Traffic Ticket Demerit Points

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:

• save or reduce the demerit points on the traffic ticket
• keep the conviction way from the insurance company

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

Drivers need to fight their traffic tickets to:

• save or reduce the demerit points,
• keep the ticket off the driving record,
• to avoid or reduce any insurance increases.

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.

Convictions for all traffic tickets are kept on the driving record for 3 years.

The first thing to do is learn and educate yourself:

• how is the ticket going to affect you
• how will your insurance be affected
• is this a first or second traffic ticket
• does the ticket have demerit points
• does the ticket have any hidden penalties
  • e.g licence suspensions

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