The fine depends on how far over the limit you were. Careless driving is more serious. It carries a fine of up to $2,000, 6 demerit points, and up to 6 months in jail, though jail time is rare.<\/p>\n<p><b>Stunt driving is the most serious offence in this group, with lengthy licence suspensions handed out:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>1st offence<\/b>: 1 to 3 years.<\/li>\n<li><b>2nd offence<\/b>: 3 to 10 years.<\/li>\n<li><b>3rd offence<\/b>: Indefinite.<\/li>\n<li><b>4th offence within 10 years<\/b>: Permanent.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As of January 1, 2026, these suspensions apply automatically on conviction, along with a fine of $2,000 to $10,000. Roadside penalties apply right away, too. Before you\u2019re even convicted of anything, you\u2019ll receive a 30-day licence suspension and a 14-day vehicle impound.<\/p>\n<h3>What are the long-term consequences of a stunt driving conviction?<\/h3>\n<p>A careless or stunt-driving conviction doesn&#8217;t just result in legal penalties. It can significantly raise your insurance premiums, too. In some cases, you may struggle to get insurance at all.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-6\"><h2>How can a Strategic Criminal Defence lawyer help you?<\/h2>\n<p>Whether you receive a speeding ticket or are facing a more serious driving violation, our lawyers can often take up your case. <b><br \/><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Here are some of the things we can do to help you:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Check your ticket for mistakes.<\/li>\n<li>Talk to the prosecutors about lowering your fines or charges.<\/li>\n<li>Attend traffic court for you, usually without you having to be there.<\/li>\n<li>Ask police officers about what they saw during the hearing.<\/li>\n<li>Question the accuracy of speed detection devices.<\/li>\n<li>Argue to protect your Charter rights when they are violated.<\/li>\n<li>Get important evidence for technical defences, such as police dashcam footage or video from the scene.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Most people are not arrested or held in custody over a traffic or bylaw charge. Serious cases, like stunt driving, still start with a roadside stop.<\/p>\n<p>Our lawyers know how to navigate the complicated rules of traffic court, including the all-important deadlines. We understand from the information available whether the Crown can actually prove the charge as written. We can advise whether a reduced charge, a withdrawal, or a full defence at trial is your best option.<\/p>\n<h3>Which court will deal with your case?<\/h3>\n<p>The Ontario Court of Justice handles traffic and bylaw charges. This court has a separate provincial offences division. It sits at locations across Toronto, depending on where police laid the charge. Many cases resolve early, without ever going to trial.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-7\"><h2>What defences can challenge a traffic or bylaw charge?<\/h2>\n<p>Traffic and bylaw cases often turn on technical details. <b><br \/><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Common defences include:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Equipment and calibration issues.<\/b> Radar and laser devices must be set up correctly.

Demerit points remain on your record for 2 years from the date of the offence. Then they\u2019re removed automatically. The conviction itself stays on your driver\u2019s abstract for 3 years from the conviction date. Insurance companies usually look at that same 3-year window.
