So the deal is that with each kmph over the limit, you will be charged $7.70. They’re moving from a fixed range rating to this new one in hopes that people will just slow down. These changes come into effect after the new year.
| Speeding | Current ticket amount* | New amount (Jan. 1, 2010) |
| 10-12 km/h over the speed limit | $164.00 | $177.50 – $202.75 |
| 13-15 km/h over | $190.80 | $216 – $241.25 |
| 16-19 km/h over | $220.50 | $253.50 – $292 |
| 20-34 km/h over | $278.00 | $304.25 – $482.50 |
| 35-49 km/h over | $448.50 | $494.75 – $673 |
| 50-99 km/h over | $619.00 | $685.25 – $1,303.25 |
| 100-120 km/h over | $1,187.00 | Determined in court |
| More than 120 km/h over | Determined in court | Determined in court |
If they were trying to just stop people from speeding, why not hike them up to $100 for every kmph over? It feels like the idea is to let people know they should only speed a little bit over, but not too much. The only people who would be against something like this are the ones who speed on a regular basis… which is what the system is trying to eliminate. Of course, that’s totally just a random opinion.
Stay safe this holiday season!
