......

You are either a troll, or your sense of entitlement is simply outstanding....chalk it up to experience and slow down....believe me there isn't a speed limit for those travelling on their own and a different speed for those travelling with their 'son'.

Maybe Nick Freeman can help you out?

I would suggest you take it up with the UN human rights folks. Or maybe claim refugee status somewhere claiming discrimination from Canadians.

No matter what, you WERE speeding, therefore you deserved the ticket you got...

if you don't want a ticket, don't break the speed limit - it is as simple as that...

IT doesn't matter one iota that you have never received a ticket anywhere else in the world - you were speeding in Alberta, you got caught on camera, you got a ticket...

Suck it up and stop moaning!

I was caught driving in a bus lane last time I was back in the UK. This lane was not a bus lane the last time I had driven along that road, (Greenford BTW). I believe that I should have been informed of the change and so the ticket was not valid.

They sent me a photo of the car to prove it and said that there was a video as well. I think this is an outrageous waste of public finances. What should I have done?

PS There was no snow at the time but I did notice that the Harvester pub was now a different brand. This was distracting

Thanks for your post, Kiwilass.

Maybe I should not bother sharing my interesting experience in Canada with my compatriots.

This cannot be for real

I think that anyone should be allowed to do any speed that they want to do in any part of Alberta. At least it will help you to leave the place quickly.

As Oakvillian said, if you can't do the time, don't commit the crime.

I speed, and I've not got a ticket for speeding yet. But that's probably a combination of luck and my extensive use of the safety car principle.

At 75 in a 60 you were 25% over the limit and therefore should accept the ticket and pay it.

In response to Fleds post, I think you should maybe have downloaded some statistics from the internet (number of busses in bus lanes, pubs that change name that kind of thing), and fought it with every bone in your body.

Then when you lose you should move to another country.
