Speeding Tickets - How to Avoid Them

The best advice to avoid a speeding ticket is not to speed. But it’s going to happen, everyone speeds, the Police, the Judges and the Prosecutors.

How do you avoid a speeding ticket? There are times and places where you are more likely to get a ticket. School zones and anytime you see a Community Safety Zone are areas that the police are going to target with speed limit enforcement. Be aware on long straight stretches of roadway, and as you come over the crest of a hill or going down any hill.

The police look for good places to catch speeders. They don’t always base the set up of a speed trap on the whether there is a good reason to do speed enforcement, but more on the fact are they going to get speeding tickets.

Always pay attention to the posted speed limit. If you don’t see the speed limit signs, the speed limit in the city is 50 km/h and outside the city the speed limit is 80km/h.

If you re driving 10 to 15 km/h over the limit your very unlikely to get a speeding ticket. The police are regular people doing a job. They are going to use common sense and not stop people speeding a little over the limit.

Many police officers will set a personal limit as to what they feel is acceptable for a driver to be over the speed limit. A lot of officers will use over 15km per hour and some will say 20km/h. The limit the officer makes is totally within their discretion, and a police officer could theoretically write you a ticket for even one kilometer over the limit, but we have never seen it happen.

If you see a police car or officer, stay within the speed limit. If you pass a police car even speeding slightly you could be stopped and given a ticket. It’s wise to let police vehicles pass or reduce your speed in the vicinity of a police vehicle.

Some officers using radar target the passing lane for speeders, especially on the 400 series highways in Ontario.

Conventional speed radar targets the largest, fastest object, therefore don’t be the lead vehicle.

Laser radar can pick a vehicle out of a group of cars. All the officer has to do is target the vehicle and pull the trigger recording the speed. Again though if you’re the first vehicle, your going to be the first vehicle checked for speeding.
