I never knew about that, I think my court date is passed 11 months by a couple of days or so. Im going to be sure to mention it to my lawyer or whatever these guys are called.

Btw, for insurance purposes you must get the ticket thrown out totally without a conviction. They don't care if you were speeding 15 km/hr over, ie no points or 49 km/hr over. It's still a conviction on your record so pleading the ticket down (which is what many ticket fighters do) is useless, you need to get off with no conviction.

It's referred to as an Askov delay. Stems back to this,

If your old enough, you will remember when some 7000 cases were tossed out because of this. Rape, assault cases etc. everything but murder cases.

I went with these guys. www.charged.ca
My ticket is still in court so i'll see how it goes, but from what I've heard, from a couple people who have gone with them, is that they really fight to the last straw to win the case for you.
Take a look at some of their case studies on the site.
I also got caught in a spot I always know about, stupid Allen Road
Fight Smart! Never Give up!

Do I get a t-shirt with that line if they win?

http://www.speedzones.com/radar_detector_detectors.html

In Canada, only three provinces allow the use of radar detectors being, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and British Columbia. Section 79 of the Ontario Highway Traffic Act spells out the penalties for operating a radar detector in this Canadian province including confiscation and a fine up to $1,000. World-wide, many governments ban radar detector use.

I've only ever heard of them smashing the detectors on the spot, I don't know anybody who's actually gotten a ticket.

I have a detector at home, but I rarely end up using it. Paying attention to technology distracts me from watching out for the cops with my eyes.
