Why Fight That Speeding Ticket?

SPEEDING TICKETS – 3 to 5 YEARS LATER

If you pay that ticket, your insurance rates will likely increase dramatically. Furthermore, you will have admitted guilt to the alleged offences without exploring the available defenses to your traffic ticket or the possible consequences of the conviction. We suggest that you speak with your insurance broker regarding the consequence of a conviction, and how it will affect your insurance rates for the next 3 to 5 years. Traffic tickets remain on your driving records for at least 3 years, so it’s important you get the best legal defense. Most careers that involve driving require an unblemished abstract. You need to fight that ticket! A speeding ticket charge of 50+ km over the speed limit can result in you also being charged for Stunt Driving. Stunt Driving charges result in six demerit points and the suspension of your driver’s licence. Let our expert defense team fight to get your charge reduced.

Demerit Points for Speeding

Drivers in Ontario convicted of speeding charges in Ontario of 16+ km/h over the speed limit will be given demerit points. Demerit points will stay on your driving record for 2 years.

Possible Increase in Insurance Premiums

Speeding ticket convictions can lead to a licence suspension due to accumulating demerit points. Convictions for speeding can result in an increase in your insurance premium. Street Justice suggests you contact your insurance broker to determine how much your insurance can increase with speeding convictions. Insurance companies care about the number of convictions, so paying that minor ticket for 15 km/h over the limit and then getting a ticket for failing to surrender your insurance card. May cause your insurance premium to skyrocket out of control.

Licence Suspension

Accumulation of demerit points can result in the suspension of your driver’s licence.
