Tell me what you are going to do when "you got an excellent job, but that requires you to go down to US for meeting". In my previous job, I even need to drive down to WA for meetings and work.
While you may not "like" to go to US, but things not always go along with your will.
you should dispute it while you still have the chance. If you choose to ignore it and think you will not just go to US now, when the time passes and if you need to go to the states, you cannot dispute anymore and more interests accumulated, you will need to pay more.
My car doesn't have MPH on its speedometer (only KM/H). A friend of mine was using this excuse when the US cop stopped him but I forgot if he was able to get away with it.
I guess if you are 10 MPH over the speed limit, the cop may just give you a warning if your speedometer doesn't have the MPH marking. Just use common sense and don't be the fastest one on the road...
I agree just go ask for a fine reduction. If you have clean record in BC, use that as a point. Use whatever reason you could think up of.
However, I don't see how "not familiar with MPH vs KPH" as ...

I thought she said she was driving 90 mph at a 70 mph zone, which isn't that outrageous. Won't even be considered as excessive (30km/hr above) speeding up here in the great white north??? I mean you can count the percentage of cars doing 110+20~30 on the Coquihalla the next time you drive to Kelowna, it's gonna be quite a few.
Besides, lots of cars do 20 mph above on the I5, so she won't be passing people as if she's doing Gumball 3000. At max she's passing vehicles, but nothing very outrageous either. It's speeding and definately a speeding ticket if caught tho.
What's PITA is that 'fail to yield to emergency vehicle' bit.... gd luck.
Well, maybe not passing everyone and I don't consider she is that outrageous (I have been doing worse). But if I were driving 90mph in 70mph zone, I wouldn't need to look at my "meter" to know that I'm well over the speed limit. So just using the unfamiliar meter reading as excuss is pretty lame, I consider.
You should ask your dad to pay for it, since he asked you to drive to the US, and he didn't try to slow you down when you were speeding.

caffie老豆唔可能成日o係佢身邊提佢 "阿囡你咩咩咩做得唔岩呀！"咁架。大佬超成20mph呀唔係20kph呀，佢係"putting herself & her father in danger"，本身已經好唔負責任，你要飛要搵命搏就好啦，唔好累人，仲要係屋企人tim﹖萬一有咩事點算﹖果千鬆d 蚊咪少事囉！萬一真係出事有人傷左點算﹖
