Hi there,
I was recently pulled over on the highway (100 posted limit) for speeding. I was told I was clocked at 125km/hr(!), however I expected maybe 110km/hr based on my speedo when I looked down after I saw them (and their lights).
I confirmed their radar was reading 125 roadside, however, I wasn't convinced so I checked my dash cam footage later that day and the max speed recorded on my vid was 111km/hr in the few minutes leading up to the police vehicle.
To contest this, is it as easy as attending a court hearing with my dash cam footage and have it reduced from a +20km fine (4pts $435) down to a -13km fine (1pt, $174). Or should I be trying to deal with it prior to traffic law court? i.e. write a letter or visit police station?
