Demerit Points for Canadian Drivers Convicted of New York Traffic Tickets

by Seth Azria on 2/08/2013

New York State and Canadian Provinces Have Close Relationship

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

Under a special agreement, Ontario and Québec 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.   

The cooperation agreement includes points for New York drivers ticketed in Ontario and Québec.

Can't say enough good things about Seth Azaria and his firm. I called around to several different law offices for a consult on my ticket and Seth was the best price hands down. Not only was it a good value but the legal service was top notch. Seth was able to get my 4pt ticket down to 0 points and the fine down to 25% of what it originally was. Great communication from the office all the way through the process. Would go back to Seth 10/10 times

I was issued a speeding ticket in an area that I was unfamiliar with. We researched the law firms to help with reducing the charge of my ticket, since I had never received a speeding ticket before. The professionals at Azria and Bruffett were efficient, organized, and provided me with a comprehensive plan as to how they would handle my case. I was thrilled with the outcome - they were able to plea my case to a much more reasonable fine.

I can't thank them enough!

I am very pleased with Azria & Bruffet's services. Thanks to them I will not have to suffer from skyrocketing insurance rates due to a speeding ticket being put on my record. They kept me updated thoroughly every step of the way and made the entire process of getting my ticket reduced to a lesser charge very easy. They were also quick to respond to any questions I had throughout the process with a great deal of professionalism. I would not hesitate to deal with them in the future. Thank you Azria & Bruffet!!
