Speeding Tickets (HTA: 128)

Understanding Speeding Tickets

Definitions for Speeding

Speeding is when a driver is driving at a speed that is greater than the posted speed limit. This offence, and the associated penalties, can be found under section 128 of the Highway Traffic Act.

Penalties for Speeding

List of penalties

Penalties include fines, demerit points, and possible licenses suspensions. The listed penalties may be doubled if in a construction zone:

  • 1-19 km/h over the posted limit = fine of $3 per km/h over the limit, and 0-3 demerit points
  • 20-29 km/h over the posted limit = fine of $4.50 per km/h over the limit, and 3 demerit points
  • 30-49 km/h over the posted limit = fine of $7 per km/h over the posted limit, and 4 demerit points
  • 50 km/h or more over the posted limit = $9.75 per km/h over the posted limit, 6 demerit points, and a possible license suspension.

Why Fight a Speeding Ticket?

1. Protect Your Driving Record

Traffic violations, including the associated number of demerit points, are recorded on your driver’s abstract. Accumulating demerit points may result in your license being suspended, or even revoked.

2. Avoid possible license suspension

Speeding at 50 km or more over the posted limit may result in a suspension of your driver’s licence.

3. Avoid higher insurance premiums

Your driver’s abstract is monitored by the Government of Ontario and is used by insurance companies to determine your insurance premiums. Traffic violations and the associated number of demerit points are recorded on your driver’s abstract, which may result in increased insurance costs.

Steps to Take When You Receive a Violation

1. Accept the Ticket Politely

Arguing with the officer at the scene is unlikely to help. Accept the ticket calmly and prepare to take further action.

2. Review Your Options

If you received a traffic ticket, you typically have three options:

  1. Plead guilty and pay the fine,
  2. Seek early resolution to potentially reduce the penalty,
  3. Or choose to go to trial.

If you received a summons, you must appear at the scheduled date, time, and location indicated on your summons. At Patel Law PC, we would appear on this date for you, and take carriage of your matter.

3. Seek Legal Assistance

Consulting with a Lawyer or Paralegal on your traffic matter can help to resolve your matter. Our team at Patel Law is here to guide you through the process and provide diligent representation.
