Default Man's Logic

Yesterday whilst driving my MIL back to Calgary airport My hubby got pulled over for the 2nd time in 3 weeks for speeding.

He was fined $238 (the 1st time he was fined $177).

His comment to me (whilst I'm trying sooo hard not to mention that he has been pulled over for speeding for the 2nd time in 3 weeks).

'At least it's more exciting than getting caught by a camera....You get a light show and everything.'

Yeah he does! his second line of logic was...

'Oh I know! It's because it's a weekday! We are usually only out and about at the weekends.....'

Work that one out!

Do you get points for speeding in Canada like you do in the UK and if so, how many before you lose your licence?

That could be a very expensive light show.

It's not just the $415 in fines you may very well see an increase in the insurance premiums when it comes time for renewal.

Then hopefully that will be lesson enough for him?!?!?! Because so far it hasn't slowed him down.


As for getting points Flo&Jim. The 1st time he was stopped he was threatend with losing his licence as he was that far over the limit (over 50 clicks over the limit). I think if you challenge the fine at court you have a greater chance of getting points, so far he has escaped that.
