Got my first ticket, speeding 129 in a 100 zone.
Can someone please recommend a good ticket fighter?
Is Redline still one of the top?
Thanks!

Just represent yourself, but otherwise I've heard nothing, but good things about Redline.

Never pay any ticket, even if your guilty. FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT.

Today at 1pm
Hwy 404 s/b richmond hill
Speeding 129 in a posted 100 zone
Sect 128
Reduced
Was going down the hill south of 407
Cop at its usual spot right between 407 and 7
I was in the 3rd lane from the center (cop-hov-gap-lane 1-lane 2 (me))
Never been pulled over before until today
Lots of cars in front of me and to the left of me. I was surprised he saw me since there were so many cars and my car is quite low too.
No incident when pulled over. Just told me to be careful, do the trial option, and that he'll see me in court. His partner also told him to give me a ticket for no plate validation sticker on the plate permit but I explained that its a replacement permit and the clerk never gave me back the sticker so he said he'll cancel that in court.
I'll probably hire Redline unless there someone's better or cheaper and just as good.

First ticket? Go to court, talk to the crown, get it reduced, stop speeding.
Also they can't drum up any extra charges in court, they are full of shit.

Op already had the notion of PAYING to have the ticket fought for him, so he would be paying regardless.

^ He also got a new car - so anything goes.
Forget ticket fighter - do it yourself. By the time you pay a ticket fighter (which they can't guarantee no points any more) and the reduced fine they will get you - it'll cost as much as (if not more) than if you lost in court and you have to pay the ticket in full.
The only caveat is since the ticket was reduced on the spot, the courts will have the right to bring back the full charge if you contest it.
I got my 43 km/h over ($300+ fine, 4 points) down to a disobey sign charge ($100, 2 points) - Redline, X-copper wanted $500 to do the work that I did myself.

This
^^ You are forgetting, the punitive factor in the ticket is not the fine, its the insurance hike for 3 years. You NEVER pay the ticket, always fight it.
And this too. If it was a more serious offence, then yes hire one of those guys. But imagine the cop doesn't even show up, now you've paid someone $500 for doing absolutely nothing.

To the insurance companies speeding is speeding be it 1 or 100 over they don't care and they don't look at demerit points.There not going to raise your rates unless they go into your file,unless you had and accident or claim they wont bother,its cost them money to do so. Fight it yourself,most of these ticket guys only get it reduced,something you can do yourself.

Well ... Here's the thing ... It's not a black/white answer, hence why people ask this all the time ...
I've used RedLine about 3-4 times (yes, I'm a tard), using their 'all-covered' option, or whatever it's called (1 fee, everything's covered.)
They always ask me why I bother fighting it, especially if I don't have other tickets/issues with my driving history ...
Fact is, you're paying $7-800 upfront, which spread out across 3 yrs, is about $250... Will your insurance increase by $250 the year following the accident, if you were found guilty? Depends on many factors ...

forgot to mention - even though i got nailed for that 2 points (court date was Aug 2010) - we made a claim later on that year (100% other guy's fault - got into a minor rear-end accident) - our insurance didn't go up in those 2 years (thank goodness);
so i may've dodge the bullet this year when it comes off my record (insurance renewal at end of Aug) - we'll see...

Redline is great, i wouldn't use them for this petty shit.
If you are with TDMM this is considered a minor so it won't affect your insurance.
I'd go in myself and just hope cop doesn't show up. If he does just say it's your first ticket, you are sorry and won't do it again. They will lower the fine and charge and you will be on your way.

It was in the S5. If I didn't back off due to a bad feeling, I would've been car-less for a few days.
I've been driving for 10 years and this is the first time being pulled over (for something stupid... speeding on a long weekend).
Instead of Redline, can someone suggest someone to represent me and plead bargain? I rather pay someone to go to Newmarket to file for a trial, request disclosure and then show-up for a trial. I know I can do this myself but its time vs money.

Everyone should try 11(b) to fight off tickets that are dragging on
York region is pretty quick.
I got nailed Mar. 2010 - court date was Aug. 2010
Got nailed again in January 2013 (rolling stop, but they charged me w/ no paper work), had to go to Newmarket to file my option (first attendance) - that was in March.
At least the courthouse is close to my house. lol

) anyways. he let me check it out and this guy ran a tight ship. I even asked him to clarify with me where he nailed me at(distance). I had gone on previous days to take measurements since it was a bit of a weird downhill/turn section(also used google maps to verify,took photos). I had in my mind the distance window he had to have..and sure enough his value was bang on in the window(Also had the calibration time on it etc) No way I could really beat it, plus it was already reduced a tad(from 13 over or something). I just ended up pleaing guilty.
