Ontario Following Too Closely Ticket FAQ | ParaCan Legal Services

Answers to common Ontario following-too-closely-ticket questions, including collision allegations and demerit points.

Questions drivers ask

Does a rear-end collision automatically decide the ticket?

No. A collision does not answer every factual question about a charge. The allegation and available information should be reviewed.

When do demerit points apply?

Demerit points are recorded after conviction for an applicable offence, not simply because a ticket was issued.

What should I keep?

Keep the ticket, collision documents, photographs and a written record of what you remember.

What should I do first?

Follow the response deadline and have the notice and circumstances reviewed before deciding how to respond.
