Fight Driving Tickets and Criminal Charges

Driving Tips
jason-baxtorJason Baxter

Should you fight driving tickets and criminal charges?

So, you’ve just been given a driving ticket and are wondering what to do. Perhaps you know you did wrong and think you should just pay the penalty, like any good citizen.

Or perhaps that light wasn’t actually red when you drove through it, or maybe you’re fairly sure that you were driving well within the 30kph speed limit. But it’s your word against the cops, and why should they believe you?

Or perhaps you are an Ontario resident driving in New York (or a New Yorker driving in Ontario) and didn’t realize that there is a reciprocal agreement between the province of Ontario and the state of New York; so drivers convicted of a traffic ticket in the state of New York will have home jurisdiction penalties such as demerit points and /or suspensions applied to their Ontario driver record as if the offence occurred in Ontario.

One thing is for sure – you realize that this driving ticket could taint your otherwise spotless driving record and haunt you financially for years to come.

And regardless of the rights or wrongs of your case, getting pulled over and given a driving ticket can be an extremely stressful time. You should be aware of the implications of being convicted of even a minor driving offence. A conviction could lead to fines or demerit points on your license. A guilty verdict for major traffic or criminal offences can include harsher punishments such as driver license suspension or worse, jail time. These charges can also affect your insurance premiums.

So what should you do?

First, you have to weigh your options. Fair or unfair, when you get a ticket there is a window of opportunity to fight it or plead your case. You can decide to take your chances in court alone or choose to enlist the help of legal experts to help you fight the charge.
