Fight a SPEEDING TICKET in Niagara Region
Speeding tickets can affect your insurance premium, but only once you’re convicted, you’re only convicted once you pay the ticket. There are three different kinds of tickets. You can receive minor, major, and criminal or serious, and depending on the severity, they will have different effects on your Insurance Premium. As per the Ontario Courts, the following fines are issued for speeding: 1-19km/h over the speed limit is a $2.50/km speeding fine. 20-29km/h over the speed limit is a $3.75/km speeding fine. 30-49km/h over the speed limit is a $6.00/km speeding fine.
Points will have no effect on your insurance premium. However, if you have points, it tells me that you have tickets. the points will only come into play if you ever receive a suspension, and if you get a suspension for demerit point accumulation, it will have an effect on your record as it is a rate-able lapse in your license will then cause a lapse in your insurance, which is never good to have in, whether it’s in your insurance history or your licensing history. You never want to have a lapse. Continuous insurance and licensing history is what insurance companies are looking for. It shows that you are a consistent driver and that you’re reliable for the most part.
minor conviction protection is an endorsement that some companies offer it in. Basically acts like your accident forgiveness, but for minor tickets. So this will not come into play if it’s a criminal or major conviction. anything minor like failure to stop or you know, 25 over the speeding limit, things like that will be forgiven upon renewal.
If you have this endorsement on your policy, this endorsement will be null and void. If you are committing a crime outside of the highway traffic act, like robbing bank things like that. this minor conviction would become null and void on your policy, similar to your accident forgiveness.
if you get into an accident fleeing the scene of a crime, that accident will not be forgiven upon renewal.
