not speeding thank god but this one is also pricey

i got a 120 ticket canadian
which is somethin like 80 american

i dont care bout the money
but is this going to affect insurance!

 

I may be wrong, but I think it may affect insurance. Your right turn is a moving violation just like speeding, running a red, or the like. You may be able to take defensive driving to get it taken care of though.

You get a ticket for making a right hand turn at a certian time of the day? Thank god i live in the US =)

 

xHypex Nice shine on your max

 

Don't rejoice too much man.
Here, in the Socialist Republic of California*, there exist many of the same kinds of laws as he mentioned and some that are unimaginable to have in a free state/country...

*It's not called the "Left Coast" for no reason you know.

 

Where do you live? In any metro area you can have no left turn, M-F, 15 mph when flashing, no right turn 8 am to 6 pm, etc. Depends on traffic needs. It's not a canadian thing.

BTW 120 canadian is about 79.50 US which is a nice price. I just paid $94 for "drive safe speed" last Monday. But I'm the one laughing to the bank! I decided to buy a blue-chip mutual fund the next day to make up for the money and I'm up $160 so far. So even though one is not really related to the other, my mind is at total ease. The worst thing you can do is take a ticket personally. Ask yourself, do you envy the cop's job? Getting paid 50,000 per year when your life is on the line is no bargain. 22 year-olds fresh out of the university earn more than that these days.

 

wow,
City driving is strange... hehe. Here in hicksville (aka maine) we dont have crazy things like that =)

 

Thanks JD, The pic isn't even photoshopped I guess sx7r just one hell of a photographer. As for weird laws, here in Dallas there are a few places that I can think of that have certain times when you cannot make right turns. Does anyone agree/disagree with me that this will raise your insurance? I have no insurance background to back myself up, but from what I know any moving violation will increase insurance rates.

Just to prove you wrong there in Maine man, I live in West Texas (Midland, Texas to be exact) and let me tell you, I live in Hicksville U.S.A. We also have that right turn law at one of our stoplights here around Lee High School.

 

Assuming Canada has a similar system for handling traffic violations, fight the ticket. You may be able to pay a fine with no points. Any violation that puts points on your record will affect your insurance.

canada has a similar system? i thought they were communists =P
Vic

 

no doubt that in the US this would raise your insurance if found guilty and give points. But, the thign I don't know is if you gte points on a US license from a canadian ticket...I mean, how would they report it to your insurance company/DMV anyways?

xHypex, nice finish on your car! what kind of wax do you use?

 

I just read in the latest SCC that running a red light adds 2 points to your record. I assume this is true for stop signs, and other similiar moving violations.
Demian: Funny you ask about wax.... This pic was taken at the last Dallas meet, and the weather was starting to get cold. I hadn't waxed my car for about 3-4 months, and that day since it was cold I decided to go through a (god forbid) drive through car wash. My only explanation is that sx7r is one hell of a photographer and should be employed by some magazine.
