Im not sure on what to do fo rmy situation. The other day i was drivign to school. Cop gets me doign 73 in a 50 zone. He writes the ticket at 65Km/h so 15 over. I didnt get any points just 52 dollar fine?

HOw screwed am I in terms of insurance? How high are my rates gonna go ? 19yrs old with class G lisence. Im primary driver on my car under dads name.

I asked some friends who have been in ticket situations they said if no points your safe and just pay it. But im not sure so im asking here.

Cops suck because you broke the law?

Well, every ticket you get except for parking (points or no points) affects your insurance. If it's 2 km over or 200 km over it's going to go up or your going to have a crappier insurance rating

i would say he really didn't suck cause he wrote the speed less and saved your insurance from skyrocketing your rates cause of demerit points. why were you doing 73 in a 50 zone?

15km over the speed limit will not get you any demerit points off in Ontario, therefore you can just pay the fine. If you wanna waste your time, you can take the ticket to court, where you can further plea bargain for a lesser fine.

Again there are no demerit points for 15km over, that cop was good actually. Your insurance will not go up either.

Same type of thing happened to me. I was caught doing 140 in an 80 though Thankfully the cop dropped it to 96 in an 80, pretty much saved my driving career lol.

Wow man... you got lucky... The cop must have either liked you or been in a really good mood.... either that or you used some kind of bribe [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Worst I got caught doing was 120 in a 80 and I was quite appreciative that the cop knocked it down to 30km/h over...

Yea buddy... your insurance will probably go up the next time it's renewed.... however, if you don't tell your insurance company they probably wont find out... On the downside if they do find out they reserve the right to cancel your policy for non-disclosure... and that looks pretty bad on your record...

I got away with it on the aforementioned ticked, which I also had a JP reduce to $55 from $110...
