In Calgary, don't bother asking how, its just a typical speeding ticket

Don't listen to the comments about living up to your speeding and paying. If there is a way to avoid paying the full amount and demerits, do it, don't let anyone tell you different. Sure you can not speed, but if that is not an option for you, then so be it. I usually am above speed limit, except during bad weather and have had my share of tickets when I was younger too. With experience came the ability to determine for the most part when to speed and when not to. Do what you have to do and get a reduction in court. We have all been younger(31 now) and things happen.
As previous posters stated, go to your scheduled court date. Talk to the crown. Tell him your a student and awknowledge the speeding. Tell him/her, you can pay right there, if he can reduce the charge and no demerits. Chances are they will meet your demands. If the cop is not there, the charge will be thrown out(chances are he will be, cause they are paid to be there).
But, before you go to court and plead guilty. Check out the entire ticket, look for some errors. If for example the date was wrong on the ticket(year, say it says 2005) bring it up and they will have to drop the charge. Just to let you know, one ticket will not affect the insurance rates at all, no worries there. Plus, most insurance companies only do random checks on driving records, its not a yearly thing, unless you have been red flagged by having too many demerits. Good luck.
