Speed takes license fast

Our client was charged with reckless driving after being snapped by a speed camera going 53km over the listed speed limit. Our client admitted he was the speeding driver, but wanted to do anything he could to ensure the mandatory minimum license disqualification period. The client completed a traffic offenders’ program and obtained character references to mitigate the sentence over and above his intended early plea of guilty. At sentencing, we were able to persuade the court that the steps he had taken since the offence demonstrated remorse and insight, which moved the Magistrate to impose the minimum disqualification period of 6 months and a substantially reduced fine of $1,500.00.
