how do i find out the demerit points on tickets, ie carless, speeding 95/50, 100/40 etc......

It should say on the actual ticket itself.

my fav' s are

1. [2 Points] - Improper opening of a vehicle door ?
2. [2 Points] - Towing people—on toboggans, bicycles, skis, etc. [lol]
3. [2 Points] - Backing on a highway [must be a dumb person]

but the one that shocked me was [6 Points] for Racing. jezz!

yeah another point that proves racing is not worth it. 6 demerits from racing and your insurance dumps you

Ahh they dont' give u a plea down schedule on that site.

But if u look around, u should be able to find possible plea downs like if u got careless driving for example, you could plea down to following to close, which is like?....i dunno didn't read the points but maybe 4? as oposed to 6. . .

also i heared that a cop him self has to issue the points. if he/she dont say anything i guess you dont got any points. got 3 points about 5 years ago...cop asked what it going to take for me to slow down(caught for speeding 3 times in a month and a half) i said how about a ticket as joke he said how about 3 points...2 years of hell..and the insurance...now i have been speeding ticket free for 5 years now

LOL...I can see somebody doing #2 and #3, there are stupid people, but WTF is #1? How do you improperly open your door?

well see, you have to master the art of opening the door, you can't rush it.. first you got to put your hands on the handle in the car... then open.... now your left foot goes outside first..then right then you stand up. That's how you properly open a door.. geez it's not rocket science

motti

When you open it into the path of oncoming pedestrian, bicycle, or motor vehicle traffic. You are supposed to wait until the way is clear before flinging that door open.

true, if you open the door on an incoming cyclist, and (s)he falls and decides to call the cops/ambulance.....you will be charged with that offence.

i also believe/think passengers in the rear should not exit the vehicle from the left hand side doors, only towards the pavement (right side).

It may be safer to do so, but it's not law.

The law pertaining to improper door opening applies to all occupants of the vehicle, not just the driver.
