just pay the ticket.... not worth all the hassle to dispute and having outstanding warrant is gonna haunt u back some day

Another thing I just noticed on the ticket is that... under violation it says I'm going over 30mph. The cop told me I was going 20 over! I don't think it's fair for me to pay the ticket because it seems like the cop is trying to take advantage of us stereotyped "nice Canadians". I still think he lied to me about having his sirens on for two miles, because if they were on, my sister or dad would had heard it.. however, I was the first one to notice the cop behind me. If I pay the $1500+, I am not only throwing money away, but I'd also lose my dignity.

have you dispute the ticket yet?  get you dad & sis as your witnesses

if you don't deal with it (pay, or dispute in court) but choose to ignore it, you will lose more dignity and $.

It will be stupid to be classified as a criminal for $1500.  If you grow up and ever get a job requiring you to goto US for business, you will be doomed.  (let alone you can kiss all the US colleges goodbye).

Get your priority straight!

同意daimo既講法.....

tofu你要諗諗連交通意外你同車入面既passenger都唔可以做witness，我諗呢個情況你同車入面既人唔可以同個官講你地聽唔到siren...

caffie講到尾妳有冇speeding﹖你係冇speeding既，另外呢千幾蚊既ticket已經唔會有機會收啦﹖學我頭先講，俾千幾蚊唔使釘牌你當執身彩下次渣慢d！仲有我會建議你唔好post 你影住個speedo行緊百幾二百果d 相上fb度。我知你條氣係會唔順不過都係果句，下次留心多d 身邊發生緊咩事，呢樣習慣係你無論渣唔渣快車都要養成既。

I think in your case it worth to find a lawyer to go dispute the "fail to yield emergency vehicle" ticket. Just paid the speeding one. In Van, just over 40km/h is considered excessive speeding...and it's very easy to get license suspension.

Hyde

90 m/h is about 144 km/h...unless she is driving a really quiet car..there's no way you don't know you are driving above 140../haha

all my cars feel like i'm driving 70km/h at 140... and it only takes 5 seconds or so to reach 140
140 is not even fast

i was doing 140MPH and the cop only gave me a $600 ticket in the states LOL

tofu

for that amount of money i think i will try to dispute it, at least request fine reduction.
""tofu你要諗諗連交通意外你同車入面既passenger都唔可以做witness，我諗呢個情況你同車入面既人唔可以同個官講你地聽唔到siren...""
remember caffie is a little girl, in general, people may think the kid just try to ignore the siren or  the music was too loud.  but if her dad tells the judge the same thing, the judge may tends to believe it, because her dad is a mature person, who shouldn't do anything stupid.
also, she mentioned the cop told her she was 20mph over the limit, but on the ticket, it said 30mph.  if she can proof or the cop admits that was his mistake, she can walk out free.  remember, if the cop made a mistake, the whole ticket will become invalid, because the cop cannot charge you back with 20mph over the limit.
or at least, tell the judge that she had good record and it was the first time, request reduction ma.

I agreed with what Tofu said.  

If your dad is inside the vehicle too, he can prove one of the following:
1. that all of you inside the car did not hear the siren or
2.  the traffic was so busy that caffie cannot pull over immediately.
3. no one realized the police car was behind you.
