[s-cars] Canda V1 use warning...help on fighting a ticket please! +gas mileage

[Mark Strangways]

I don't honestly know what you defense would be.
"Sorry, I wont do it again ?"

Hire a points agent, or excopper etc.
Maybe he can make a deal with the crown to allow you to keep your unit and
pay the fine, or maybe plead guilty to a lesser charge ? That would be (and
has been ) my course of action.

Best of luck,

Mark //S
