Traffic Tickets with the associated Demerit Points have a Direct Impact on Insurance Rates.

By issuing demerit points for traffic tickets the Ontario Ministry of Transportation penalizes drivers who accumulate too many demerit points by removing their driving privileges, and right to drive.

Probationary drivers in Ontario are allowed to accumulate six demerit points, fully licenced drivers may accumulate fifteen demerit points. Upon reaching nine demerit points the Ministry of Transportation will require the driver to attend their offices for a interview to see why the licence should not be suspended.

If the driver reaches fifteen demerit points the Ministry of transportation will suspend the driver's licence for thirty days for a first violation, and up to six months for any subsequent accumulations of demerit points.

The Ministry of Transportation of Ontario can also suspend a driver's licence as a result of a demerit point interview, failing to appear for the interview, or if the driver has not shown cause at the interview why the drivers licence should not be suspended.

It is a common misconception that drivers "lose" demerit points due to convictions for traffic offences. In fact, a driver begins with zero demerit points and "accumulates demerit points".

Demerit points stay on your record for two years from the offence date. For more information about demerit points visit www.Demerit-Points.com.
