    Usually the amount is on the ticket along with where to pay the ticket..

    As far as CSA points... the thing is.. the less driving experience you have the more points you get... so, a driver with less than a year gets hit harder with points then a driver with 2 years.. and a driver with many years will fare better..

    I have never heard such!!! First off, overweight tickets do not generate points on a driver's CSA.
    2nd, please quote or try to tell us, exactly where in the regulations or in any law for that matter, where years of experience will lessen points that go on a driver's CSA? I would really love the source of your information.

    I think you're misunderstanding how CSA points work. They are not based on years of experience but instead on the age of the infraction. An infraction has more point value in the first year than in the third year.
