Two years ago I got a speeding ticket. No big deal... I did the standard procedure of making a trial date and then pleading guilty to the lesser charge. So the gavel was proverbially dropped and I was handed a ticket for 15 km/h over the speed limit which is a $37.50 fine but no demerit points. I paid the ticket online and, on top of the $37.50, had to pay a $5.00 court surcharge, a $10.00 provincial surcharge, and then a $3.00 "convenience fee" for using their online payment system for a grand total of $55.50. What a racket. Just make the stupid ticket $55.50 and be done with it. The $3.00 convenience fee is what really kills me. If anything, you should get $3.00 off for paying online for not clogging the lines at the court-house. What a racket.
