Highway Traffic Act speeding-ticket basics

This page is a public educational walkthrough. It is not a retainer, a court form, or a promise about your result. For legal advice, you should contact an appropriate Lawyer or Paralegal specializing in the area of law you need assistance with.

1. The ticket lists the HTA section and the alleged speed

   That is the case. Set fines and court options are on the ticket.

2. Demerit points are a separate MTO system

   A conviction can have licence effects after the court piece. Paying the ticket is a conviction.

3. To dispute, use the response option on the ticket

   Usually Notice of Intention to Appear. Then prepare as you would for any POA trial.
