My mistake......you're right!!!! 78 in a 50 isn't that serious (such as in a school zone or residential area). Why even bother with speed limits on streets at all? Like I said, be a MAN, and live with the consequences, unless you actually weren't doing 78 in a 50 zone. It isn't that serious or is it?

If you want to get into a debate over speed limits, please explain to me why insurance companies will apply the same consequences to your policy if no matter if you are charged 1 km/h over the limit or 49 km/h over the limit.

That is by policy of the insurance company of which insures you. They determine what is minor and what is major. MTO determine how serious an offences is by terms of adding demerit points to your driver license depending on the offense. Speeding 28 over is definitely excessive, but it happens. No one wants a insurance increase, regardless if you deserve it or not; I know I don't. People should take responsible for their mistake, it shows maturity. Of course everyone is permitted the legal right to question the evidence of the officer regardless if they know if they committed the infraction or not.

Good luck regardless.

Good advice. But I would for go the paralegal as the cost of the paralegal will be more then the ticket and that doesn't mean you will get out of the ticket anyways.

Go with the new option and talk to the crown, they will reduce your fine and if it's under 16, no points and FROM MY EXPERIENCE no rate increase as it's minor and they won't care. Hell they don't even care about 1 major

OTT legal scarborough office and ask for "chris". I had 2 29 over's and used them both times and it got "dropped". Both times the cop didn't show up, not sure if that's a coincidence since I hired them or I got lucky with cops not showing up. I think it was $230 each time.

I would check with your insurance co re: the major and minor thing. Back in the day I got screwed over with minor offences - not having up to date ins papers in my grandmas car and her plate sticker was expired. The insurance company did not like that one bit. Regardless of the ticket, they said if it was minor it's still an infraction that increases my rates - and it did increase my rates.

The assumption here is that "If this is the case for me, then it's probably true for everyone!" haha got to love that. Fact is all insurance companies treat tickets differently in terms of what they let go and what they don't. Very few companies let you off on your first ticket. Also a MAJOR MOVING VIOLATION is considered something like wreckless driving, speeding 50hm/h+, unsafe lane change/turn/whatever resulting in collision, etc. All speeding infractions up to 49km/h are considered MINOR moving violations.
