Section 47 of the HTA says your licence will be suspended for non-payment of fines. If you have a drivers licence, will your licence be suspended for fines received riding a bicycle and not paid?. Does this include all fines, including municipal bylaw fines and HTA fines. One woman told me her young son got a ticket for a bicycle offence, did not tell her and did not pay the fine. She was told they issued a temporary licence to her son, then suspended it. Will this suspended licence now hang around until the son goes to get a real drivers licence, and have to get the temporary licence un-suspended with the $145 payment (as well as the fine). Is there any consequence for not paying bicycle fines if one does not need or intends to get a drivers licence, surely there must be additional measure to collect the bicycle infraction fines other that suspending a drivers licence.

Section 46 is actually the section you should be looking at for suspension of a drivers licence for non-payment of a fine. And yes. It does apply to fines received while driving a bicycle. This includes convictions under the HTA and any act listed in the schedule to this section. If convicted of an HTA offence and the person does not hold a licence, the MTO will create a drivers licence number for that person and then suspend it until the fine and reinstatement fee is paid. Unpaid parking tickets issued under a by-law must be paid before a licence plate is renewed. I believe that other unpaid fines that don't result in a suspension may be forwarded to a collection agency at some point and may affect a persons credit rating.

Thankyou. Just to clarify is the licence suspension also for unpaid municipal bylaw fines, for example riding your bicycle on the sidewalk which is a municipal bylaw offence; or is licence suspension only for HTA offences while on a bicycle, for example disobeying a stop sign, which is an HTA offence?
Thankyou.

I was driving north on Bathurst and turned left onto a side street into a residential area before hitting the lights at Eglinton and Bathurst. I normally do this to avoid the big line up to turn left onto Eglinton.

I was (recently) involved in a traffic accident where, due to icy road conditions, I slid into oncoming traffic while making a right turn, while they were coming towards me and stopping at a stop sign. This was a residential area and there's no way I was exceeding anything over 20KM/h on…
