Our Paralegal professionals have successfully defended against numerous Speeding Tickets, and Stunt Driving charges all over the GTA and surrounding cities.
Speeding means driving in excess of the posted speed limit, contrary to the Highway Traffic Act (HTA). While many drivers assume speeding tickets are “minor,” even a single conviction can negatively affect your driving record and insurance premiums, especially when points accumulate.
Penalties depend on how far over the limit you were driving:
1–15 km/h over
Fine varies by speed (set fine increases per km/h)
0 demerit points
16–29 km/h over
Higher fine
3 demerit points
30–49 km/h over
Substantially higher fine
4 demerit points
Often triggers insurance scrutiny
50 km/h or more over
Automatically escalates to Stunt Driving (see below)
Demerit points remain on your driving record for 2 years from the offence date, and multiple convictions can place your licence at risk.
A conviction can mean:
300+ successful cases. Don’t pay the fine — fight it.

Careless driving means driving without due care and attention or without reasonable consideration for others.
Careless driving (Ontario Highway Traffic Act, s. 130) is treated as a major traffic charge because the penalties and insurance consequences can be severe, even for a first offence.
Demerit points: 6 points on conviction.
Ticket “set fine” (if issued as a ticket): $400 set fine (before mandatory add-ons like surcharges/costs).
Court penalty range (on conviction): $400–$2,000; the court may also impose up to 6 months in jail and a licence suspension up to 2 years.
If bodily harm or death is alleged: higher exposure, $2,000–$50,000 fine range, possible jail up to 2 years, and licence suspension up to 5 years.
How long points stay: demerit points remain on your driving record for 2 years from the offence date.
Why you should call: this charge can jeopardize your licence and driving record and often turns on evidence (disclosure, accident reconstruction, witness reliability). Getting representation early matters.
Insurance companies don’t just look at the fine—they look at patterns of behaviour. Multiple speeding tickets can result in:
Significant insurance premium increases
Reclassification as a higher-risk driver
Policy non-renewal in some cases
Speeding cases often hinge on radar/lidar accuracy, officer notes, calibration records, and disclosure. Challenging a ticket properly can make a meaningful difference to the outcome.
Before you plead guilty, get your options reviewed.
Early action gives you the best chance to protect your licence and record.

If the allegation is high enough, police may lay stunt driving / race. It’s not limited to “50 over.” In Ontario, stunt-driving speed thresholds commonly include:
50 km/h or more over where the posted limit is more than 60 km/h
40 km/h or more over where the posted limit is 60 km/h or less
150 km/h or more (regardless of the posted limit)
Stunt driving can also include other “stunt” behaviours beyond speed.
Ontario also publicizes immediate roadside consequences such as a 30-day licence suspension and 14-day vehicle impoundment (subject to the specific circumstances/authority used)
