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.

Seth and his team have always been my go to. Between his professional and prompt attitude and his ability to handle most cases via email or remotely without my presence. I couldn’t recommend anything better in terms of legal service.

Mr. Azria is a thorough professional that explained me the complete process up to the dismissal of my case. Shannon in the office is a true gem. The entire process was handled with complete and clear explanation in each email. Highly recommend them for your traffic issues.

What A Find!

I received a four point ticket and googled attorney's to choose who could handle my case, being that I was not local to the county in which I received the Summons. I found Seth Azria's Law firm and read the testimonials. I liked what I read and reached out to him. After retaining his services, I found the testimonials to be spot on. My ticket was reduced to a non point, non moving violation. Later on my son received the same type ticket with the same outcome. Very pleased with the services that he provided.
