Ontario Speeding Ticket Calculator
Disclaimer
This calculator provides estimates based on general information. Actual fines, demerit points, and insurance premium increases may vary depending on specific circumstances, including but not limited to the location of the offence, individual driving history, and insurance company policies. Always consult with legal and insurance professionals for accurate information relevant to your situation.
How the Ontario Speeding Ticket Calculator Works
Fine Amount:
- Less than 20 km/h over: $3 per km/h
- 20 to 29 km/h over: $4.50 per km/h
- 30 to 49 km/h over: $7 per km/h
- 50 km/h or more over: $9.75 per km/h (with potential for license suspension)
Example: If caught speeding 30 km/h over the limit in a 100 km/h zone, the fine would be $210.00.
Demerit Points:
- Up to 15 km/h over the limit: 0 points
- 16 to 29 km/h over: 3 points
- 30 to 49 km/h over: 4 points
- 50 km/h or more over: 6 points
Example: Speeding 30 km/h over the limit would result in 4 demerit points.
Insurance Premium Increase:
If you are wondering "Will My Insurance Go Up After One Speeding Ticket?", this is the shorthand answer to this question:
- First infraction: Approximately 5-10% increase in rates.
- Additional infractions: Rates may increase by 15-25% for each subsequent offense.
Example: A first offence might result in a 7% increase, while a second offence might lead to a 20% increase in premiums.
Your Options
Upon receiving a speeding ticket, you have several options:
- Paying the fine (which admits guilt),
- Pleading guilty with an explanation in hopes of reducing the fine or receiving more time to pay, or
- Contesting the ticket in court to potentially have the charge and/or demerit points dismissed or reduced.
You have 15 days from the offence date to decide your course of action.
