This was a common tactic in New Yorkistan traffic courts. Request a few adjournments, hoping that the officer is a no-show when the trial comes up because of a shift rotation or reassignment.....

Back in the 1990's, I know first-hand that a certain southwestern state had a similar law. The nice officer dropped an 82 MPH in a 55 MPH zone down to 72 MPH, because we were running late to a charity/public awareness press appearance and he didn't want to cuff our driver and impound the car. Even so, the ticket included a significant state "brain injury" fine for being 15+ over.....

If convicted there is the possibility for up to 30 days in jail, but I don't think anyone has ever been sent to jail for this offence, also at court you can have your licence suspended for an additional year besides the automatic road side suspension. And they just ammended this law so that if you are 40KMH over the limit in a speed zone below 80KMH you will be charged. Last edited by Murf993; 10-25-2021 at 09:21 AM.. |

There is always that. I always exercised my discretion, some folks make mistakes and the fines might be the family groceries for the week so I always tried to treat people fairly who deserved a break. But you're right, there are lots of ass hats out there who need the big stick. I miss dealing with those folks.

I got the cruise control set to 100 and didn't touch the gas or brake for over an hour. I didn't know those things could go that fast. Yowzah. |

He naturally asked if I felt I needed to do 40 over in a 60 or less. Soooo....no...I don't *need* to. But there are times and places is my point. If I'm in town or in a neighbourhood / school zone, no, and actually I try very hard to do less than 10 over at most in these cases. But there are far too many side roads in Ontario that are (IMO) improperly marked at 60, when they should be 80. And I'm ok with the 50kmh over rule (more or less), but the 40km/h law bugs me for some reason. I think it is just because I suspect it will get progressively tighter, instead of doing anything at all about making licensing harder. |

I was stopped doing over 30mph in NY a few years ago. Officer told me that normally he would handcuff and put me in jail, but since I'm from IL he's going to write a ticket.
I didn't want that moving violation in my record, so started looking for lawyers, etc. in the area, but no one sounded promising, so decided I'll send it to court and try my luck. Luckily I got a mail a few weeks later, stating that I don't have to show up for court, but instead was offered to pay 2 parking tickets = 200$. Lucky me I guess, but lesson learned. |
