but you have the right to your day in court for ANY ticket.

...and you also have the right to pay all the legal fees that incurs, and - if you lose - face the possibility of a higher fine...

I still don't think that part is true (still referring to the U.S. here). If you fight a speeding ticket and lose, then you pay the ticket in its original form. The judge doesn't say "Oh? You wanna fight huh? Reckless Driving!" You cannot be punished for defending your innocence.

As an Ontario resident I'm happy that I should no longer see texting while driving (yes it really happens). Something that concerns me even more is the number of drivers I see with their pets sitting on their lap or laying in the back window while they drive. One can remain in control of a vehicle while talking on the phone, but if Fido jumps on your lap from the passenger seat or backseat, it is very easy to lose control. All pets should be in a kennel or in a caged off area of the vehicle (station wagon, van), otherwise a fine should be immediately issued.

There is a lot of research into what people purchase. Electric is not a big seller. At least not now. There are some choices there but they are being bought slower than enthusiastically. If enthusiasm goes up, manufacturers will start making them.
