I am so surprised how lenient Ontario is.
Super cheap ticket and Grumpy said the first doesn't affect your rate... lost 2 points here on my first, paid 100 bucks for insurance and lost my bonus lol

Yeah, it can be lenient (depends a lot on who you get and your attitude though) for sure. Mostly, it just feels like they want your money with as little fuss as possible, so as long as you are polite and you weren't going extremely quickly, most officers just write things down to 15 over right at the side of the road so that there are no points and no real reason for you to fight it (because you can't get it reduced further - so your only option is win or lose...and do you really take a day off work to argue about a ticket that costs less than $100.
Fairly smart of them I'd say. All bets are off if you are doing 51km/h over though...at that point you can just reasonably expect to wait for Mr. Tow Truck driver to show up.
