Automatic on conviction
A Conviction Can Trigger a Licence Suspension
Up to $1,000 in court - and up to $3,000 by a third conviction.
3 points on a first conviction; 6 on any conviction after it.
Automatic on conviction: 3 days first, 7 second, 30 third.
A conviction may affect future premiums or eligibility.
Penalty figures are general information for Ontario offences, not legal advice - every case is different.
Where this conviction puts you
Three points for a first conviction - but the automatic licence suspension and the insurance rating are the real damage. Both only land if you're convicted.
For full A to G and M licence holders, Ontario lists a $615 out-of-court fine, three demerit points and a three-day suspension for a first conviction. Different rules apply to novice drivers. Read the exact allegation before deciding how to respond.
Questions drivers ask
Clear Answers About Your Charge
What should I do after a cell-phone ticket?
Keep the ticket or summons and identify whether you hold a full or novice licence. Ontario applies different consequences by licence class and conviction history, so the exact allegation and your licence status should be reviewed before you respond.
Can I use my phone while stopped at a red light?
Ontario says distracted-driving laws apply while driving and while stopped in traffic or at a red light.
Do novice drivers face different consequences?
Yes. Ontario describes a separate escalating suspension system for novice drivers convicted of distracted driving.
Should I send in the ticket early?
Keep the ticket and respond by the stated deadline. An early review gives you time to understand the charge and available options.
General information only, not legal advice. The facts of each matter can change the available options.
