Ok so a couple months ago i was caught doing 89km/h in a 50 zone. Now i know this is speeding but i was picked out of a group of cars all doing around the same speed as me. Also that 50km/h zone i was caught doing 89 in was around 100 meters from the 80 zone, yet again i was picked out of a bunch of cars. Lastly i was pulled over exactly 3.6 km away from where i was caught speeding is that allowed? Should i bring this up in my trial tommorow?

Im in Victoria, British Coulumbia too incase anyone is from there i can tell you the location.

Thanks you if you can help answer anything

Trial? It got to trial? You were speeding, and have admitted it. Pay the fine like everyone else.

TalonPro

No i dont think it is fair when everyone around me was speeding, some where going even faster

On that basis If I go out shooting tourists in the face in DT Calgary should I get away with it??

TalonPro

you should if everyone is doing it why should they pick u out of a crowd of people shooting everyone they should charge everyone not just one person

I don't think whether you think it fair or not will have much bearing on the case. You were speeding; you were pulled over; you were ticketed; you should probably have paid up and got over it.

Good luck in your trial. Your liability for costs will likely be more painful than the fine and the licence endorsement.

Would you be coming forward to say "sorry officer, I was guilty too" if they stopped someone else other than you? You got caught...it happens.

Whats "fair" got to do with it? Everyone speeds, not everyone gets caught. You were caught, so that's just too bad. Too late to say "Just pay the ticket", but maybe the cop wont show up in court...

I guess this is another case of YABWB.

Is there any significance to your user name?

Are you driving a Talon like one of these?



Sort of an invitation to be ticketed especially as you admit you were actually speeding.

You should have just paid the fine instead of feeling put upon.

Sorry no sympathy.

Was it a "construction zone"? If so, you may find the fine is doubled!

I'm sorry to laugh, but I can see you in court stamping your little foot, and wailing "It's not FAIR!!:curse:"

Hey, welcome to the real world! Wake up, smell the coffee....life aint fair...pay the fine, cut your losses and move on (adhering to the speed limit as you do so)...

What really amuses me is when people state speed traps as a reason to leave the UK ..... as if we didn't have them here!
