Keep your $ and keep safe this summer!

Hot on the heels of the Provincial Government announcing that the maximum fines for
certain Highway Traffic Act offences have doubled, Ontario police services have now been
advised that the roadside fines have also increased.

An $85 seat-belt ticket now will cost $200 ($240 with costs) starting January 1, 2010.

Going through a red light will jump from $150 to $260 ( $325 with costs)

Failing to pull to the right for an emergency vehicle will cost $400 ($490 with costs)
instead of $85.

In a continued effort to make Ontario's roads the safest in North America these
increases will hopefully act as a deterrence to drivers who fail to recognize the safety issues associated with responsible driving.
