Even the most minor of speeding tickets can have a lasting impact on your driving record and raise insurance premiums. If you have been charged with speeding, call Traffic Court Advocates before paying your fine. Even speeding tickets without demerit points stay on your record for three (3) years, affecting your insurance and driving up rates. Speeding penalties are as follows:
0 – 15 kms over the limit = 0 demerit points
16 – 29 kms over the limit = 3 demerit points
30 – 49 kms over the limit = 4 demerit points
50+ kms over the limit = 6 demerit points*
*Please note that under Section 172 of the Highway Traffic Act, Stunt Driving charges may apply to those traveling 50+ kilometers over the speed limit.
Repeat speeding offences will lead to the accumulation of demerit points, resulting in the suspension of your driver’s licence.
Even if your speeding ticket was warranted, call Traffic Court Advocates before you pay. We will examine all police reports prior to your court date and prepare a strategy best suited to protect your driving record, and eliminate or reduce the ticket and related fines.
