FAQs for Toronto Traffic Ticket Legal Services
Do Insurance Companies Consider Demerit Points?
Insurance companies do not directly assess demerit points but categorize offences based on their severity into minor, major, and serious categories. These classifications help insurers determine your driving conduct and risk level. While demerit points remain on your record for two years from the offence date, convictions stay for three years, influencing your insurance premiums based on the offence rather than the points.
Can Pleading Guilty Save My Demerit Points?
The court cannot influence demerit points as they are determined by the Ministry of Transportation. Police officers, prosecutors, and justices cannot alter demerit points. Nonetheless, negotiating a plea to a lesser offence can help preserve your demerit points.
What Happens If the Police Officer Does Not Show Up to Court?
The absence of the police officer at your trial does not guarantee a dismissal. The prosecutor may request an adjournment, similar to any defendant needing more time for various reasons.
What Can I Do If I Disagree With the Court's Decision?
If you believe the court’s decision was incorrect, you have the option to appeal. Consulting with a qualified legal representative from OTD Legal can help you understand the grounds for an appeal and the next steps.
