Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How many demerit points before I lose my licence in Ontario?
For a full G licence, reaching 9 points triggers a review that can lead to a suspension interview or automatic suspension. For G1 and G2 novice drivers, the threshold is much lower — just 6 points.
How long do demerit points stay on my record?
Demerit points remain on your driving record for 2 years from the date of the offence, though they can affect insurance rates for longer depending on the insurer.
Does this wizard tell me exactly how many points I have?
No. This tool gives you an estimate based on your answers — for your exact, official point total, you should order your driving record (abstract) from ServiceOntario, since self-reported estimates can be inaccurate.
Is a licence suspension automatic once I hit the threshold?
Not always immediately automatic — for full G licence holders, reaching 9 points typically triggers a warning letter and interview process first, while reaching 15 points results in an automatic suspension. Novice drivers face suspension more directly at their lower thresholds.
Can fighting a ticket reduce the demerit points I receive?
Yes, in some cases a ticket can be resolved with a reduced charge that carries fewer or no demerit points, even without a full trial — this is one of the key reasons to evaluate your options before simply paying.
