Be Responsible – Respect the Speed Limit

Friday, April 24th, 2009

Hello Everyone,

It’s that time of year when small Cafés and Terraces open in Ottawa and the rest of Ontario. Naturally, this includes long sunny days, festivals, barbecues … and speeding.

Unfortunately, every year at this time of year in Ottawa and elsewhere in Ontario, speeding causes too many fatal accidents.

I often write about costly fines, demerit points, and license suspension … but the consequences caused by speeding go well beyond that. We are talking about death, severe disabilities, and amputations…

But make no mistake; the culprits are not always those we assume to be … in other words … kids! Speeding is committed by men and women of all ages. So stop laying the blame on others and assume your part.

This was my little message of the week. No promoting Traffic Ticket Advisory Services, no bla bla’s, just a small message to those at the Steering Wheel: just remember that you’re not alone on the road, so stop speeding!

The best solution !

In Ontario, is just hiring any licensed paralegal/lawyer the best solution to defending a speeding ticket? Maybe not … but, hiring a licensed paralegal/lawyer in Ontario who specializis in defending a speeding ticket considerably increases your chances of winning.

Is it wise to fight a speeding ticket when a paralegal/lawyer will charge you at least $500 to defend you? In Ontario, contesting a speeding ticket and losing can raise your insurance premium up to $5000 a year and in some cases even lead to a suspension of your driver’s licence. So, should you pay $500 to someone who specializes in defending speeding tickets? You bet.

Hiring such a paralegal/lawyer makes sense when contesting a speeding ticket.

Such paralegals/lawyers have the acquired experience in defending a speeding ticket and also have a thorough understanding of the Ontario Judicial System. This paralegal/lawyer knows exactly how to prepare a case.

What does such a paralegal/lawyer know that a non-specialized paralegal/lawyer may be missing? For example, someone who specializes in defending speeding tickets has a deep knowledge of how, in Ontario, speed is measured and the process by which a speeding ticket is issued. The other paralegal/lawyer may not…

Someone who specializes in defending speeding tickets also knows the weaknesses and the strengths of each apparatus used, in Ontario by the various law enforcement agencies, in measuring the speed of moving motor vehicles which is the basis for the issuing of the speeding ticket. The ‘other’ paralegal/lawyer…well…

I believe that there is no better way of increasing you chances of winning in Ontario when contesting a speeding ticket, than by hiring someone who specializes in defending speeding tickets in Ontario, and who specializes in Motor Vehicle Law and the Highway Traffic Act of Ontario.
