Hey folks. New forumer here.
Just curious to hear a few opinions on the following video taken at a photo enforced intersection.
As you can see, the light was still yellow for a fraction of a second as the camera-car entered the intersection (crossed the stop line), but it was close.
I drive a Honda Civic and we all know how those are when it comes to theft. On my driveway my brothers car was stolen twice and once broken in to. Also a few other cars have been stolen on my street. I have an alarm and all that. But say my alarm was going off and I ran outside and fought off the…

All the provinces have a reciprocal agreement. Speeding is a conviction that will follow you back to Ontario and have demerit points applied according to the penalties here in this province (4 points). Whether or not it your insurance company chooses to increase your rates is up to them, but they can certainly do so. To answer your question, no, the officer is not correct. You will receive points and are at risk for an insurance increase.
Re: Ontario Resident 33 over in Alberta
And if you do not pay the ticket thanks to the agreement you DL can be suspended in Ontario if you do not pay depending on Alberta's policies on unpaid tickets.(I do not know if they go to warrant or suspend Dl's)

Re: Ontario Resident 33 over in Alberta
What do i do at this point???
from reading various posts, ive heard about this reciprocal agreement, yet many have said it rarely proceeds where info is actually shared , in compariosn to MTL/ ONT where the sharing of info occurs more often.
(guess i'm just hoping nothing happens )
Re: Ontario Resident 33 over in Alberta
Just so you're aware. If your Ontario licence is suspended as a result of the unpaid fine, your insurance company will take it more seriously than just the speeding on its own. And you'll still have to pay the fine to get your Ontario licence back as well as a $150 reinstatement fee. Is it worth the risk?
Re: Ontario Resident 33 over in Alberta
the info is always shared..I see it all the time on dl histories..I just don't know if they go to warrant or not on out of province drivers.

Re: Ontario Resident 33 over in Alberta
ok OPS thanks for the info. I guess i'l havta hope they dont increase my insurance and charge me points as i have a clean record.
Re: Ontario Resident 33 over in Alberta
can you clairfy what you mean by "warrant or not in ont"
Re: Ontario Resident 33 over in Alberta
Yeah when tickets are not paid in some provinces they issue warrants for arrest. . In Ontario they suspend your DL instead.

I do not know about Alberta but as an example I have seen Sask residents with warrants for Dogs at large..Etc.
And no you will not be arrested in Ontario and sent back to Alberta if there is a traffic warrant for you. ( can never say never as there are extreme circumstances) But the warrants never go away and if your back in Alberta and get stopped you will be arrested which means a night in jail and before a judge in the morning. I think the Oldest warrant I have actioned was from 1992.

Re: Ontario Resident 33 over in Alberta
well i will be paying the fine of 200.
what are your thoughts about insurance and points?
I have a clean record this would be my first
Re: Ontario Resident 33 over in Alberta
33 over should be considered a minor offence, which may or may not increase your rates.
Demerit points will be applied based on what the offence would carry in Ontario (3 points). You may be sent a warning letter from the MTO, but there is no associated suspension or other penalty.
Re: Ontario Resident 33 over in Alberta
I guess all i can do now is just pay the voluntary fine of 200 off ?
