What would an insurance company look upon worse?

A 40 over fine or a stunt driving charge (sec 172, 50 km/hr over)

OR

Getting caught with a laser jammer/ radar detector.

Does anyone know if an insurance company would increase your rates if you got caught with a radar detector and or laser jammer?

Since a radar detector is 3 points would the company treat this the same as let's say 16-29 over?

Would they even increase your rates?

Getting caught with a radar detector does not mean that you were speeding.

So how ...

Does anyone have some info on the fines for these?

I hear a radar detector i 170 $ + 3 demerit points.

I have no idea for a laser jamming device? I Heard rumors it was 5 points and no idea on the fine.

If this officer pulled you over and found a detector and a laser jammer would it be double the fine or how would an officer deal with this?

The guys with unmarked cruisers should try 100 km/h in the right lane. I see so much more *EDIT* now than I did when I was the one doing 160 km/h in the left lane (yes, I used to be one of you :o :lol: ).

Squishy not to be a smart ass but that is a big change.

From going 160 and now you say you are the one who goes 100 in the right lane. Just ...

Sorry i just had to ask.

Was that Julian Fantino behind the wheel making our roads safer?

Haha.

Guys does this taxi have a discounted ride for the 50 over stunt driving charge?

What is the fares for it? Does the more you speed the cheaper the fare and 50 over is a free ride home!

Anyways he doesn't have a spectre in his taxi from the looks.

They must be really desperate for cash. No spectre in an enforcement vehicle as an under ...

Racer good point.

Maybee thats why so many drivers refused to stop throwing their money away then when they get into an accident or a fender bender the company gives them a run around to get the money and will raise your rights.

If this is the case and your scared your rates will climb then most will just pay out of the pocket.

Outside of ...

I think hwybear has given you the advice you need.

I think it depends on the results of his blood. If he was "to far over the limit" and they can conclude that this happened from alcohol they can charge him.

He should call the officer and ask what is happening with the investigation or go to the local station to see.

as hwybear said getting ...

Radar your right.

But the massive payouts these companies make and the regulators that set the rules have a HUGE impact.

The regulators in the province set the minimum coverage/liability. So if they force the companies to cover this it results it massive payouts and people using the system.

As bear said i completely AGREE. Sometimes those ...

I heard a tim hortons gift certificate might help.

To be honest if nothing has happened i think it got put down.

To be honet in my opinoin this is not of priority. If no one was hurt or killed i dont think he is gonna get charged.

Is a dwi = drunk driving i dont know what that means sorry?

If i were a cop i would tell the kid he better keep it under control. Everyone likes to push their car once ...

No the problem i have with the defacto limits is the officers drive them to.

Also many force around there.

It really bothers me when i see officers casually going 120-130 like everyone else like its okay.

it really bothers me when officers get charged for stunt driving and they get a slap on the wrist when they are not even on patrol, in range ...

Hey Radar Identified if you want to find bear i suggest putting a huge doughnut on your front license plate.

He'll pull out the lidar gun and happen to notice something quite amusing in the cross hairs :lol:

Either that or turn on your Fuzz Buster through Chatam and hell find you with his spectre.

I heard if you have a few dozen fresh boston ...

Dam right.

Some people pay more insurance than the car is worth.

The problem is the regulators that set the rules.

They set the amounts that is "minimal etc".

Essentially it is not a free market system at all.

Therefore with these ridiculous claims tons of people are abusing the system, falling false claims, charging way more.

I heard a story ...

Anyways back to Post Topic never speed through Chatam and watch it west of london. The flow of traffic really slows down and when that thing turns into 2 lanes your toast.

I think that has to be some of the most aggressive OPP in the whole province for speed enforcement, unlike those guys that are on 400 sometimes that must be asleep.

I thought ...

Ya no kidding Fire Start.

They have an OPP station right at that intersection at QEW & Hurontario.

A few weeks ago i saw an officer who was using an old on ramp that was down for construction sitting with lidar in the 80 zone. They had a tow truck waiting to.

130 = 50 over now LOL!

Those signs should say something not on sundays or days with no ...

Hey bookm sorry i didnt see your post.

In that way the officer got a reading coming the opposite direction????

Here is the problem how could he then check the speed of both your vehicles driving in the opposite way and not be sure he had the one that was driving infront of him?

Was there a lot of traffic when this happened?

Bookm it is very ...

Thanks bear i totally agree with what you just said.

Reflections your right on I beleive the Decatuer Genesis 2 has that or its the stalker i dont remember. I think its the genesis 2 i have seen alot of those in OPP cars.

If you wanna see some new OPP vics if you look up the mississauga detachment off the QEW there is a tim hortons literally 1 km ...

haha the stripes on that cat remind me of a marked OPP crown vic.

Although i am not sure if i have love for them but do they ever get my attention. Last time i was on the 403 i saw the usual guy at the bottom of the hill between mavis and erin mills and i just pulled right over in the right lane and passed him at exactly 99 km/hr.

Reflections ...

Some of those expensive european models like bmw's have those installed in the back.

They are so bright it can be distracting.

The same goes for those people that put HID's in a reflector based system.

Ill have to agree with Viper mind you most cops use common sense to.

I mean don't go take a toddler on a motorcycle on a 400 series highway going 50 over the limit.

If an officer pulled you over doing something like that i am sure your gonna get the book thrown at you.

I mean if your cruising around a small local street with a 10 year old who ...

I wonder how many times hwybear has slapped 172 on those tim hortons trucks that pass along the 401.

Boy oh boy i bet the whole detachment couldn't wait to impound one of those :twisted:.

I bet they would detain and impound the whole truck and everything inside the trailer to!

Officer of the month! :lol:

After all it is a stunt to drive a ...

Sorry that post was a bit long.

I watched this video again it's very good.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7V12C2n7M08[/youtube]

So my question to hwybear is lets say this was 3 lanes and the cars were all travelling really fast between eachother. I mean a lets say they are all going 125-130. It looks like its hard to tell exactly who is ...

Well bookm in response to your post.

Now let's say this is a 2 lane highway and you guys are the only 2 cars plus the officer.

In that case he would check the speed of both vehicles. Sure it may not " be vehicle specific: and he can not be 100 % sure its you but what he can do is check the speed of your vehicle (faster one) and the speed of the ...

Even though sometimes we all dont agree with hwybear....

I enjoy him on the site. I am always interested to hear the perspective of the officer. His posts are very informative.

I have came to have alot more respect for Highway police and the OPP in general (except Fantino) from reading alot of hwybear's posts.

Maybee if the rest of the public ...

What exit off the 403 is this at (# or main intersetion.)

The 403/QEW has some really bad on ramps and design in some places.

Very interesting. Lidar is hard to notice i find. They can get you from really far when you least expect it!

Does radar also have this kind of range (K / Ka)?
I have seen some officers in some really wild spot's on the 403 and i wonder how they're equipment can sometimes get readings from this kind of distance.

Today i saw a guy up on a hill on ...

Squishy great idea, some of that beef Jerky and the approval from Bookm and your on your way!

That really blows to get charged with that.

here is a tip although your still breaking the law.

Lets say next time there is a slow truck in the middle or you want to get away from someone and need to exceed the limit to pass do this.

Go into the left lane and immediately put your right turn signal on. That way even if an officer sees you your ...
