Fight Every Speeding Ticket

A 2-part mini-series on speeding.

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.

Update

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

Speeding Advice from the Police

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.

Favourite line:

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

Speed Doesn’t Kill, Slowness Does

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.

Favourite line:

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.
