Traffic laws in Ontario are designed not only to keep roads safe but also to discourage drivers from repeating the same mistakes. While a first offence may result in fines, demerit points, or a short suspension, repeat violations carry much harsher penalties. That’s why it’s critical to understand your options — and why protecting your driving record matters more than ever.
Escalating Consequences
Each additional offence signals to the system that the original penalty didn’t change your behaviour. That’s why repeat charges usually result in:
- Higher fines – Each conviction costs significantly more.
- More demerit points – Which can quickly lead to licence suspension.
- Longer suspensions – Multiple offences extend the time you’re off the road.
- Increased insurance premiums – Insurers treat repeat offenders as high risk.
- Possible jail time – For serious repeat offences such as impaired driving or driving under suspension.
Common Offences Where Penalties Escalate
Repeat charges in Ontario can be especially costly when it comes to:
- Distracted driving – Steeper fines, more points, and suspensions.
- Impaired driving – Lengthy suspensions, mandatory programs, and jail.
- Driving under suspension – Fines and bans get longer with each conviction.
- Stunt driving and speeding – Repeat offences can lead to vehicle impoundment and tougher penalties.
Why Protecting Your Record Matters
With insurance premiums already high, even one additional conviction can cause costs to skyrocket. Demerit points and suspensions not only affect your ability to drive but also create long-term financial strain. Fighting a repeat offence isn’t just about avoiding a fine — it’s about safeguarding your future.
