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.

Mr. Habib and his staff helped me handle a speeding ticket. I don't live in the area, but I didn't even have to come back to take care of things, Mr. Habib took care of it for me, at a fair cost. I am thrilled with the outcome, and I recommend highly Mr. Habib and his firm for any traffic tickets/other matters in NY. Thanks so much!

Great experience, very efficient and timely. Got reduced to 0 points - they handled the entire process once receiving my documents. Highly recommend, especially if you live out of state.

Worth Hiring

I called Seth Azria when I needed help with several tickets. He was very helpful, knowledgeable, and was able to help me out significantly in getting several charges reduced and cancelled. I would most definitely recommend his services to anybody in need of assistance. His services are very reasonably priced as well.

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value

Excellent working with Seth...Seth assisted us with navigating the court system in NY state. The speeding ticket had no information and the city's documentation was too complicated and obscure for us to comprehend. Our case was concluded very much to our satisfaction. I highly recommend Seth to anyone who receives a speeding ticket in NY.
