Demerit Points for Speeding Tickets
Every speeding ticket has a fine attached to it that is usually written at the bottom of the ticket and most speeding tickets have demerit points attached to them.
The Ministry of Transportation allows you to accumulate demerit points from speeding tickets, but upon reaching six, nine or fifteen demerit points, the Ministry can call you in for an interview, or immediately suspend your licence for thirty days to six months.
G1 and G2 licence holders upon reaching six demerit points will be immediately liable to a 30 day licence suspension from the Ministry of Transportation.
A speeding ticket for speeding more than 50km/h has six demerit points, and the prosecutor can ask for a thirty day licence suspension.
For speeding more than 50km/h the officer may charge the driver with Stunt Driving / Racing. Stunt Driving and Racing are an included offence of speeding more than 50km/h. The penalty is a one year licence suspension, and a minimum fine of two thousand dollar, and six demerit points.
Your insurance company assesses your insurance rates depending on what they perceive as their risk of having to pay a claim. If you have speeding tickets on your driving record, your insurance company can judge you accordingly, and increase your rates. (see more below)
A speeding ticket for speeding more than 50km/h, racing or stunt driving will dramatically affect your insurance rates by thousands of dollars per year, and is considered a major insurance conviction.
