GUIDE
Potential consequences
The Consequences That Can Change Your Next Step
Start with the document
The charge, court location, response instructions and deadline are shown on the ticket or summons you received.
Points follow conviction
Demerit points are recorded after conviction for applicable offences, not merely because a ticket is issued.
The fine is not the whole picture
A conviction can involve demerit points, licence and insurance consequences in addition to a fine.
Preserve the record
Keep every page of the notice and any photographs, documents or details relevant to the incident.
Do not decide from the fine alone. A conviction can affect demerit points, your licence and insurance. Get the ticket reviewed before choosing how to respond.
Frequently asked questions
Clear Answers, Before You Decide

Can a paralegal help with an Ontario traffic ticket?
