3 Demerits I believe. I recently got a registered owner ticket for doing 48km/h in a 30km/h zone; $113, luckily no demerits for me.

I wouldn't waste your time or money hiring anybody to represent you. You can ask for a lesser fine with no demerits, and they'll usually be happy to oblige. It'll take perhaps two to three hours out of your day

There is no such thing as no demerits anymore when you get pulled over

You can still get no demerits with a first appearance crown. If this is your first ticket you will get a good deal if you appear in person and ask for a break usually.

Side note insurance generally doesn't care about demerits if that's your concern. A speeding ticket is a speeding ticket to them whether it's 1 demerit or 4.

Yup. You need to get the ticket changed to something else, not sure you can with a speeding ticket.

Truth. Even if the crown drops it to 1 demerit it still shows up on your abstract. Either 0 demerits or don't bother.

My insurance, which I pay monthly, was already renewed last month. So I won't see an increase until 2016?

Just curious was this during late evening with that new 9pm rule?

Hardly anyone goes 30 after dark in those zones.

Just don't tell your insurance company.

the crown can not reduce demerits.. they are what they are.

When i received this ticket in edmonton long time ago, JOP gave me 2 options, pay less and -1 demerit. Or pay a bit more and all demerits dropped.

Correct, assuming they pull your abstract next renewal. Someone who isn't me has 3 speeding tickets that the insurance company didn't find this renewal because they didn't pull the abstract. Most companies only do it every couple years to save on costs.

You can, I recently had a speeding ticket amended to a fail to obey rules of the road ticket which carries no demerits and no conviction record.

Exactly. On top of that, usually the insurance company gives you a freebie speeding ticket pass every couple of years. So if you keep them down to one every couple years or so, it isn't too big of a deal.

Yup, 3 demerits.

Same, about a month ago got a photo radar. 45km/h in a 30, at 8:15pm (Had been dark for hours)

Thank God those new playground zone times are saving all the children that weren't out there, and weren't getting hit with the old times. A+

No demerits luckily. OP, I personally wouldn't bother. Pretty small fine and you'll still get a few demerits regardless. Unless you're close to getting suspended I don't think it'd be worth it to get the demerits lowered
