Exceeding the speed limit by 16 to 29 km/h
I got my first traffic ticket yesterday on Allen Rd (I kept 106 km/h instead of 80 km/h). The Police Officer didn't write down any demerit points and didnt say about. Nothing. Total amount to pay is 122.5$.
What steps should I follow?:
1. To pay and forget about. What about points and my insurance history?
2. Don't pay and fight it. Does it make sense to fight? Will I lose more time and money?
Thank уou!

26 over carries 3 demerit points. Your insurance provider would probably consider it a minor offence, which may have a minimal impact on your rates. Contact your provider as each policy is different.
Hard to say if it's worth fighting the ticket without knowing how strong the case is and how much it would impact you. Speeding tickets can be difficult to beat, but you can pretty much always get the Crown to offer a reduced speed/fine in exchange for a guilty plea, though that probably wouldn't make a difference to your insurance provider.

Thank you so much!
I have been reading Fight Your Traffic Ticket site and have a couple of comments.
I was issued two tickets at the same time, one for invalid left turn (Hwy 7 in Markham and Swansea). Another one, because the officer did not like my copy of registration documents.

Hi all,
This happened in last year (2015) April. I was going to pick up my son from Queen's University (Kingston) after his exams, and I guess I was too excited and was caught speeding 36km. The cop didn't say anything to me, just asked for my registration etc. Came back and handed me the ticket and…

Hi,
I got ticketed for a 72 in a 50 zone that I actually thought was a 60 zone as it was less than a km before.
I had an aggressive driver on my bumper so after tapping my brakes a few time I accelerated to merge into a different lane which was when I got caught in a speed trap.
The combination of…

Hi everyone!
I've posted at this forum before under a different username a while back, which I unfortunately can't remember, and at that time the people who replied back were extremely helpful and for that I'm grateful.

In early March I was driving in the Yonge & Churchil area. An officer said I failed to stop at a stop sign and ticketed me 110+3 demerits. While getting my license etc. I have multiple photocopy of my car ownership in my car, and that I thought I handed him the copy with the validation…
