Demerit Points for G2 Drivers in Ontario

Demerit points can lead to serious penalties for G2 drivers in Ontario due to strict regulations for novice drivers. If a G2 driver accumulates demerit points, the Ministry of Transportation Ontario (MTO) imposes penalties based on the number of points accumulated.

  • 2 or more points: Warning letter from MTO
  • 6 points: Mandatory MTO interview, potential for suspension
  • 9 points: Automatic 60-day license suspension

G2 drivers need to be cautious, as accumulating demerit points can quickly result in license suspensions and other penalties.

The Impact of Demerit Points on Your Driving Record

It is important to remember that courts do not have jurisdiction to deal with demerit points in Ontario. Traffic Law Paralegal Services can help you fight your traffic tickets to protect your record.

Some of the most serious violations do not carry any demerits. Offences such as driving without insurance or driving while suspended and many other violations are common examples.

Demerit points should not be your only consideration. If a traffic ticket conviction is registered on your abstract your insurance may be dramatically affected regardless of Ontario demerit points. One conviction for Careless driving may cancel your insurance premiums altogether. Drivers with G1 or G2 class licenses may face additional (in some cases hidden) suspensions as well.
