I dont' condone it running. i think it's dangerous and stupid, not worth risking your life.
but here in Ontario with HTA 172, the ticket is in actuality a guilty until proven innocent scenario. 7 day license suspension on the spot + towing + impound fees + legal fees and + cost to get home from wherever you are then stranded with no license and no vehicle.
will cost you $4000 before you even have your trial. and then after conviction, $10 000 fine plus 30 day license suspension and a record on police info so you're guaranteed a ticket everytime a cop runs your plates for next 2 decades.
then with insurance hikes, you're looking at costs upwards of $30 000 over the next 3 years with insurance.
IF HTA 172 DIDNT exist, it would make it a lot safer for everyone as running would then totally not make sense.
best then would be to stop take the ticket and have a fair trial where your guilt needs to be proven.
with HTA 172 now, a person doing 155 on HWY is seen as more of a danger and will get the above mentioned penalty
when for example compared to a person doing 89kmh in a 40kmh zone (e.g.. school zone)
…it's retarded.
