AFAIK from readin around, they can't retroactivly hike charges.

and points do not make any differance to your insurance, its only for the MTO

a conviction is a conviction, (or rather) it depends if its classified as a minor/major/serious.

With my ins co, any speed ticket under 50over is classified as a minor
so if you have 1km over or 49km over ...

I do get your point on what the courts do trust. how do I know if I'm speeding then? if my speedo's out, I wouldnt never know. Mind you in the real world speedo's are not out (on OEM ...

Couple of questions on dashcam usage

I'm looking at getting a 2 / 3 channel dashcam, to get front back and and possibly inside.
inside, to protect me incase someone says I was handling my phone, and or to catch my speedo/GPS (which shows my speed)

So...

Drats :(

thanks for the quick reply Stanton

much appreciated :)


BTW; looking at my ticket it says under offence

"Speeding 144 kmh in a 100kmh zone"
HTA 128

isnt the offence; shouldnt it say (I can't remmewber the exact wording)
"30 – 49 km/h over"

is this a fatal ?

No, the wording is correct. It should state your actual speed and the ...

So Ive taken the plunge after a week of deliberating.
I appreciate the advice Ive got from folks here.

So I decided to go for option 2 and now my trip down the Rabbit hole begins 

I have a few questions; oh if there is a link here anywhere that I've missed please let me know

So

thanks ifly

so I have a cell phone on a dash mount, (so I can see it)

I have a bluetooth handsfree in the visor.

If I'm driving, and the phone goes, if I press the button on the bluetooth device to take a call and just talk into the mic
Will you be ticketed ?

I think you can set it for auto or voice answer but my phone doesnt support that

Also I heard ...

I checked my GPS yesterday with my speedo; (standard OEM's)
and it was bang on,
I read somewhere that the older cars pseedos where not great anything y2k + are balls on accurate

SO in a 70, you are given a "grace ...

thankxs,
makes sense; which is why it's confusing that people have been posting nhere getting done for stunt when it should be speeding

Speeding is covered under S.128 of the HTA, travelling +1 km/hr over the posted limit = guilty.
