In the past I had several parking tickets received on private property (condo) of which went unpaid for well over a year and a half. I didn't however ever receive a license suspension. I did have to request extensions to pay my tickets in order to do my sticker renewl, but successfully renewed my license without issues (therefore no suspension). However, in discussion the other day, I had an argument with a friend over this topic, he seems convinced that unpaid parking tickets will cause license suspension eventually. Can anyone tell me the following; Do different municipalities handle parking ticket consequences differently, where some may not actually cause a license to be suspended? Are parking tickets on private property with a hired security company different than a parking ticket issued by a bylaw officer of the muncipality itself? If these two parking tickets are in fact 'different' from each other in some way, can someone please share what and why and how so. I managed to carry these balances on parking tickets for a long time, my municipality would not allow me to speak with the JP, only appeal in court or request extensions to pay (alot of time and paperwork to do so), and for a while I had drove with an expired sticker until the plate denial was lifted once I did get my payment extensions....I was lucky not getting a ticket for having done so, and the one time I did get pulled over the OPP officer was kind enough to understand the financial issue linked to the inability to have the new sticker and let me go completely. I know the fine is $110, but I'm still curious, had he of ticketed me, what would the other consequences have been? Demerit points? Insurance increases? Thanks in advance for the help!

In theory it could lead to a licence suspension... in a LONG, roundabout way. If you don't pay the parking tickets, as OPS Copper says, they won't renew your plates (eventually). That said, the municipalities have been rather inept at notifying MTO of unpaid tickets. If you then get caught driving with invalid plates, that could eventually lead to a suspension if you don't pay that, etc. But in and of itself, no, parking tickets won't directly cause a licence suspension. Unpaid TRAFFIC tickets (HTA offences) will.

Hi everyone. I'm asking for a friend who has a question of interpretation.
He was ticketed for using a hand-held device. He contends that he was acting within the exemption provided under Subsection 14 (1) of O. Reg. 366/09, which reads as follows (emphasis added):
Hey guys i just wanted to know what speeds you see others do on the roads on a regular basis. As we all know no body drives 100 km. It seems they only hit that speed twice once on the way up and once on the way down.
it seems the De Facto limit on the 401 is about 120-130. But lately i dont know if…
On June 10, 2017, I was pulled over by an OPP on the 403 heading WB and told I registered 136km/hr. I kept chit chat to a minimum and took my ticket and went on with my day. I later requested my disclosure and did not receive it until a week before my Oct. 27 court date, and so I had my date…
Anyone know any more information? Apparently kathleen wynne mentioned trying to introduce legislation after more than 20 years of no speed cameras. My guess is that it wont happen, since they've tried before many times to bring it back after it was abolished.
The other day I was given a ticket for speeding 119 in a 90, on highway 17 near Marathon, ON (Speeding ticket capital of the universe, BTW). The officer claims to have "clocked" me using the vehicle mounted radar at 121 KMH and dropped it (presumably to lower fine and demerits).
I posted this in the 3 Demerit Section and haven't received any
responses.
I received a failure to stop at an amber light ticket on April 17, 2009. At my First Attendance Meeting I asked to read the police officer's notes and remember thinking how ridiculous they were and the difficulty…
I was on the right side of the road going straight when a pedestrian waved down the taxi driver in the lane next to me. He pulled over to the right without any notice or signalling and hit me with the side of his car.
There were many witnesses but I immediately had a concussion and did not think of…
My mother was driving EB on a 4 lane street (2 lanes EB, 2 lanes WB).
She was in the left hand lane and started a left hand turn so as to enter a side street, crossing WB traffic. There was NO intersection. She hit a cyclist who was heading WB. Police where called but none showed up. My…
If the speed limit is 50, and you do 100+, not only do you get 6 points. Your car gets impounded for a week, and your license suspended for 7 days, along with a hefty fine of at least $2000. The penalty is actually the same as for racing. The law came in effect on October 1, 2007. Remember -…
I was driving westbound on Hwy. 8 earlier this month in North Dumfries Township, approaching the Cambridge city limits. The weather was clear and the roads were dry. I noticed a vehicle on the shoulder on my side of the road, pointing towards me. This didn't concern me right away, as it is a rural…
