Ticket color

**ts87** · 05-03-2012, 01:34 PM

Hey, just curious, i got a ticket for 43 over which is still a minor i believe but it is green vs all the other tickets i got which were yellow and a buddy of mine also got a ticket a couple days ago and it was yellow as well, just wondering what the green color means, if it is a f up and i can use that to fight it?

Not sure about the colours but I believe anything 30km/hr and over is a major ticket to insurance companies.

Regardless fight it 43 over is high, I mean 50 and they impound your ride I guess its minor compared.

Maybe they're taking the whole "going green" thing literally?

I believe it depends on the insurance company but my understanding was that it's generally 49km/h and under that is considered minor.

Not sure on the authenticity of this site but:

"0 – 15 km/hr over = 0 points (minor infraction)
16 – 29km/hr over = 3 points (minor infraction)
30 – 49 km/hr over = 4 points (major infraction)
50+ km/hr over = 6 points + 30 day license
50+km/hr over (Stunt Driving/Speed Racing) = 6 points + immediate 7 day licence suspension and car impoundment + up to 2 year additional licence suspension upon conviction."

I only say 49km/h and under because someone..ahem..got a ticket knocked down to 49km/h and his insurance advised him that's considered a minor to them.

Well I was just going off what I remembered in the G1 book (15 years ago) lol, So I guess if "someone" has been through it, they probably know more then I do
