Ontario Demerit Points — Clear Guidance & Defence
Ontario's demerit points track driving convictions. Too many points can trigger warnings, interviews, higher insurance, and even licence suspension. We explain your options, challenge improper convictions, and help you minimize impact.
Points are added on conviction (not charge) and most are removed 2 years from the offence date. Novice drivers face lower thresholds. We help you plan a path to protect your record and ability to drive.
