    Default Minimum speeding ticket speed amount?

    I did a search on the forum but I didnt find any info regarding this. What is the usual minimum speed that you can get a ticket for? I just got a ticket in the mail for going 13km over, what are the chances that I could some how fight it off or should I just suck it up? Just when I said to myself that I would never go more than 10over I get pwned....

    15 and over, and you move up to the next ticket.

    Smallest ticket is 0-15KM over. I don't think they give many of those out. Then it's 16-30 for the next one. 31-50, then over 50 is court appearance.

    It usually based more on a percentage.

    You can get a 5 over ticket in a playground zone.

    I usually consider anything over 10% over to be ticket potential. Especially when it comes to photoradar.

    I know of someone who got a ticket for 12 over on Deerfoot...I think that's brutal since they could probably catch 1000 ppl a day going 12 over but I guess speeding is speeding.

    Legally you can get a ticket for 1kmph over. But they gave crap for photoradar giving out tickets for 2-3kmph over on deerfoot some time ago.

    However i know they've radared me going at least 15kmph over and they just ignored me and waited for someone else.

    I think that's pretty fair actually, although i usually go 10 over anywhere except a playground/school zone, so I'd be screwed most of the time

    If you're asking what speed police usually give tickets at, well that depends on the police officer and how he's feeling that day. Tickets may be issued at 1 kph over the limit, and if it's done on laser, they might even get a conviction at trial. Photo radar, from my understanding, is usually set to take pictures at 12 kph over the limit and up. Sometimes less in playground zones.

    I heard talk that the speed on green cameras were going to be set at a lower threshold, something like 8 kph over IIRC.

    The prosecutors used to have discretion to change the charge from being against you specifically to instead be against the registered owner, which carries no demerits. That discretion was removed a couple of years ago now. Often, they will reduce the speed to a lower demerit level (i.e. if 20 over, will reduce to 10 over which moves it from 3 demerits to 2 demerits, also reduces the fine).

    They're certainly big, but I don't know if they are the BEST I've tasted.
