Saving Your Demerit Points

Everyone should be fighting their traffic tickets to save or reduce the demerit points that are applied to the driving record/abstract and to avoid insurance increases.

Most moving violations including speeding tickets have demerit points in Ontario.

When drivers receive a traffic ticket the reasons for fighting the ticket are two fold;

1. To save or reduce the demerit points on the traffic ticket
2. To keep the conviction way from the insurance company

When you fight a traffic ticket your looking to save money, keep insurance low and save demerit points.

Many traffic tickets have hidden penalties other than demerit points, including licence suspensions and increased insurance premiums.

Any accumulation of traffic tickets on a driving record will dramatically affect the drivers insurance for up to three (3) years.

One traffic ticket may not affect the insurance but a second ticket will.  As traffic tickets are kept on the driving abstract for three (3) years if the driver pays a first ticket they do not know if they are going to receive another ticket in the three year period.

Once the driver receives a traffic ticket the first thing to do is learn about the ticket and educate yourself;

1. How is the ticket going to affect you and your class of licence?
2. Is this a first or second traffic ticket?
3. Does the ticket have demerit points on it?
4. Does the ticket have any hidden penalties like licence suspensions?

After analyzing the ticket consider how to fight the ticket.  Are you going to fight it yourself or get professional help?
