This isn't meant to be a rant or just me complaining. I honestly feel that most tickets should not affect insurance, and heres why. Say a speeding ticket, it is completely to how the officer is feeling weather you get off or not on the road side. Or if you know the right people or play golf with the JP you can get off just about any charge. Recently in my town there was a doctor who was pulled over while far over the limit but due to his money and connections the charge was dropped for some (unknown) reason. To me it makes no sense why buddy who is best friends with the Sargent has a spiffy clean record while I pay huge increases because of my age and luck while speeding. It is said that insurance rates go up from tickets because you present a higher risk to companies, Id like an explanation as to how the person who has a clean record for years but forgot to renew their licence by just a few days is a higher risk than anyone. I am not trying to say insurance should not be able to raise rates because I think they should for at fault accidents or other charges like a DUI. To me it really feels like the government is far to buddy buddy with third party insurance and things have to change.

I just received a parking ticket for parking outside of the space, to me that is crazy because I was parked in the corner of the lot, was not blocking anyone or a through way, so I thought there is no harm. I've seen people park there all day and not get a ticket.

I was hoping to receive some advice on the unfortunate situation that I currently find myself in.
Last night, at 7pm, I was at an intersection waiting for the oncoming traffic to clear so that I could turn left. I thought that I was waiting at the intersection behind only one other vehicle (a van)…
So i received my first speeding ticket...officer claimed I was doing 73 km/hr in a 50 zone. He did reduce it to 63 - should fight it? The ticket did not mention a cross road. Its just states N.B on Caledonia. I don't believe d points are affected but I'm worried about insurance.
Exactly a week ago today, I was caught going 135 in an 80, on Highway 3 near Windsor, Ontario. I know this is just completely idiotic and there hasn't been a minute since I was charged that I haven't been smacking myself for this. I'm very, very remorseful and just overall torn about…
I was making a left turn, didn't have headlights on and was putting on my seatbelt at a time. Really stupid thing to do, was very stressed out and just feel dumb about it. What am I facing, and what impact will it have on my insurance? On ticket it just says Careless driving, there are no details..
Late Saturday afternoon, December 1st, I entered the Shops at Don Mills with my vehicle and drove due East as I needed to make a quick deposit in the TD Bank. I made a left hand turn onto the side street and on the right side where I parked, there is a condo under construction with all the usual…
Hi, I just received a notice in the mail with pictures of my car going through a red light. Ticket is in my husband's name, as he is the car owner, but I drive this car. I'm guilty as can be... can't remember doing it, but apparently went right through intersection after light turned red. I…
