Use representative to fight a speeding ticket

[slogan]

Hey!

I'm just curious on how it works?

in case I got a ticket and I don't agree with it and I have my explanations how it could happen, but on the trail date I might be away from Canada, what should I do than?
Whom can I ask to be my representative? What information should they know, and how should they defend from my name?

Or I just could reschedule the trail date???

thanks for advice

You can have someone represent u, but u have to sign an affidavit (whatever its called).

Not necessary.. Actually, I think someone can represent you on their "pretty-please, your worship" but it's better for them to have something in writing with your sig on it. Here's what they need to qualify:

Acting for family, friend or neighbour
5.
An individual,
i. whose profession or occupation is not and does not include the provision
of legal services or the practice of law,
ii. who provides the legal services only occasionally,
iii. who provides the legal services only for and on behalf of a related person,
within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada), a friend or a
neighbour, and
iv. who does not expect and does not receive any compensation, including a
fee, gain or reward, direct or indirect, for the provision of the legal
services.

I've seen a guy show up to postpone the trial for a friend and the JP threw out the charge due to cop no-show.. I also lucked out that day (no disclosure)
