Hi, I have a quick question regarding a speeding ticket that I received last Monday on Hwy 6 in Haldimand County. I was driving my parent's car and showed the officer their insurance slip. I have my own car and own insurance, but didn't drive my own car that day. Will the 3 demerit points show up on my insurance or not? I got a speeding ticket about 5 months ago for 3 demerit points, but was driving my own car and showed my own insurance slip. The ticket was not Reduced, though it looks as though it was based on the speed. I'm probably going to go to court in Cayuga on Monday to plea guilty to a lesser charge. It has worked in the past. The points will stay on, but I hopefully won't be stuck with a $138 ticket. Thanks for your help.

The offence itself is what insurance companies are concerned about. Demerit points are an internal MTO administrative thing and the insurance companies really don't care too much about them, unless they result in a licence suspension. Any convictions (and points, for MTO) go on your driving record specifically - it doesn't matter what vehicle you're driving. Your insurance company would find out about it regardless. Pleading guilty to a lesser offence of 15 km/h over the limit would give you 0 demerit points this time. But your insurance company would very likely raise your rates, because it would be your second conviction on your driver record.

I just received a parking ticket for parking outside of the space, to me that is crazy because I was parked in the corner of the lot, was not blocking anyone or a through way, so I thought there is no harm. I've seen people park there all day and not get a ticket.

I was hoping to receive some advice on the unfortunate situation that I currently find myself in.
Last night, at 7pm, I was at an intersection waiting for the oncoming traffic to clear so that I could turn left. I thought that I was waiting at the intersection behind only one other vehicle (a van)…
So i received my first speeding ticket...officer claimed I was doing 73 km/hr in a 50 zone. He did reduce it to 63 - should fight it? The ticket did not mention a cross road. Its just states N.B on Caledonia. I don't believe d points are affected but I'm worried about insurance.
Exactly a week ago today, I was caught going 135 in an 80, on Highway 3 near Windsor, Ontario. I know this is just completely idiotic and there hasn't been a minute since I was charged that I haven't been smacking myself for this. I'm very, very remorseful and just overall torn about…
I was making a left turn, didn't have headlights on and was putting on my seatbelt at a time. Really stupid thing to do, was very stressed out and just feel dumb about it. What am I facing, and what impact will it have on my insurance? On ticket it just says Careless driving, there are no details..
Late Saturday afternoon, December 1st, I entered the Shops at Don Mills with my vehicle and drove due East as I needed to make a quick deposit in the TD Bank. I made a left hand turn onto the side street and on the right side where I parked, there is a condo under construction with all the usual…
