Fighting Your Speeding Ticket In Ontario

Avoid demerit points, fines and hefty increases to your insurance premiums. 
One ticket can cost you more than you think.

Speeding in Ontario, as defined under Section 128 of the Highway Traffic Act (HTA), occurs when a driver exceeds the posted speed limit or drives at a speed deemed unsafe for prevailing road or weather conditions. Penalties for this offence can increase significantly based on the extent of the violation.

Why fight a speeding ticket in Ontario?

You might be inclined to just pay the speeding ticket and move on. Keep in mind paying the ticket is pleading guilty to the offence. A speeding ticket in Ontario is more than just an inconvenience—it can have serious long-term effects on your financial well-being, driving record, and overall mobility. Convictions result in steep fines, the accumulation of demerit points, increased insurance premiums, and, in some cases, even license suspensions that can impact your daily life and work. A speeding conviction in Ontario typically remains on a driver’s record for three years from the date of conviction. However, its impact on insurance rates may last longer, as many insurance companies assess driving history beyond three years.

Consequences of Speeding

The fines for speeding in Ontario are calculated based on how much a driver exceeds the posted speed limit. Here’s what you could face if charged:

Additionally, drivers convicted of exceeding the speed limit by 50 km/h or more may face severe penalties. Speeding violations in Ontario can quickly escalate into careless driving, stunt driving, or racing offences, leading to severe consequences such as heavy fines, license suspensions, vehicle impoundment, and even jail time. If you are facing any of these charges, it is highly advisable to seek legal advice to understand your options and potential defenses.

Other Consequences:

License Suspension: Potential temporary suspension of your driver’s license, especially for repeat offences or high demerit point totals.

Increased Insurance Premiums: A speeding conviction typically results in higher insurance rates due to the elevated risk profile.
Escalating Consequences: Accumulating multiple speeding convictions within a short period can lead to higher penalties, license suspensions, or even the loss of insurance coverage.
