    Ontario is $615, or $1000 if you try and fight it, but since 2020, police stopped enforcing.

    Also 3 demerit points and 3 days licence suspension, huge hit on insurance.

    Second conviction, $2000 and 6 points, 7 day suspension

    Third conviction, $3000, 6 points and 30 day suspension, and insurnace will cancel and force you to a predatory insurer for 5 years.

    All bullshit, no one gets charged.

      It’s €350 in the Netherlands, but it is also enforced. There’s special camera’s on highwats to detect for phone use. If you use a phone while riding a bicycle, that’s €140. That one isn’t enforced as much (but I’ve seen plenty of teenager get one), but I think its good that the fine exists.

        Ontario couldn’t even put speed cameras in school zones without drivers claiming “unfair fines”, “tax on driving”, “it’s not legitmate if it wasn’t a cop”, and “this is an attack on our freedom of mobility”.

          Simple, look it up, when they are issuing tickets, what percentage are Rich-Super Rich Economic Classes/Owners & Poor Economic Class/Employees?
          I know they are sending out tickets to violators, if they were not media would all over it, especially outside The USA. When I still drove, many years ago, have had violated the traffic laws & had Red Light Camera catch me once & then had them issue me a traffic ticket, when it was not my vehicle, because the processing corporation suck so bad, not even on the same coast of The USA!
