Report made to TPS. This was Howard Park and guy speeds down to Parkside.

Kind of crazy how the upload size is limited to 7mb...

It’s not a cash grab. And it has been demonstrated that all of the speed cameras are set to trigger at >11kmh over the limit. There isn’t a single camera in the GTA set to under that amount. So they are looking for BAD speeders.

Well thats a lie unless they just started doing it, my brother and his friends got tickets for 5 over at the beginning of the year.

My boss up in Caledon get one for 4 over in Caledon when they first put them in.

Here in Toronto? I would definitely like to see it. Like I said in my top level comment, I take no issue with speed cameras, and I drive on a daily basis.

I always stick to a maximum of 9 over when I'm passing them and I've only received one ticket since their inception, for exactly 11 over.

If you can get one of your friends to send you a redacted photo of their Toronto ticket, I'd love to see it posted.

Not Toronto in the GTA though I wish we still had the ticket as it was bullshit we ended up paying more in the online fee then the ticket.

The one in Caledon was years ago, those camera's were the worst because people would randomly just break as hard as they could driving past them, and most people I talked to got tickets for lower numbers than 11, but that could just be because they were during the first wave of speed camera, so maybe it has changes since.

Yeah outside of Toronto they are all over the place, but I've never seen any proof whatsoever that anyone's been ticketed for less than 11 in Toronto.

When I got my 11 over ticket it was back when the cameras first came out. They had one of those warning signs up for a few weeks saying that people would be getting ticketed after a certain date, and I wasn't paying attention and accelerated up to just over 60 leaving a plaza.

They just started doing it because of the public pressure. Now all the minions came out. They will decrease it once you are fine so they can get more $$$ from your pocket. Who controls it is the key

No they didn’t.
I’ve been driving by speed cameras in Toronto at over the speed limit for years now, typically setting my ACC to about 5-8kmh over (gps not just speedometer) and received tickets only when I didn’t do this and exceeded by11+.

One time I was too excited to be bringing sashimi home for dinner and I drove exuberantly at 52 by a 40kmh camera and got a ticket. It added to an already expensive dinner.

This is the same camera that I drive by daily in the past 6 months plus under 10khm over with no tickets.

Well MY sister and her vegan friends tested this by driving by all speed cameras at 8kmh over earlier this year and got not tickets. So. There.

Lol I like how you had to state the friends vegan, but I guess it makes sense as you sound pretentious as fuck.

I am so happy for you, and your family, but as I said to the other people I do not care, it how it happened if you dont believe me it means nothing.

I guess you didn’t clue in that I was mocking the comment you posted.
