so will lead to a traffic ticket, increase in insurance premiums and a fine.

Disobey Stop Sign Penalty

The fine attached to a stop sign ticket is not the only penalty. A stop sign ticket has four different penalties:

  • Three demerit points;
  • Fine of one hundred and ten dollars ($110.00);
  • Conviction registered on your driving record for three years;
  • Insurance increases and determination of fault in accident cases with civil liability.

Where the driver is convicted of disobey stop sign, the traffic ticket will go on the driving record for three years including demerit points. Any moving violation on a driver’s abstract can affect your insurance rates.

Fighting Stop Sign Tickets

The prosecution may offer you a plea at the outset. If this is going to adversely affect your insurance and demerits you should fight the ticket.  We review and analyze thoroughly where the alleged traffic offence occurred, the weather conditions on that day, the traffic density, any available pictures and videos of that area.  You should never plead guilty without consulting an experienced lawyer first. Pleading not guilty and fighting your ticket is merely exercising your constitutional rights to question the prosecution’s evidence.

In order to avoid high insurance premiums, it is advisable to take your traffic ticket to trial and fight it. We aim to bring out contradictions in the police officers evidence at trial. If there are inconsistencies in the evidence against you, your ticket may be dropped.

There may be several instances where your constitutional rights under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms may have been infringed. We analyze all the details in your case and assess any infringement of these rights.  If there has been an unreasonable delay in your case, we bring an application to have it dismissed outright. If you have been convicted of a Highway Traffic Act offence, you have 15 days to appeal the conviction. You should consider appealing against a conviction if you were treated unfairly, there was a violation of your Charter rights, you were denied to cross examine the Crown’s witness or if there was an error committed by the Judge. Consult an experienced traffic ticket lawyer to consider your chances on appeal
