Ticket Classifications
All convictions that are recorded on your drivers abstract will be classified as either minor, major or serious. If you have been found guilty of the violation, a conviction is entered by the court and registered on your driving abstract. Insurance companies can view your driving record and able to see not only how many tickets you had but also type of violations. This classification is arguably one of the most important factors in assessing your insurance premiums. Skilled defence representative can help you minimizing its impact.
What are the consequences of a traffic ticket?
Accumulating Demerit Points on your driving record can lead to significant consequences, including:
- Suspension of your driver’s license: A high number of demerit points can result in a suspension, impacting your ability to drive.
- Increased insurance premiums: Convictions on your record can lead to higher rates for your auto insurance.
- Fines: Traffic tickets often come with substantial fines, which can add up quickly if you receive multiple violations.
The Ontario Highway Traffic Act outlines certain infractions that carry automatic license suspensions if convicted. Novice drivers holding G2 and M2 licenses (or their combinations) are especially affected by demerit points.
Do not rush to "Plead Guilty" to the allegations! Remember, it is only an ALLEGATION that an offence was committed. We urge you to become "INFORMED" of consequences of the conviction and explore available defences to the allegations. The prosecution has a burden of PROVING the case beyond reasonable doubt. Convictions are registered on your driving record, affect your insurance premiums, cause loss of demerit points and/or suspension of your driving license.
