MPH .. In NY if you get a ticket for speeding you should go to court.
Here in Ontario there are three options... voluntarily plead guilty and pay the fine, plead guilty and grovel to the JP as to why you should have the fine reduced and third, plead not guilty and have a trial.
Thing is, with the insurance company a conviction is a conviction. Up to 29 over it's three points not 4 as it is over if you're pinched over 30. So I would be going through the bother to reduce 1 demerit point, and save a few bucks on the fine. Either way there'll be an insurance impact (I think...)
Not sure what I should do. I got the ticket about two hours away from home so there's the expense of getting up there (to plead) to consider.
On some of our more major provincial roads (non-freeway) have periodic passing lanes. I was the first one behind a slow-poke (ie speed limit) and as soon as we came upon the passing lane, I gunned it. I MAY have been going even faster, but I saw him in ambush and hit the brakes. Why would they engineer these passing lanes into the highways if they didn't want people using them...
As far as the DIC goes, there should be a tab where it calculates the difference between the posted speed (this info must be built into the navigation system for it to determine routing) and your travelling speed. It should begin to flash if you exceed a certain difference...
