From speeding tickets and careless driving to stunt driving and criminal charges -understanding your offence is the first step to protecting your record.

Stunt driving charges in Ontario can lead to immediate licence suspension, vehicle impoundment, and serious fines.

Speeding excessively or aggressive driving can cost more than you think.

Driver’s license suspension in New Jersey can happen for more reasons than most people think.

It is not just DUI or major violations. Things like unpaid tickets, missed court dates, or too many points can all lead to losing your license.

Stunt driving and street racing are serious offences under Section 172(1) of the Highway Traffic Act and come with severe consequences, including heavy fines, licence suspension, and vehicle impoundment. Stunt driving can include excessive speeding (40 km/h or more over the limit in areas under 80 km/h, or 50 km/h or more elsewhere), driving 150 km/h or above regardless of the posted limit, blocking other vehicles, cutting off drivers, aggressive tailgating, tire burnouts, or lifting a motorcycle’s front wheel. Street racing involves two or more vehicles driving competitively, chasing another driver, or engaging in high-speed, aggressive lane changes.

If you’re charged with stunt driving or street racing, it’s important to seek legal guidance right away to protect your licence and driving record. https://streetjustice.ca/.../stunt-driving-and-street.../?

Unlike standard "following too closely" charges, commercial motor vehicle drivers face stricter regulations under the Highway Traffic Act.

📌 If a commercial driver is traveling 60 km/h or more, they must maintain a 60-meter gap from the vehicle ahead.

This rule applies even in stop-and-go traffic or when the lead vehicle’s speed fluctuates—making compliance challenging. Still, charges can be laid in these situations, and this offence carries 5 CVOR points, impacting a driver's record and insurance. https://streetjustice.ca/2022/03/30/following-too-closely/

Lately, we’ve seen Section 182(2) of the Highway Traffic Act being used more frequently in traffic-related charges. This section gives provincial and municipal governments the authority to place official road signs and markings to regulate traffic and ensure safety.

Under this law, all drivers, cyclists, and streetcar operators must obey legally placed road signs. Even if the specific sign isn’t listed on your ticket, the officer’s evidence in court will likely reference it.

Thinking about paying that speeding ticket? Think again!

By paying, you're admitting guilt, and you could face skyrocketing insurance rates for the next 3 to 5 years. Traffic tickets stay on your record for at least 3 years, which could jeopardize your driving career.

🛑 Before making any decisions, speak with your insurance broker about how a conviction could impact your rates long-term.
