Pictured ■ ; I Slow Down or Pay Higher Fines Toronto - Ontario Transportation Transportation Minister William Wrye today announced that higher fines for speeding offences offences will go into effect March 1,1990. "The new fines demonstrate demonstrate our commitment to crack down on those drivers who deliberately risk the safety of others by exceeding. posted speed limits," Wrye said. Wrye added that the in creased fines "will hit speeders speeders where it hurts - in the pocketbook - making it a costly proposition to willfully willfully exceed the speed limit." : Under the new schedule, maximum fines will triple at the top end of of the scale.' For example, those convicted convicted of driving 60 km over the speed limit could pay $585, up from $195 under the existing existing schedule. A conviction for driving 15 km above the posted limit will cost as much as $45, instead of $18.75. "The higher fines will restore restore the deterrent value eroded by two decades of inflation inflation since the last in- • crease," Wiye said. Thresholds at .which different different fine levels take effect have also been adjusted downwards to encourage safer safer driving. Following are the current and new fine schedules. Existing speeding fine •* schedule: 1-19 km/h over - $1.25 -2 km/h, 20-39 km/h over $1.75 km/h, 40-59 km/h over -' - $2.50 km/h, 60 or more km/; ■ h over - $3.25 km/h Vj Starting Thursday, March 1: i 1-19 km/h over - $3.00 ■ km/h, 20-34 km/h over - ; $4.50 km/h, 35-49 km/h over - $7.00 km/h, 50 or more km/ h over - $9.75 km/h.

Everyone wants the children's education to be consistent with their own understanding of what life is all about. Christian parents are no different. They want an education for their children that encourages, rather than hinders, the life of faith that is started in the home. That is why an increasing number of parents have chosen Christian schools for their children.
