Why are you confused? If you were speeding - pay it. If you weren't - decide if the cost to prove your innocence is worth the fight.

I second to that.

I have had speeding ticket in the past. Why I got it? Well....of course because I sped. What did I do?
I went to the office, and pay for it.

I wasn't confused at all when I got the ticket.

try x-copper here if they have any branch in Quebec to deal with it. it's not worth if you are going back there just to negotiate.

I had speeding ticket too before with 2 points demerit. I should just pay it if no demerit point. I deal with OTT legal services for $200 and won. no points and I was'nt even charged with the ticket fine.

If i plead gulity and pay i lose 2 points as well which i want to avoid...If there was no points invovled i would certainly pay the ticket but its a different ballgame when there are points invovled...anyone know ticket fighters here who deal with out tickets from a different province? I heard xcoppers are bankrupt too so they can't do it...

if you fight it get local help. The Quebec court system does not usually recognize english, if you are not fluently bilingual you could get yourself in a heap of trouble.

If you don't pay the fine next time your in Quebec they will either tow or boot your car if they find it.

What speed were you going? The 2pts sounds like what a Quebec driver would get on their licence, since there are no speed-related offences in Ontario that get 2 points. You either get 0 points for 15 or less over the posted limit, or it jumps to 3 for 16 to 29 over.

You can fight the ticket and win for the cop not speaking english to you. They have to make sure you understand your rights and why you got pulled over. You need to say he refused to speak english, and you did not understand why you got pulled over.
Unfortunately, it's a little more complicated than that.

Me too

I'm In the same boat as you. My ticket will be 20 months old when I go to court in Dec. I made them send me a ticket in English FUCK THEM. I got my ticket on the 10. The cop wouldn't speak English to me either but i kept telling him I didn't speak French. He finally gave in PRICK. I wanted to punch the prick in the head. He said he clocked me at 140 in 100 at 418 kilometers away what an asshole that's 280 miles some Radar. I was behind a tractor trailer I said to the A hole if I was going 140 I would be in the back of the trailer, and I said if I was going 140 how fast was the tractor trailer going. He said that didn't matter I said it wouldn't be because my vechile had Ontario plates on it that you pulled me over. I looked at my speed because the trailer put his breaks on when he saw him first ,I was behind him I broke too. I said to my wife he's not after me I'm only doing 92. The fucker pulled me over,I made him waite. I have been driving for 35 yrs and never had a speeding ticket. I was going 140 in a Minivan RIGHT. I'll go to court FUCK IT. I'll probably end up in jail those fucking FROGS!! I wish that Province would seperate.

I got one in Quebec last year for doing 120...$169 and 3 points; Hwy. 20 though Quebec City. I still haven't paid it because the cop was a rude fucking prick, absolutely refused to speak English to me and gave me the ticket in French even though I requested it in English. He was pissed that I could not speak to HIM in French. There were three other cruisers there and they had four cars pulled over...ALL Ontario plates! I called them multiple times to request a copy of the ticket in English and JUST received it in July....fuck em', I'll pay it before I drive into Quebec again....if I bother.

I am so sick of these assholes in Quebec. I feel like I'm in another country when I'm there. They have there on rules, while the rest of Canada has to kiss there ass. When are we ever going to get a PM with balls tell those fuckers if you don't like it see yah F off.
Under the Charter Rights you have the right to a trial in your official Language. if not I'll ask for an ajournment and they can reschedule an date. I'll milk it forever.

If I loss I tell the court they got the last pennie from me, I'll drive out of my way and go through the US. I know they won't care I'll have my say.

That province is the biggest waste of tax payers money for years. The East Coast is almost self sufficient like Nfld. Ontario is the have not province what a laugh. The money we poor into that shit hole to keep them happy makes me sick. Then they get all the government jobs because you have to be bilingual. What a crock of shit.

as a matter of fact I have , since Levesque used not withstanding they do not have to provide anything in english. You win when you appeal to the supream court of canada but that is a long road and ususally not worth the time

Tickets are for the most part a cash grab for the tax collector. The intent is to act a deterrent to speed again. If you are concerned about the 2 points and/or the insurance implications, you clearly have not learned your lesson. Pay the ticket, suck it up.

Waaaaaaaaaaaa

Evidently you haven't, because you haven't a fucking clue what you're talking about. The courts in Quebec are bilingual. It's in the Constitution. The notwithstanding clause can only affect ordinary legislation, not the constitution. You're an idiot.

When was the last time you were in a court in rural Quebec? (not counting Montreal)? Ask for English and they will laugh at you.
