Bookmarked. I should print this. I'm sure I'll need it. It's been a while since I got a ticket (4-5 years now) and I've had a couple warnings since the last one (which I paid someone to get tossed for me).

Get a radar detector. Bel STI Magnum or STI-R. Undetectable to all current pig RDDs. Haven't gotten a speeding ticket since started running my STI Driver in 2009, plus it's fun finding the speed traps esp if you have a dash cam. Used to get lots before, huge hassle requesting disclosure, freedom of information act, filing Charter applications (S7, S8b etc) since pigs always show in court now (get overtime pay for sitting there for the day).

I thought radar detectors were illegal in Canada?

Oh wait, you said undetectable...

apparently this is a fatal error..

thanks again for the link

It's not the fine that gets you, it's the points...then the jacked insurance rates.

That's why I'll normally only drive up to 15km/h over - that ticket is just a fine with no points, very minor, and the cops don't appear to be that interested in people driving that fast (slow?)...since I have started using that policy I have never been ticketed (for speeding!)

^ this during the day (difficult to speed more than 15 over in traffic anyway). Late at night on 400 series and DVP, I keep it to under 49 kph over speed limit. Radar detector gives me a free pass since pigs here almost never run LIDAR at night. I keep it to 49 kph over or less bc in Ontario 50 over is automatic 30 day suspension and car impounded (so much about innocent until proven guilty).

Not illegal in Alberta as far as I'm aware

They are legal in Saskatchewan, Alberta and BC.
