• Distracted Driving - I'm Fighting - But I Never Got A Court Date
  Not sure you'll be successful with the touching the phone argument. I would imagine the counterargument would be that you should have securely mounted the phone in a position much higher up than a cup holder and that looking down at the phone in the cup holder is in fact dangerous. Good...

• 156km/h Reduced To 149km/h On The Spot In 100 Km Zone
  I am in the same boat, I was at 151, and the officer reduced to 149. Did you paid or contested the ticket? Did your insurance got affected right away? and yes then how much? Insurance providers issue a surcharge percentage based on that persons rate. Whatever this person ends up paying...

• Got Three Tickets At Once.
  It's important to realize that the tickets for the insurance and permit are for not being able to surrender them upon request. The officer isn't saying you don't have insurance or that you don't have a copy of your permit. What the ticket basically means is that you were asked for these documents and you couldn't provide them then and there, which you are required to do under the HTA....
