Question: What should I do if I’m facing a minor driving charge in Ontario and I want to defend it to avoid demerit points, higher insurance, or a possible licence suspension?
Answer: Kush Law can help Ontario drivers defend minor driving offences with practical, strategic advocacy focused on reducing harm from demerit points and avoiding knock-on consequences like insurance surcharges or licence suspension where applicable. If you’ve had recent convictions, if your current charge risks pushing you toward a licence suspension due to demerit accumulation, or if you need a fully clear record for work, a traffic ticket lawyer from Kush Law can review the officer’s evidence, assess procedural and factual weaknesses, and help you choose the strongest next steps for your situation. To discuss your ticket and your defence options in Brampton, Mississauga, North York, Oakville, and Etobicoke, call (905) 460-5073 today.
Defending Minor Driving Offences
Minor charges, individually, appear merely as a relatively minor fine and pose little risk to the potential for significantly increased insurance rates or possible licence suspension for accumulation of too many demerit points. In many circumstances, going to the trouble and effort to fight a minor charge appears as an unworthy endeavour; however, there are circumstances where an aggressive stance to a minor charge is prudent and warranted.
Providing Strategic Advocacy
The circumstances, among others, that may warrant aggressively defending minor charges include:
- When a driver was convicted within the past three years for other minor, major, or serious, charges and where another conviction, even for just a minor infraction, will result in significantly adverse affects;
- When a driver was charged within the past two years for other charges and the accumulation of demerit points now puts the driver at risk of a licence suspension, among other significant penalties; and
- When a driver is required to maintain a fully clear record as a condition of employment.
Although relatively minimal affects, generally, result upon conviction for a minor traffic ticket charge, a multitude of minor charges, or a single minor charge that will be combined with prior convictions, may result in significant adversity making a strongly mounted defence worthy in the effort to fight a minor charge.

Conclusion
Traffic tickets of the minor charges type may still pose significant risk to a driver with potentially serious consequences whereas a minor charge in combination with prior convictions becomes 'the straw that breaks the camels back' resulting in substantially increased insurance rates including possible loss of standard insurance market and placement into the 'Facility Association', potential license suspension for accumulating too many demerit points, among other things. Accordingly, even for a minor charge, hiring a professional who knows how to question witnesses, including which questions to ask and which questions to avoid, and who knows the law and is ready to make persuasive arguments on the applicable legal principles, is highly important.
