About 3 weeks ago I was caught for speeding in Quebec. Now I was speeding, about 140 in a 100 zone. I am also am from Ontario and expect to get screwed over a little by Quebec police. Everyone else was doing about 130, but I understand that you get caught you get caught. But being my first time getting a speeding ticket in quebec I am a bit worried.
I got pulled over on the 20 just before Montreal. The cop (who was wearing camoflage combat pants, when did that become part of the cops uniform??) told me I was doing 140 and I didn't argue. He went back to his car with my liscence and registration. He comes back after 5 minutes and tells me its a $240 ticket. He hands me my lisence and registration but no paper ticket. I am dumb founded for a second then wave him down as he is about to pull away. I ask where the paper ticket is and he says it will be mailed to me. At this point I just wanted to leave and it is possible they just mail the tickets now so I rode off at the spead limit (while everyone was wizzing by me at 130).
Is this legit? I haven't gotten anything in the mail yet but I have no number to call, no ticket or sheet of paper saying what happened. Even if I wanted to fight it I have no contact number or even the a jurisdiction to call to see where my ticket is. Does this sound weird, has anyone else run into this?
