Hi there, I received a speeding ticket in New York state on I-90 for 5 miles over speeding ticket. This for doing 70 miles in 65 miles zone. I am an Ontario resident. I looked at the demerit point system and don't see any demerit point for 5 miles over(i.e 8 km over). The demerit points start from 16 km over. So does this mean that if this NY ticket shows up on my records in Ontario, I will get no demerit points ? If I will, how many ? Will this affect my insurance rates ? Thanks

Ontario and New York have full reciprocity (supposedly) so any ticket from New York is supposed to show up on your Ontario driving record. There is some inconsistency in reporting, though. If it is done properly, it should show up as 0 demerit points. Whether or not it affects your insurance will depend on your insurance provider. Most companies will raise your rates slightly, however, some will forgive one or two tickets for 1-15 km/h over the limit.

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…
Hi, I just received a notice in the mail with pictures of my car going through a red light. Ticket is in my husband's name, as he is the car owner, but I drive this car. I'm guilty as can be... can't remember doing it, but apparently went right through intersection after light turned red. I…
