So the other day I got a ticket for not stopping at a stop sign. I just didn't see it, and got pulled over T.T now I'm wondering if anyone has any advice on whether or not I should go to the court hearing. I'm 19 still on a GDL and got a speeding ticket a few months ago. Other than that I have done nothing wrong. Should I bother going?

Yeah, go to the court hearing and admit your guilt, saying you're sorry and it won't happen again etc and you'll probably save some money.

Ouch, a speeding ticket a few months ago? In America that would be two moving violations within 18 months, in which case you wouldn't be able to erase this second violation from the records and your insurance would go up. Not sure how it is in Canada.

Go to court. =/

Take it to court. Say youre guilty. All you really can do for it. Got pulled over once for 47 in a 45 and the cop said i was doing 60. Cops can be dicks sometimes

got my first ticket for rolling at a stop sign. sucks, i know. just get a lawyer to change it to a illegal parking so it's not a moving violation. saved me money with insurance but i had to do driving school.
Is it in you?

What part of Canada? I only know a couple people that have ever gone through a stop sign, and there wasn't any court hearing involved.

I know from experience that two speeding tickets automatically enrolls you into a couple hour course that you have to take so it doesn't involve losing points, or paying even more money. Not sure if the speeding ticket + going through a stop sign might result in the same thing.

I'd go to the hearing though.

depending on the location of the stop sign he could have killed himself or someone else.

if it was in a parking lot of something than that sucks

if you don't feel confident representing yourself, you can get a traffic lawyer to represent you.
They usually get the whole ticket wiped clean, especially if it's your first offense.

Can't remember if you're from calgary or edmonton, but if you're in calgary, I got a guy I can recommend.

Lol. I've ran through stop signs before (on accident). Luckily there were no cops around.

Since you brought up the subject let me tell you what happened to me yesterday. I was going 60 in a 35 right infront of a cop (his car didn't look like a cop car) so i pull into the gas station and suddenly me and my brother hear sirens. The next thing i know a cop is stepping out of the car behind me. So Im like fuck but i act cool. he says hes detective bla bla bla and that i was going 60 in a 35 (Im also wearing headphones) he asks for license and insurance i have a stack of papers in my glove compartment hes like "yah you're fine usually when people have a stack of papers in there they have insurance" so he comes back to me and tells me its $100 for speeding and $100 for wearing headphones, but he says he won't write me up because its not the end of the world and he could understand that I "fucked up". Honestly I learned that if you respect the officer who pulled you over they will usually respect you back.

As far as going to court. Do not I repeat, Do not do a hearing by mail. You will make a better case if you are there in person.

just go to court. say something on the lines of "i feel sincerely guilty for what i have done and i will not repeat this offense, nor will i violate any other traffic law etc." just be sorry.

Every time people talk about running through a stop sign, I imagine they actually crashed into a stop sign.

Either way, you need to learn how to drive...

In America you can do a trial by written declaration and if that fails then go to court. In either instance, if the officer fails to respond or show up, you get an auto-win; if the cop appears in court you can immediately plead guilty. There are other ways to stall and defend yourself, but depends on the particular state.

This guy got past the 100 post count how?

People said this in the thread already, but take it to court and says you're guilty. Judges ain't out to get you, they'll be easier on you if you show sincerity and respect. If you're lucky you'll saved some money, if you're really lucky maybe the judge would take it off the record for ya

If you pay a lawyer enough money you can usually get off of any minor offense completely clean, or the ticket thrown out. Can be quite expensive though.
