Note: This information covers British Columbia, Canada
Shortly after you get your picture taken by a
photo radar van, you'll get a letter with a
fine and a
picture of your car, and the speed you were doing. This is not a valid ticket.
Do NOT pay the fine. You have the
right to be personally
served your ticket, you do not have any obligation at this point.
Often, they won't bother to send someone out to
serve you, but occasionally, they will. For the next few months, if someone that you do not know comes to the door, take a message. They don't know what you look like, and you have no obligation to help them.
The only other hassle you may have is
ICBC, or the
Motor Vehicle Branch. when you need to renew your
insurance, or
drivers license. If they give you a problem, indicate that you intend to
dispute the
ticket when it is served. They cannot refuse to renew your insurance/license at this point.
Congratulations, you've
fucked the man.
