I just got a speeding ticket for going 131 km's in a 100 zone. (I am in canada). It's my first ticket ever in 6 years of driving and I am going to try to plead not guilty and not have to pay or at least get the ticket reduced if possible. Here are 2 things: I just quit smoking yesterday so I am totally not thinking clearly and also i was on my way back from a doctors appointment where I had a lump cut out of my leg. I am wondering do you think either of those would work as an excuse? I really do think that is why, I never speed and my brain was just all over the place thinking about these things. Comon quitting sux, someone should feel compasionatly right?! Any experiences, advice would be great. Please help me!!

All of your answers suck! Comon hasn't anyone ever heard of trying to fight a ticket! We in Canada fight tickets all the time and I THINK IT IS WORTH IT TO TRY BECAUSE I HAVE A PERFECT DRIVING RECORD. They will see that and realize it is out of character and reduce the fine. Geez almost anything works! You are all boring.

Fight them all the way, I say! You have mitigating circumstances with the quitting of smoking; I tried it once and I couldn't even sleep.
If you are lucky, you might get a judge who is quitting or has quit.

I honestly don't think that either excuse will get you out of the ticket. You made a mistake, so take the consequences. If you need to pay the ticket, maybe you'll be more careful next time. Those excuses don't excuse you from putting people's lives in danger or your own life in danger. Slow down, hot foot!

I wouldn't use them.
They will only throw back at you that if you were not fit for driving then you shouldn't be driving. This is a mental thing as well as a physical thing.
Just pay the ticket, and then watch your speed.

You were speeding - they don't care why, nor should you bring any of this up in court. Plead guilty, pay the fine and if you cannot concentrate, you shouldn't be driving to begin with; you're putting yourself and others at risk.

nicely you got to be sparkling which you felt it grew to become into risk-free exchange lanes (as you needed to alter lanes besides) yet in doing so which you had to advance up a sprint so which you wouldnt hit anybody. you consistent with probability might additionally say you had all purpose of resuming the published velocity shrink after your lane exchange grew to become into finished. the actuality of the concern is nevertheless make in case you have been going above the published velocity shrink, then your breaking the regulation, and there is not any elasticity the that regulation there are some factors of states that do have a suggested/advisory velocity shrink/assumed velocity shrink....

pay the fine -- it is not worth the trouble to offer excuses.
