What a conviction costs
Six Points, Up to $2,000 - and Your Insurer Rates It Major
One conviction takes you two-thirds of the way to a Ministry interview.
From a $400 minimum - victim surcharges on top.
A conviction can result in a licence suspension of up to two years.
Careless driving can lead to steep premium increases or non-renewal.
Penalty figures are general information for Ontario offences, not legal advice - every case is different.
Where this conviction puts you
Six points from a single conviction - add one minor ticket and you're at the Ministry's 9-point interview. And insurers treat the charge itself as major, whatever your total.
Careless driving is a major conviction: it can lead to substantial premium increases or non-renewal. It can also carry suspension and jail exposure. The circumstances of the driving and the available evidence should be reviewed carefully.
Questions drivers ask
Clear Answers About Your Charge
What are the penalties for a careless driving ticket in Ontario?
The potential consequences can include a fine, 6 demerit points when points are recorded, licence consequences and insurance impact. The exact charge and result matter.
Does an accident automatically mean careless driving?
No. A collision does not answer every factual question about a careless-driving allegation. The notice, available evidence and circumstances should be reviewed.
Can careless driving affect insurance?
A conviction can affect future premiums or eligibility. The effect is not fixed and depends on the insurer, record and other circumstances.
General information only, not legal advice. The facts of each matter can change the available options.

Rated 5.0 on Google by Ontario Drivers. Here's Why.
“They helped get my father's careless driving charge reduced to 'turn not in safety' and cut the fine in half. They always pick up your call, are honest, affordable and know what they are doing. I can't recommend them enough.”
“These guys legitimately helped me out of a serious jam! Never been in an accident before and they totally helped with the process. If you want someone to actually help and care instead of being a number, I suggest these guys!”
“They have a great team that completely dropped my case.”
“Keegan and the team were able to provide a result that exceeded my expectations - very happy being a first-time customer. Thanks again!”
