Regardless of the vehicle in front of you, the fact remains you were still speeding.
If you drive a car that women and car enthusiasts are going to notice more than other vehicles on the road it will probably stand out more to the police as well.
GL in court.

You didn't get my point. Police officer are not allowed to write tickets in other police jurisdiction.
The OPP cannot write you a ticket if your speeding on city street but can pull you over and wait for the city police to write you one. a City cop can pull you over on the highway but cannot write you a ticket and they have to wait for OPP to write you one. It's the law

Same as the OPP, they can charge you on regional roads. they are all police officers. they all go to the same police college and all represent ontario. trust me, they can all charge you no matter where you are.

yup, a cop can pull you over anywhere they darn well please, usually charge you too if they want (or at least detain you). all this 'jurisdiction' talk is b.s. - it only matters when you cross provincial borders or into the US obviously.

If a police officer from Peel pull you over in Hamilton and charge you. The office must go to court on his own time because peel police station will not pay for your time in Hamilton.
Also non OPP officer doesn't force the law on the highway as a OPP officer might.
Glad to know tons of Cops to clear things up

i work with a lot of police officers everyday, and have been on 400 series highways while a regional police service is charging the drivers and what not. you're right, metro/peel etc. don't operate on the highways/patrol them, but if they witness some ass hat aggressive driving/speeding or what not, they do have the right to stop and charge them...

Pretty intense looking left, right, front, back & up & down for cops now.
Been putting some major seat time in, what a great car.

If the court drops it to a 70 bucks ticket. You shouldn't lose any points. Anything over $100 you get 2 points.
Points are based on the violation. You can find it listed in the HTA or on the Ministry website. In terms of speeding anything 15km over the limit is 2 points or more. Hence why in court what normally happens is ppl plead down to 10 or 15 over the limit. The fines for speeding are related to whatever you get convicted of, at least intially. For every km over the limit it's 15 bucks or something like that. The JP can adjust the amount in court but has no power to remove demerit points.
