Demerit Points for Canadian Drivers Convicted of New York Traffic Tickets

posted by Seth on July 26, 2011 15:07

Demerit Points for Canadian Drivers Convicted of New York Traffic Tickets

Ontario and Quebéc keep track of Canadian driving violations with a demerit system similar to New York State's point system.

Under a special agreement, Ontario and Quebéc share information with New York State about traffic violations and transfer points and demerits between countries.

For example, an Ontario driver convicted of a speeding ticket in New York State will be assessed demerit points as if the conviction had occurred in Ontario.

Ontario demerits for speeding violations:

6 demerits for exceeding the speed limit 50 Km/h (roughly 31 MPH)
4 demerits for exceeding the speed limit 30-49 Km/h (roughly 19-31 MPH)
3 demerits for exceeding the speed limit 16-29 Km/h (roughly 10-19 MPH)

Other violations may include failure to obey a stop sign, failure to obey a traffic light, failure to stop for a school bus, failure to remain or return to the scene of a collision.

Rather than plead guilty to your New York State state ticket, contact us to defend you and protect your Canadian license from demerits.

For more information on Canadian demerits see:

The cooperation agreement includes points for New York drivers ticketed in Ontario and Quebéc. For New York Drivers ticketed out-of-state and in Canada:
