speeding
loves a little speed. You are in your car on a sunny, warm day, music is turned up to a song
that you love and you find yourself pressing down on the gas pedal. The next thing you know,
out of no where come the flashing lights of the police.
That kind of thing happens often to many people in the world in this day and age. We are a race
of people who love speed. Race...that is the key word here. Mankind has become so obsessed
with time that it is exactly that...a race to get to wherever it is that they have to go. This
is basically an overview of the series of articles on speeding and i just wanted to let you
know what it is that you have in store for you.
This series of articles cover speeding laws, demerit points, speeding tickets,
speeding offense and also how to beat a speeding ticket. Here, in the following
paragraphs is just a run down of what you will be reading once you decide to check out the
other articles.
On Speeding laws:
Most traffic laws are different than they were years ago and they may differ from country
to country, state to state or province to province. There is a big a difference also
between using vehicle without a valid operator's licence, and operating a vehicle
without a valid drivers license, these two are somewhat different. Also, remember that
the operating of a vehicle without proof of a license is against the law, so always carry
your license with you.
On Demerit points:
Demerit points are like a penalty that is recorded on a person's record when they break
certain traffic laws. These points will range normally from between one to ten points for
an offence. This depends upon where you reside.
When you get your learner's permit or as it is known in Canada your three sixty five, you
start with zero points on your license. This is a good thing, you want to keep it that way.
These points will then add up if you accidentally break a traffic rule that uses demerit
points as a punishment. In some cases a ticket might be issued along with the demerit
points.
On Speeding offences:
Failing to stop after an accident, failure to report an accident, refusing a roadside
breath test, in charge with excess alcohol after being in charge with excess alcohol
refusing to provide a specimen for analysis, driving under the influence, speeding
(non-motorway) and speeding (motorway) are all examples of offenses that can land you
either with a fine, in court or in jail.
One of penalties mentioned for a speeding offense is what is called a fixed penalty
notice. These are normally dealt with by taking three penalty points and issuing a fine
for however much is deemed fit in the area where you live.
