15 days, counted from the date of the offence
Not from the day you get around to it. Let that window close and you can be convicted without a trial — no hearing, no evidence to review, nothing left to argue. Your options are printed on the notice.
Already past it, or holding a summons rather than a ticket? A summons runs on a fixed court date instead. Either way there may still be options, so call rather than waiting on a form reply.

The real cost of a conviction
Many Ontario traffic offences and penalties are governed by the Highway Traffic Act and can result in fines, demerit points, licence suspensions or jail time.
For help with the points and penalties for your charge, call 1-888-787-0260 or send a photo of your ticket.
Choose a charge to see the demerit points it carries and where a conviction would leave you.
General information, not legal advice or a prediction of your outcome. Demerit points stay for two years from the offence date; convictions appear on the standard three-year driver record.
What this guide assumes
It illustrates one driver conviction on a valid Ontario G or M licence (including novice classes), assuming your existing points remain active and you have no prior demerit suspension. Repeated demerit suspensions can last six months. Owner or camera tickets can have different consequences. Other suspensions and repeat-offence penalties may apply. See Ontario’s demerit point guide, distracted driving penalties and driver record information.

Common questions
Do I have to go to court?
In most cases we can appear for you in provincial offences court. You may need to attend if your evidence is required or the court directs you to appear. We confirm the requirements for your matter before the date.
What does it cost?
Fees are published on the pricing page, and we confirm the figure for your charge once we have seen the ticket. The review that produces it is free and carries no obligation.
What if I already missed my date?
Not necessarily the end of it. Depending on where the matter stands there may still be options, and this is time-sensitive — call rather than waiting on a reply to the form.
What happens if I just pay it?
Paying normally results in a guilty plea and conviction, and demerit points are added if the offence carries them. Options after conviction are limited and time-sensitive; contact us promptly if you have already paid.
How many demerit points before my licence is suspended?
Fifteen for a fully licensed driver, which brings a 30-day suspension. Nine for a novice driver, which brings 60 days. Before that, a warning letter arrives at six points on a full licence or two on a novice one, and a second warning letter arrives at nine to fourteen on a full licence or six to eight on a novice one. Other suspensions can apply independently of your point total.
How long do points and convictions stay on my record?
Demerit points stay on your record for two years from the offence date. Convictions appear on the standard three-year driver record and can remain visible after the points have expired. Longer-term driver records also exist.
Are the rules different for G1 and G2 drivers?
Yes, and more strictly. Novice drivers are suspended at nine points rather than fifteen, and a separate set of penalties applies that gets harsher each time, regardless of the point total: a conviction carrying four or more points brings a 30-day suspension for a first offence, 90 days for a second, and cancellation of the licence for a third. Distracted driving works differently again, carrying no demerit points for a novice driver but a 30-day suspension on a first conviction.
Do demerit points affect my insurance?
Insurers assess convictions and driving history; a zero-point offence can still matter. The standard Ontario driver record includes your demerit point total as well as convictions. How an insurer sets its rates depends on its own rules and your circumstances.
