Just recently had to make a donation of $241 and 4 points for doing 57 kph through a deserted school zone, the school had broken up for Christmas holidays one week before, but no chance of getting out of that one, Just gotta take it on the chin.
Must admit I'm still a bit of a lead foot on the highways and back roads when conditions are good, but not in built up areas. I have slowed down quite a bit in the last few years now that the police hold all the cards Years ago an eagle eye, a bit of local knowledge, and a good GPS fixed camera warning device could keep you out of trouble, but not any more.
On the highway the cruise control in my XR6 has become my best friend.

The school 40kmh zones are only for designated times on school days. They do not apply out of those times.
If it's not too late you should do something about it.
