I BELIEVE YOU DON'T HAVE TO PAY IT....TAKE IT TO COURT, AND JUST SAY HEY, I NEVER SIGNED IT.

I can't believe you got a ticket for going only 2 km over????     That's well within the error tolerance/accuracy of speedometers, radar guns, etc.

The cop must have been having a hard day, for them to ticket you.    It's a B.S. ticket. 

No judge will accept your guilt for only 2 km over.   The cop handed you a nuisance ticket.   What a waste of time!

Did you pis* off the cop for him to give you a ticket?

No offense but I dont believe that a cop would pull you over for only going over by 2km/h

I drive that stretch everyday as I live in Maple Ridge and work in Abby. Speed limit is 80km/h until you hit Silverdale. So if you were in Silverdale going 82 you would get a ticket as the speed limit is 60 km/h

Hmmm that sucks...

Last sunday I got pulled over for tailgating, going 30 km/h over the speed limit and no N on the back of the car. The cop ended up only giving me a warning on the tailgating and let everything slide and no fines  :o Don't know what I did right or for that matter to deserve that much grace, but it would have costed me BIG and I probably would have lost my licence for 2 years or so...

I can't believe he would pull you over for 2 kmh over. What is even worse is writing you a ticket for it instead of giving you a warning, ouch. Either a very bad day or a very harsh cop, good thing the coppers are nice over here  ;D

Tonight I passed by them doing 90 but they must have been busy writing your ticket as they didn't notice me. Would have been a real kick in the pants to get a ticket after battling those ugly chums all days.  :D

Also, on the ticket should be the fine for the speeding infraction. From BB2000's post you should be able to determine how far over the speed limit you were. If you were  only 2 kms over the limit, and you can take the time off to dispute the ticket then you stand a good chance.  However, do your homework, make sure you find out the speed limit for the area, and the exact spot the cop issued the ticket at. Good luck.

Also, even though some traffic cops won't admit it, some municipalities have a quota system in place. A minimum amount of tickets have to  be written up each month. And guess what we are coming up to the end of the month.

Doesn't matter whether you sign the ticket or not, it will still stand up in court.

Agree. The signature merely indicates that you have received the ticket. No admission of guilt implied.
