LOL Good Luck Mr. Police Man

Just to clarify some of the details, the minimum fine is $2k, max is $10k. Typically, at a trial in absentia, the fine is $2k. If the person is present or has legal representation they usually plead guilty to a lesser offence of speeding at x/100 (whatever they work out with the prosecutor).

The 30 day suspension comes with a conviction when you have a novice class licence only.

And people wonder why a lot of guys would rather shift down and go for it

This is not true. 30 day suspension comes automatically regardless of license class. I know individuals convicted with decades of G class and got the 30 day suspension.

and saying "usually plead guilty to lesser offence" doesn't change anything since that's not a guarantee. and the person could still get nailed to wall just for stopping to let the police/HTA 172 rape him/her.

and pleading to lesser charge still jeopardizes insurance, if dropped have to go to facility pay the price of a new SS every year for insurance for the next 3 years.
and even if not dropped insurance gets a big raise for the charge, essentially still ends up costing tens of thousands over the span of a few years.

just my 2 cents.

Some of us never wonder. That law should be abolished plain and simple. Until then you're going to hear lots of them. It's wrong in that you're guilty until proven innocent or plead to a lesser charge and still get ****** over. People have gotten less penalties for worse offences.

Suspension isn't the norm. It might be a local thing. If you are convicted of stunt in Whitby, you will find a stiffer penalty than Newmarket for example. But you are right it's in there... Here's the offence subsection for that offence:

Offence
(2) Every person who contravenes subsection (1) is guilty of an offence and on conviction is liable to a fine of not less than $2,000 and not more than $10,000 or to imprisonment for a term of not more than six months, or to both, and in addition his or her driver's licence may be suspended,
(a) on a first conviction under this section, for not more than two years; or
(b) on a subsequent conviction under this section, for not more than 10 years. 2007, c. 13, s. 21.

Besides that, everything jeopardizes the insurance.
