"Violation Ticket Cancelled"? About 3 or 4 years ago I got a speeding ticket on Steveston Highway in Richmond. I was in the outer lane travelling east, and the officer was in the outer lane travelling west. He performed a U-Turn, caught up to me and pulled me over. I remember the officer telling me he clocked me at 79km/h (50 zone on steveston highway). I didn't feel I was going that fast, nor did my little sister, my aunt or my fiancee who were all in the car with me, but I wasn't going to argue with the officer. He gave me a ticket, and we went on our way. (This was my first and only traffic ticket I have ever received by the way). Since I had the day off, I went to ICBC later that day and paid the ticket. About a week later, I got a letter in the mail from ICBC stating "Your violation ticket has been canncelled" accompanied by a cheque for the amount of the ticket. Since then, I have been wondering what would cause the ticket to be cancelled? Could the radar gun have been out of calibration? |
if it was cancelled, its off your drivers abstract, and you got reimbursed - penalty points removed too, happy new year? |
I remember this happening to me as well. I was coming down Quadra Street almost at the highway turn, doing about 80, it was about 10 at night and the cops were hiding in that church. I got stopped, the cop gave me a break because she said there was no traffic etc, so she gave me the lower fine. I knew I had no chance of beating it in court, so I didn't bother to dispute it. Before I went in to pay it, I got a letter in the mail from ICBC saying the ticket had been cancelled. Why? |

I am asking WHY the ticket may have been cancelled. |
The most likely cause is that the officer did not fill out the violation ticket correctly and the ICBC Traffic Ticket Unit cancelled it. |
There was a instance a few years ago of an officer from Delta or Richmond that issued a spate of tickets during a short period time, all of which where cancelled because he was doing something wrong (can't remember if it was incorrect radar/lidar operation or incorrect paperwork) but there are provisions for tickets to be cancelled by the detachment or ICBC if they notice something wrong with how they were issued. |
