Re: expired license and incoming demerit points

Your license number doesn't vanish into thin air. It'll exist whether or not you choose to renew your license or not.

Even if you don't have a license, they will generate a license number for you and it'll be waiting for you if you ever decide to apply.

interesting.

does the same apply if a minor (obviously without a driver's license) commits ...

expired license and incoming demerit points

hello,


here's an hypothetical scenario:


Can the conviction of an HTA offense (ticket) affect a driver's license that was not renewed and is expired?

The expiry date of the license, which the driver chose not to renew, preceded the conviction date on court.

Will the expired license receive the demerit points?


thank you.

Re: Red light camera ticket. Moving for emergency vehicle

If OP decides to fight the ticket, can the conviction go to the MTO records?

Considering this is red light camera ticket that was sent to owner of vehicle with no insurance implications.

Re: toronto by-law 132/93 section 3(a) and insurance

by-law tickets don't appear on your driving record and won't affect your insurance premiums

there are some by-law tickets associated with prohibited turns that involve 2 demerit points, but those won't affect your insurance unless you've collected enough points to get your license suspended

How would they have evidence that it is you driving? anyone could be driving the car, same goes for parking tickets, it just gets sent(or billed) to the owner. If they have no reasonable evidence (ie. photos) I'd say anyone could have a good defence.
