It's easy to avoid tickets on Highway 7, the cops sit at the end of the passing lane sections and nab people who rocket through hoping to get in front of a pack. Avoid that trap and drive the speed the road and traffic will support (which is usually not that fast) and you won't pick up a ticket.

401 varies a little more but the trick there is to watch it through Napanee, on busy weekends officer Bob sits on top of one of the rock cuts in a lawn chair with the radar gun and he has as many as 6 cruisers chasing down the people he clocks. No mercy in the courts in Napanee either, if they clock you at 121 km you'll pay the 120 or over fine.
