Got stopped last summer in NY for going 15 mph over while passing a pickup truck with lots of loose crap bouncing around (i.e. mattress, bed frame kinda stuff) - made me nervous riding behind it.

The cop was sympathetic and agreed I slowed right down after passing - but still wrote me up for 10 over saying he was doing a favour so it wouldn't get reported back to Ontario and show up on my insurance.
Well insurance renewal just came in and it is on there as a minor conviction - insurance has gone up $200 for the year.

Worse thing is I warn everybody else about that stretch on 219 between Bradford PA and Ellicotville. NY - and that's where I got nailed. I guess it won't hurt to check around for new insurance but think I am screwed :-(
 
Traffic violations in USA will be automatically shared with MTO in Canada, if convicted. There is no such thing as making a deal with a police officer.
 
somewhat off topic, but if it went up $200 for a minor, what were you paying overall before? Just wondering how much a single minor can affect rates.
 
Sorry to hear about the ticket. Can you describe the location better please, I'm down that way soon. Thanks

Not all states. Its a state by state basis. NY does GA does not for instance.

To my knowledge only border States have reciprocity with Canada unless that has changed in the past seven years...

A performance award I received in Pennsylvania, I paid it and it went away.
 
There are a few threads in the law / hta sub forum discussing this

depends on the insurance company.
state farm doesn't give a crap unless you have a major conviction, or three minors within three years. But if you have any of those state farm will drop you.

-going off what my agent told me.
 
The following States have reciprocity with Ontario:
Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho, Illonois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvannia, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, West Virgina, Wisconsin, Wyoming and District of Columbia
 
sucks to hear that OP, but you really have no excuse for not knowing it was gonna end up on your insurance, it takes 5 seconds to do a google search, and you would have found a list of states with reciprical agreements with canada, of which, New York is definitely one.

I was in Florida with a friend and he got pulled over doing 99mph in a 70. $250 ticket, no reciprical agreement. He didn't even bother fighting it, and it never showed up on his record.

again, sorry, it sucks, you'll find better insurance in the next year or two, shop around. Be more careful next time. (not with the speeding, drive how you want, I mean research your situation)

I thought PA did not have reciprocal reporting?, possibly others? Where did this list come from?
 
New York Michigan have complete recripical agreements... Others just suspend ur dl if u don't pay the fine.. Some do nothing. .

Well doesn't really matter whether I believed him or not or whether I googled or not - he was giving me the ticket regardless and once it was given, what was going to be was going to be.

As for where - the stretch coming north on 219 from Bradford just after you cross from Pennsylvania into NY - and I noticed they also just lowered the speed limit there - just outside Carrolton, when I came back later that year (riding with my halo thoroughly polished). Sure enough, two State Troopers one right after the other - that whole stretch is heavily patrolled - and since then if I have to go on 219 - which I hate anyway - I putter along at the speed limit with a stretch of irritated motorists behind me - what can you do?

Paying a little over $1,000 a year before - went up to a little over $1,200.00 - but part of that may be Intact taking over from Jevco - last year I heard a lot of people had big increases. Also depends on how the insurance company classifies the FZ1 - some put it in the same category as an R1 in terms of insuring, even though there is a big difference between the standard and the SS.

^lol Ron.

Was on the same road this Sunday. Really happy our leader didn't speed through there. How long does that insurance rate last?
