Damn, that's harsh....
I always thought the ticket could get thrown away if you showed up with your license at a police station.....

Failure to Produce license ticket (Alberta)
I just got a "Failure to produce license" ticket tonight. $174
Do I not have 24 hours to show the cops my license?? I thought the fine would be dropped if I could produce a license within 24 hours.
Anyone know if this is true. The cop didn't say a single word to me, expect letting me know what ticket I had.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Kaddy_______________

I'm hoping that's the way it is. He did also gave me a ticket for 70 in a 50km zone (Speed Trap).

Jul 9th, 2007 10:41 PM #4It is up to the cops to give you that option. He does not have to give you that option. You should have asked him on the spot though. Originally Posted by kaddy69

Any idea on what grounds? I don't think saying the officer never offered me time to produce the license would cut it Originally Posted by gman

Pay the ticket? Move on with life and remember to keep your license on your person when operating a motor vehicle?

Jul 10th, 2007 10:02 AM #11Don't think they'll throw it out. The charge is for failure to produce, which in fact...they did not produce. If u walk into police station...they will probably tell you to leave. Only way to get rid of it is fight it in court. Originally Posted by BobW

geez, go to the police station within 24 hours and show them your license. Tell them you forgot your wallet in the other pants. They can, and normally do, negate the ticket. If they say tough, then ask for the officers name that you showed it to , get a date and time you were there and if you need to go to court, then you can say you produced it within 24 hours but for some reason they did not want to see it.
Oh, by the way, you do have a license to show? Reply With Quote

Jul 10th, 2007 12:13 PM #14the fact that the law says, "failure to produce" instantly got me to think of all the fake IDs there are. the word, produce is really vague, good luck fighting the ticket though Originally Posted by myapple

that no lic. ticket, its a 'fix it ticket', goto courthall and theres a special room where they just 'withdraw' itt, u still gotta line up and wait for the judge, xplain u just forgot ur license or misplaced it, somewhere..
as for the speeding ticket, did he have radar on u? take it to court and if it the cop doesn't show up(mostl likely he won't), its withdrawn
plus i bet the courtdate will b like a year from now
