Can you provide any details as to how your strategy worked? There are so many here hoping to make the same happen.

Indeed, I'm sure most folks will be interested to hear how _both_ charges were dismissed.

Insurance are not interested in points, its only for the MTO, and your ability ot have a license

a conviction, is a conviction and as such is liable to effect your insurance,

convictions are rated as minor major and serious,

so unless you can get the ticket thrown out, that is the only way it will NOT effect your insurance

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 ...

1> lasar and radar is very dependant on the operator and if the device was calibrated. as for the car you could have it calibrated on a dyno to confirm its acuracy.. 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 ...

Thank you VERY MUCH ! for coming back to me so fast and so detailed

Excellent information and has certainly helped me focus on other things now...

Many thankxs once again

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

1> Is it obvious whom and where I need to present myself to? As I ...

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

Another good one is "http://www.rimsntires.com/specspro.jsp"

good advise,

question: in the UK, while technally +1mph over the limit is illegal, "usually" its regarded as 10% +3 MPH to be considered speeding.

10% because a speedo can be that much out (the older ones where) and 3% is the width of the needle.

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.

Stunt/Street Racing is covered ...

thankxs iFly,

ok..
1> As it's convictions which count (on insurance) not demerits, how likly with a clean record will they go down to the next level of speeding as opposed to only removing the demerit points, which is just a waste of time?
OR are the demerit points linked to the specfic offense if that makes sense?

2> If there was a screw-up ...

ok saw it;

I saw that topic; it said free GAS? I thought it had something to do with Petrol, no seriously.

ok cheers

I got a mail from site Admin regarding one of my first posts.
That it was a rant. (although I still can't find the terms which show what I can and cant post)
Although I never usually read terms on forums, a lot of forums allow this to an extent.

However, I will abide by the rules of this forum and thank the Admin for advising me of my misdemeanor ...

sorry couple of other questions

1> After the 15 days have expired, IF you change your mind can you still pay the fine?

2> Will Representation make your original charge worse? I know that sounds barmy, but in the UK challenging anything to do with the Police
usually means a bigger fine and more demerit points.

Could you give me your representation Recomendations for a speeding ticket.

There are a llot of places, it appears thatthis board is sponsored by x-copper so not sure how impartial this is?

Have heard a lot of good and bad things about various places, I also understand that x-copper, went bust/got bought out ?

Anyway, just your reco's and if it ...

ok so whats the differance between
Stunt Driving
Street Racing
And Speeding

It seems to be initially obvious but reading these forums al ot of people are being charged with Stunt when it looks like Speeding?

my very first year in Canada (over 3 years now)

I got a 3 pointer for an incorrect uturn, paid it,
nothing happened with the insurance, and it came off after 2 years, 3 for insurance purposes,

bugger that a few months after running clean I got anther ticket DOH

The problem is IF you start accuiring convictions, (NOT POINTS) I believe if you have ...

oh another point...

IF you DONT WANT the insurance company to increase your fees, here is a thought.

1> lay low and DONT contact your insurance. THEY will run a DMV on you IF they want, sometimes at re-newal, sometimes not.
IF they ASK YOU you must TELL them (only if you get convicted) but if they DONT ASK YOU , the nyou dont need to tell them ...

Hi Timoc

in case of reiterating, I recently got a ticket so spent my whole weekend googling.

1> (insurace confirmed with me months ago b4 offence that) demerit point is not relevant, it's the conviction, HOWEVER, they come as minor, major and serious. IF you have only 1 minor, chances are your insurance company will let you off or at most load ...

ifly...
Thank you SOOO much for your prompt reply.

Thanks on the points confirmation, so really it's as you say the conviction and getting it down to the 3 demerit point bracket
Which may be concidered as a minor.

I'm also a bit pissed of becuase my car is a junker I was hoping to get rid of in the next few months and buy a new car.
I thought I ...

Hello ,

A bit of advise.

I have no prior tickets (although I had a minor turning one over 3 years ago)
I got a HTA 128 for Speeding 144 in a 100

The OPP said that they had a car camera and when he came to the window he had a recording device which he advised me off.

I've been on antibiotics for a few days and I had bad cramps and I thought I ...
