I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but

20 months ago a little bit after my 17th birthday I got a speeding ticket (3 points) as well as a fine for not having my N sign on. I recently got my N back then. This caused me to be put on driving probation.

Now just a few hours ago I got another speeding ticket speeding down Highway 1 coming back from Hope, in Chillawack. A cop just came out of nowhere with his sirens on and pulled me over. No N sign, fined. I was going 145 in a 100 zone, but he let me go with only a regular speeding ticket since he felt bad for me being so far away from home.

But even with the regular speeding ticket, I will lose my license. What should I do now? I booked a lawyer to speak to on Monday, but just wanting the forum's insight. It was a Chilliwack ticket, and says the Provincial Court Hearing Location is in Chilliwack, NOT Vancouver, meaning possibly a very early court date. The earliest I can get my Class 5 is in late January. And if I disputed the fine, wouldn't the penalty points be slapped onto my license anyways, causing me to lose it?

I need it for work... there is no way I can get to work without my license...

Thanks for your insight/help..
