Just got a ticket doing 33 over OPP wouldn't budge due to the recent crack down on bikes in Caledon, Erin area. If convicted I will have 4 point on my license. This is the only ticket I have. I have motorcycle insurance with Javco and have been with them for 2 years now. Will my rates jump next year or do they have 1 ticket forgiveness. I am going to fight the ticket but have been told the OPP show up on a regular basis so getting it thrown out is probably not going to happen. Any help would great.
 
And yet Dan Akroyd, on his was to the Honda Indy, gets caught doing 70 in a 50 and gets a warning.

What's up with that?

What is the officers criteria for reducing the ticket, giving a warning and screwing you as hard as he can?

Speeding laws are the biggest joke and give rise to a very unequal application of the law.

Agreed. IMO, a camera should be rolling as a police officer pulls someone over and there should be NO forgiveness at the scene. It should be up to the courts to decide. It is not fair that pretty young ladies can easily cry their way out of a ticket.

Even easier when they show some bewbs!
 
Seroiusly, Dan Akroyd can afford to pay the fine. Why did he get a warning.

Two colleagues got tickets this week. Both for 60 in a 50. One was reduced to 60 the other wasn'ty reduced.

C'mon, it's a joke.

Speeding tickets are all about generating revenue and have little to do with safety.

I wish they would go after the tailgaiters, aggressive drivers, and left-lane lubbers.
 
By the way, the 33 over ticket will affect your insurance the same as a 10 over or a 1 over ticket. It's treated as a "minor conviction" by the insurance industry. 1 usually gets forgiven, 2 can raise your rate by 10% (ballpark) over 3 years. Fight'em all.
