Got $350 worth of tickets while driving for work..Any ideas? Please help me out.
Hi. I used to work for a car dealership as a driver/lopboy. A car was being picked up by a customer around 3:00, and around 2:40, we noticed a slight nick in the paint of the car. My manager told me to go to the Honda dealership and buy a matching touchup paint, so knowing that we're in a rush with time, I ran, got in the car and left off the dealership to get to the Honda.
At honda, I got the paint, with the receipt, and on the way back, I got a call from my supervisor to hurry up..In a bit of a panic(since I had been working there only a few weeks, I didn't want to mess up or leave a bad impression), I guess I sped too much and got pulled over..According to the cop, I was doing 74km on a 50km zone. Then it all happened...He asked for my driver's license, but I had left my wallet at the dealership so didn't have it...Asked for the ownership of vehicle, but the ownership (which was supposed to be in the glovebox since it was the dealership's car) was not there either...And I guess I don't even need to say about the insurance...(my supervisor had forgot to provide me with work insurance since day one..being my first time working at dealership, I didn't even realize I needed it..) The cop reduced my speeding fine to 60, making it a 60KPH speeding in a 50KPH zone...But in total, I got 4 tickets for 1. No insurance, 2. No License, 3.No permit, 4. Speeding..totaling up to amount of around $350 (which is like my paycheck lol)..This happened back in July, and the cop had told me that I could probably get the other 3 tickets, except for the speeding one, taken off at the court...
Now if any of you guys could give me any tips or suggestions as to how to proceed with this situation, it will be really appreciated. I have taken all the tickets and set up a court trial (though not sure exactly when..they have yet to contact me with the date). I want to make sure that I am ready with all the required documents, etc..For now I have received:
1. a copy of the work insurance my dealership was supposed to have given me
2. a copy of the plate registration/permit of the company's vehicle I was driving at the time
3. a copy of the receipt from honda for the touch up paint
Do I need any more documents...? I'm afraid my manager's going to forget this whole thing by the time I actually attend the court so I would like to get all the requirements done ASAP..For example, do I need some kind of a letter from my supervisor or whatnot ?
Please help me out if you have experience into this sort of situation. Thank you in advance
