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 got a careless driving ticket and I was involved in quite a serious accident. I was driving at about 60 km/h arriving towards a stop sign. Unfortunately when I tried to stop, my shoes were sliding off from my foot as they did not have any strap and were perhaps oversized and slippery. I could…
I received a speeding ticket yesterday, and was hoping to get some insight as to how to deal with it here.
I was driving, and I seen an officer driving behind a couple of oncoming cars. I looked down at my speed, and seen that I was doing slightly over 100 (ie 102/103), so I put on the…

Hello, I am sure people are getting tired of asking about this hand held electronic device section, but I would like to know if a piece of paper is included in this description? I was ticketed just a few days ago for holding a gas station receipt in my hand to stop it from flapping in the breeze…

I was driving with a passenger in my Cab, when I was pulled over. When the Officer approached the Cab, he asked if I had a good reason for not wearing my seat-belt. I stated to him, because I have a passenger, to which he responded with "Their is a National Seat Belt Campaign" on and with zero…
I was pulled over a couple days ago going down a steep incline on my way to Cobourg. In order to get up a hill in my vehicle, I have to go at least 90 or it gets stuck between gears and then when I was going down the hill I wasn't riding my brake or touching the gas, it just gained speed. When I…
