They gave me 24 hours to show up to the station with insurance when I was caught without it. He might have just been nice to me though and that was a long time ago.

or you could go to the doctor or something and get a piece of paper that proves you arn't fit to drive at all, so then there is no need for proof of insurence because you arn't supposed to be driving so then can't write you a ticket for it because u couldn't even get insurence if u tried

you just bring the license and the insurance to the court and they reduce the fine to something like 20$. at least that's what happens here.

Traffic tickets is tax revenue, I thought Canadians believe in paying their taxes.

In america even if you cant pay the fine will just increase till they put you in jail. But that doesnt erase the fine now you have to pay even more. Set up a payment plan get charged 5-10 in "fees" every time you pay. You can be essentially sent to debtors prison for a speeding ticket or even a parking ticket.
Man up take the hit dont fight it cause here in america if you fight it and lose you have to pay court cost in addition to the increase in the fine.

Do you have traffic ticket lawyers up north? Every moving violation I've ever received has been contested by such a lawyer. The outcome every time was $59 for the lawyer service, ~$100 in court fees. Obviously much less than the price of the tickets.
More importantly, if you contest it in court and you win, you won't receive any points on your license. Again, I don't even know if Canada does a points system but if so you should really look into going the traffic lawyer route.

We have points but what worries me is the impact on the indurance premium.
The premium goes up after like 4 tickets. The points reset after 2 years

You won't receive any points on your license if you have a lawyer contest it and win. No points equals no insurance premium rise as the infractions have been dismissed.
Again, it may be different where you live.

You lucky bitch. Those same fines here would probably go over 1k easy.
I'm not sure how it works in Canoodia, but here you can choose to take "driver improvement courses".. even online... it's more money you have to pay but it either reduces the points that goes on your license or doesn't put any points at all, depending on the ticket. You still have to pay the tickets. This varies state to state here so who the fuck knows how Canoodia works. Or lawyer up but that costs more than your tickets unless you have one in your back pocket.
Alternately you could try showing up to court to fight it, and if the cop doesn't show up they may drop it completely. Again.. Canada.. so maybe they don't do that.. but if they did the cop would probably show up. It's Canada after all, it's not like he'll be too busy shooting people.

You can contest. If you want the officer to be there you tick the box requiring him to be there.
Here you can pretty much negociate with the Crown. There are many ways to get out of paying for a ticket. As long as the dude agrees.
No lawyers needed.

Well shit then, do that. Make the dude agree. Maybe you can convince them you are an upstanding Canadian citizen and you can instead just work at a maple syrup farm for a couple days.
Just think.. free maple syrup.
