Cruzing along, late at night on the ONE winding road we have here. From a stoplight went smoothly from first, to second, to third, and just stepped on it for a second. I shifted into fourth and was off the gas when I passed the cop.

4 points! Ouch! That is gonna hurt the insurance for real.

This is how it works in Ontario now:

You exercise option 3 on your ticket.

You fill out a form.

You get a first attendance appointment with the prosecutor.

If you come to a plea-bargain you go to court immediately and have it put to record.

If you do not come to a plea-bargain, you set a court date to fight the offense. No plea-bargains are given on court dates anymore.

$200? Not bad. Try doing that in Va 1k a ticket.

More like $1300 a ticket.

$1,050, plus $61 in court costs and a fine that is typically about $200. - quoted from USA Today -

On the subject of radar detectors, what's a good one to buy?

I did some research here:

http://www.radarbusters.com/

and settled on a bell rx55 which I picked up for under $200. It's not the best out there and gets lots of false alerts but it saved my ass enough times that I ain't complaining.

Unfortunately with radar detectors you get what you pay for. The more expensive models >$300 are usually among the best with the least false alerts while the sub $300 range is the middle of the pack and so on. I'd aim for the middle or higher. If money is no problem then just get something like a valentine 1.

I got the Beltronics Vector 955 and it works great. It detects 5.0s way before I see them.

got nailed for 124 in a 65, Reckless driving(improper lane change) and driving with no headlights.

308.50 for the speeding and 118.50 for the other two. Went to court on July 3rd for all 3. Judge was sick so they withdrew all points and fines and just charged for court fee on a plea of no contest. Only paid 280 total with no points.

wow that was lucky for you! I've only had one ticket and it was for making a right turn on a red (cuz i didn't see the no right turn sign.) and a cop was sitting like right behind me when i did it, and i didn't think anything of it cuz I made a complete stop! And then when SHE pulled me over, I was like "umm...what did I do wrong?" :-(
