As I have stated above once already, a radar detector ticket is a NON moving violation, just like a no front place ticket. And those don't affect your insurance. |
sorry, but the info was in a handout that I picked up at the collision reporting centre on maple grove. Not sure why it isn't listed on the site but if you do a search for "speed measuring warning device" on the site posted above, you will find this (for some reason whenever I try to open it IE shuts down, otherwise I would've found the paragraph)

You actually lose 3 points for it
edit, got it to work, from that link
2. Transit & Road Safety Bill
The Transit and Road Safety Bill was introduced in the Legislature on February 21, 2005, by the Minister of Transportation. It proposes wide-ranging changes that will improve safety and reduce congestion on roads and highways across the province.
The Transit and Road Safety Bill would, if passed:
Improve safety on local roads by increasing fines and harmonizing demerit points for drivers who do not stop or yield the right of way at pedestrian and school crossings;
Enhance safety by requiring motorists to remain stopped at school crossings;
Improve safety for construction workers by doubling speeding fines in construction zones, allowing municipal staff to set speed limits in municipal construction zones, and creating an offence for disobeying a traffic slow and stop sign;
Increase safety and reduce congestion by allowing Variable Speed Limit systems to suit road and weather conditions;
Increase fines for speeding 30-34 km/h over the posted speed limit and allow the courts to impose longer driver licence suspensions for convicted repeat offenders who speed 50 km/h over the limit;
Allow all municipalities to set 30 km/h speed limit in areas where traffic calming measures are in place (e.g., speed bumps);
Create an offence for flying vehicle parts;
Improve daily commercial vehicle inspection standards;
***Introduce demerit points for using speed measuring warning devices; ***
Clear the way to designate and enforce High Occupancy Vehicle lanes to encourage carpooling;
Provide the authority to designate Bus Bypass Shoulders;
Allow land to be dedicated for new carpool lots and transit stations during planning stages;
Improve transit commute times by allowing transit vehicles to pre-empt traffic signals to lengthen a green light or change a red light to green sooner;
Introduce higher penalties for the fraudulent use of a driver's licence;
Allow for the use of studded tires by residents of Northern Ontario;
Allow for faster clearance of highway incidents by clarifying police powers to remove, or order the removal of vehicles and debris;
Provide authority to gather data through roadside surveys in support of transportation planning;
Create an offence for taxi/limousine owners, arrangers and drivers to carry passengers without required permits/licences;
Recover the cost of demerit point interviews from drivers who must attend these interviews due to poor driving behaviour; and
Make enhancements to driver education.
