Hi Brian,

It was just announced that the city of Toronto is planning to remove the ability to fight these tickets!

Really? That does not make an allowance for variations in speedometers which are not exactly calibrated like speed cameras and radar are.

Regardless of what anyone thinks of speed cameras as a cash grab or otherwise we seem to forget the underlying issue here. The law states on a sign how fast we are allowed to travel through cities, towns and all areas. This has been posted for a reason, safety. Our society has taken the mislead stance that its not breaking the law if you don’t get caught……wrong!!

Breaking the law is breaking the law and if you do it you will be penalized. There’s no right way to do the wrong thing. We should all be thankful that there is still somebody holding us all accountable for breaking the law. Over the years, speeding has been proven and known to be dangerous and at times fatal.

Instead of trying to figure out ways to keep these fines and all from impacting our licenses and insurance rates by hitting our driving record I have a better solution…..slow down and obey the laws that our own tax money pays the very people who make and enforce these laws!

We would then not have to worry about being penalized and the world would be a much safer place on our streets and roads!!

Is this a useful thing to do, or are you just paying money for a lawyer and you’re going to get dinged anyway?

Red light cameras have a similar impact, but with 5 points for the CVOR
