Fight Every Speeding Ticket

Nov 27 2013

Read the other one, from the police perspective, here.

We speak with Jason Baxter at X-Copper Legal Services on why he feels it best to fight every ticket.

Read it online at Autonet.ca.

Favourite line:

Always fight a speeding ticket, because the insurance company can use that one ticket to raise your rates for three years.

You do this for the insurance game – not to save on the ticket itself, but in an art-of-the-long-view thing.

Okay woah, this one really set people off over at Autonet… 118 comments what?! Might be a site record.

Speaking with Constable Stibbe, the toughest enforcer on the team. Last year he wrote over 5,000 speeding tickets, or 20/day.

He details how to avoid a ticket, and what to do if you get pulled over.

Even the “toughest enforcer” waves people on. As Stibbe says, “hey, everyone has the occasional bad day.”

The Solomon Curve shows the relationship between average speed and collision rates.

Drivers at the greatest risk are those moving slower than the rest of traffic.

The fastest way to get in a crash, is to go slow.

Interesting eh – speed doesn’t kill, slowness does.

And really, if the road feels too fast for you, stay off of it.
