Demerit points are typically assigned to drivers for traffic offenses or violations, and these points can have implications on your drivers licence. This charges are considered absolute liability offences. Any conviction can affect your car insurance rates.
Having multiple demerit points as a full G driver can lead to the suspension of your license, especially if you are still considered a novice driver. Novice drivers typically have fewer points allowed before facing license suspension compared to experienced drivers. It is important for all drivers to be aware of the demerit point system and the potential consequences, including the suspension of your driver’s licence. To see the full list of charges and their associated demerit points please go here: Demerit point table. A conviction to disobey stop sign charge will result in three (3) demerit points being applied to your Ontario driver’s licence from the offence date. If you have been charged and have accumulated too many demerit points, it is important to seek legal advice and understand the potential consequences for your driver’s licence, including the possibility of having your driver’s licence suspended.
Some insurance companies may have specific policies regarding how they handle drivers with demerit points. They may offer programs or incentives for drivers to improve their driving record and reduce their demerit points, which can ultimately lead to lower insurance premiums.
It is essential for drivers to be aware of how demerit points can impact their insurance rates and take necessary steps to maintain a clean driving record. By understanding the relationship between demerit points and insurance premiums, drivers can make informed decisions to potentially lower their insurance costs and secure the best possible resolution.
