Demerit Points

Demerit points are recorded on your Ontario driver's licence following certain traffic convictions. Different offences carry different numbers of points.

Why it matters:
Accumulating too many demerit points can result in warnings, interviews, or licence suspension. Your driving record can also play a role in how insurers assess your policy.

How we can help:
We'll help you understand how a ticket could affect your driving record and explain your options before you decide how to proceed.

Licence Suspensions

A driver's licence can be suspended for a number of reasons, including certain convictions, accumulated demerit points, unpaid fines, or other circumstances.

Why it matters:
Being unable to legally drive can have a significant impact on your work, family, and day-to-day life. Driving while suspended can also lead to additional charges and penalties.
