No, you’ll still get demerits, unfortunately. ---

Photo Radar = No demerits Laser Radar = Demerits Read here for all your demerit info: > **[POINTTS™ The Traffic Ticket Specialists](http://pointts.com)** > > POINTTS™ The Traffic Ticket Specialists is the first and largest firm of independent paralegals to offer legal services in Canada. We fight for you! I believe you will have 1 demerit on your record if this was your first offence. If you do not want it on, go ask for a lessor sentence…it always works! And lastly a funny story: Aussies Rule! Four youths from Canberra, Australia pulled off a trick of breathtaking bravado in order to gain revenge on a mobile speed camera van operating in the area. Three of the group approached the van and distracted the operator’s attention by asking a series of questions about how the equipment worked and how many cars the operator could catch in a day. Meanwhile, the fourth musketeer sneaked to the front of the van and unscrewed its numberplate. After bidding the van operator goodbye, the friends returned home, fixed the number plate to their car and drove through the camera’s radar at high speed - 17 times. As a result, the automated billing system issued 17 speeding tickets to itself." ---

Nice. Bryce, before you pay the ticket outright, ask to speak to the crown prosecutor. Tell him that you’re guilty and don’t want to fight the ticket, but ask them to drop all the demerits in exchange for paying the full fine. This is called “pleading to a lesser charge”, is commonplace, and can save you a bunch of money on your car insurance without switching to GEICO. 😃 Seriously though, it works…I’ve done it myself. Most insurance companies will give you a “freebie” ticket before they jack your rates, as long as you don’t get a ticket for street racing/dangerous driving and so on. ---
