Speeding tickets are one of the most common charges drivers face in Ontario. At first glance, they may seem like a minor inconvenience—just pay the fine and move on. But the reality is that a speeding conviction can follow you for years, costing you far more than the number printed on the ticket. From demerit points to skyrocketing insurance premiums, the hidden consequences of a speeding ticket make it worth fighting back. That’s where XPolice comes in.
The True Cost of a Speeding Ticket
When you’re pulled over for speeding, the fine listed is only the beginning. Here’s what you’re really facing:
- Fines: Ontario fines range from $2.50 to $9.75 per km/h over the posted speed limit. That adds up quickly.
- Demerit Points: Go 16–29 km/h over and you’ll face 3 points. Go 30–49 km/h over and it’s 4 points. Anything 50+ km/h over brings 6 points and the possibility of a stunt driving charge.
- Insurance Increases: Insurance companies view speeding as risky driving behaviour. Even one conviction can raise your premiums for years, sometimes adding thousands of dollars to your total costs.
- License Suspensions: If you’re caught excessively speeding or if you’re a G1/G2 driver, a single ticket could mean an automatic suspension.
Clearly, a speeding ticket isn’t “just a fine.” It’s a long-term financial burden that can affect your freedom to drive.

A Real-World Example
A client recently came to us after being charged with driving 32 km/h over the limit—an offence carrying 4 demerit points and a hefty fine. After reviewing the case, our team negotiated the charge down to a minor speeding offence with no points attached. The result? The client avoided years of inflated insurance premiums and walked away with their record intact.
