Got a speeding ticket in Ontario? Even a minor offence can lead to fines, demerit points, and higher insurance premiums. We’ll help you fight the ticket, reduce the penalties, and keep your driving record in good standing.
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.
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 insurance companies may assess driving history beyond three years.
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.
