    You'll end up with that $1800 fine for sure and definitely a period of suspension...but that's the price for having fun and putting innocent lives at risk, I do it all the time.

    Looked it up and the QE2 averages around 28,000-32,000 cars a day. So even if less than 1% goes over 130 that's still a few hundred. I doubt 15,000 or more are going over 130.

    Still possible... I know because I just had a ticket Nadeau and Assc. fought for me in the last year that I was able to get all three points dropped and I just paid the fine. I was told that it is not as common anymore though, and the reason I got it was because my record has been exceptionally clean for a long time. If I was a frequent ticket getter I would not have been given that option...

    There are no empty highways anywhere within an hours drive of Calgary. These days with the sheriffs, nowhere is safe from speed traps.

    You folks on the GDL, learn your lesson on the first couple tickets and you won't have a problem.
    EDIT: And I'm not pretending that I've never driven above the speed limit. I used to speed everywhere. The thing is, when the Alberta Solicitor General sent me a nice letter tell me to chill the fuck out because I had a lot of tickets (I was at 12 demerits), guess what, I chilled the fuck out, stopped speeding for two years, and hey, I didn't lose my license.
    Take some responsibility for your actions. Anyone who loses their license for too many tickets, deserves to lose their license. Simple as that.

    110% Agree.

    They really ramped up the amount of Alberta Sheriff's (essentially highway patrol) by a decent amount from what I have observed when I used to commute to Edmonton 4 times a month for a year from 2010-2011.

    I don't really see the point in speeding tbh, if you go 130KM/h all the way to Edmonton - you'll only get there 20 minutes faster or so...not really worth the ticket imo and getting pat down'd by RCMP

    If you can convince a crown that you know you screwed up etc etc, and need your licence, you may get it reduced from 153 down to 150. If so its a $351 ticket and 4 demerits.
    In this city you can still pay for your freedom.It's all a matter of how fat his wallet is.

    So what ever happened to the September court date?
    For the 3 kph over the threshold of bad things gonna happen, this should have been easy to plead down. Be different if it was 13 or 23 kph over, but 3? Radar/laser calibration, speedo error etc.
    The Crown would have to have a real hate on for your ass if they wouldn't take the deal.

    Yep, OP is the ONLY Beyonder who's ever driven past the speed limit, and most definitely without a doubt the only one who's done douche-y shit on the road.

    Good luck in court OP.
