Driving While Suspended Ontario FAQ | ParaCan Legal Services

General information about Ontario driving-while-suspended charges, licence status and practical next steps.

Questions drivers ask

Can I drive because I need to work?

Do not assume that work, family or other practical needs lift a suspension. Follow the notice and confirm the licence status before driving.

Can I fix this by paying a fee?

Do not assume a payment alone resolves a suspension. Confirm the status and requirements that apply to your own licence before driving.

What documents should I keep?

Keep every page you received, including the ticket or summons, suspension notice and any Ministry correspondence.

What is the first practical step?

Record any response date, preserve the documents and have the charge and licence status reviewed before deciding what to do next.
