Insurance - Radar Detectors & Laser Jammers
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 would an insurance company deal with a charge like this?
A 40 over fine or a stunt driving charge (sec 172, 50 km/hr over)

Getting caught with a laser jammer/ radar detector.
What kind of a man would put a known criminal in charge of a major branch of government? Apart from, say, the average voter.
Maybe hwybear might have some input. Does insurance rates go up according to the amount of points the conviction was.
So would getting a speeding ticket at 16 or 29 over would raise my rates the same?
Does the company look at the charge and say X points for the fine = X much increase in insurance?
So back to the thread if you are taken to court and you get a 16 over speeding ticket this would result in the same insurance increase as having a radar detector because the points are the same?
Major = 49+km/h over the limit (with some it's like 45-46 over), stunting, careless, blotto driving
Minor = Everything else
Therefore, whether you're doing 1 over the limit or 44 over the limit, it's still treated as a "minor conviction," the same as running a stop, running a red, not signalling etc etc etc.
One may leave you without a rate increase. Two will either be forgiven or raise your rates 10-20% depending on the rating algorithm. Combine an at-fault accident or another ticket in a 3 year period with it, and some companies may refuse to insure you and you'd be forced to go through facility.
That's not such a bad thing though. For supersport motorcycles, facility gives the second lowest rates on the market lol
Another note: Points don't matter to the insurance industry.

Holy... When I was 22, I had a couple of tickets on my record, both for 15 over... my insurance company only gave me something like a $100 surcharge per year. 
Really depends on how finicky your insurer is on tickets.What kind of a man would put a known criminal in charge of a major branch of government? Apart from, say, the average voter.
