“Should I just pay the ticket?” is a question that our professionals are often asked. The answer, to be honest, depends on the type of ticket received. For example, Parking Violations carry no demerit points, so paying Parking Tickets will not impact your clean driving record or increase your insurance.
However, paying the fine on Traffic Tickets issued under the Highway Traffic Act can seriously affect your right to drive in the province of Ontario, your Insurance Rates and your ability to seek gainful employment in fields that require a clean driving abstract. Before you make that important decision, consider the penalty involved with the offence you have been charged with:
How Demerit Points Effect Your Ontario Licence:
| 2 Points | Ministry of Transportation (MTO) sends a warning letter |
| 6 Points | An interview with the MTO is scheduled to determine why your license should not be suspended |
| 9 Points | Your license can be suspended for 90 days |
| 6 Points | Warning letter from the Ministry of Transportation |
| 9 Points | Interview with the MTO is scheduled to determine why your license should not be suspended |
| 15 Points | Licence Suspension for 30 days. Failure to surrender license can lead to an additional 2 year suspension |
