Fight Your Traffic Ticket in Ontario

A traffic ticket is more than a fine. It can affect your insurance, your demerit points, your driving record, and your ability to keep driving.

Highway Traffic Act

Speeding Fines in Ontario

Speeding fines are calculated per kilometre over the posted limit. The fines, demerit points, and insurance consequences escalate with speed.

  • 1-19 km/h over: fines can apply with no demerit points
  • 20-29 km/h over: higher fines and 3 demerit points
  • 30-49 km/h over: higher fines and 4 demerit points
  • 50+ km/h over: stunt driving exposure, 6 demerit points, suspension, and vehicle impoundment

Stunt driving allegations are urgent. Do not simply pay or ignore the ticket. Call us first.

Common offences

Traffic Charges We Help With

Ontario drivers face steep penalties for many common offences. Fighting the charge is often worth it because the true cost is usually larger than the listed fine.

  • Speeding and stunt driving
  • Red light and stop sign offences
  • Handheld electronic device charges
  • Careless driving
  • Driving without insurance
  • Driving while suspended
  • Failing to remain or report
  • Parking infractions that create renewal or collections issues
What is at stake

Insurance, Demerit Points, and Your Driving Record

A single conviction can cause insurance premiums to increase for years. Traffic convictions also remain visible on your driving abstract, and serious offences can create longer-term consequences.

  • Demerit points can lead to MTO interviews or licence suspension
  • G1 and G2 drivers face stricter consequences
  • Insurance increases can cost far more than fighting the ticket
  • Unpaid fines or unresolved matters can create renewal problems
Do not plead guilty too quickly

Why You Should Fight Your Traffic Ticket

Many drivers simply pay their tickets. In most cases, that means pleading guilty. Once a conviction is entered, the consequences may be difficult to undo.

We review the evidence, request disclosure where appropriate, assess the officer's notes, and identify whether the charge can be challenged, reduced, or resolved on better terms.
