Section 10A
An amendment to Section 10, providing an option for courts to dismiss charges and place an offender on a bond without recording a conviction, subject to compliance with specified conditions.
Fines
Monetary penalties imposed by the court as a consequence for an offence, varying in amount based on the severity of the violation.
Imprisonment
The judicially ordered confinement of an individual in a correctional facility for a specified duration as a consequence for committing a serious offence.
Community Corrections Order
A court-ordered sentence that allows an offender to serve their term within the community, with specific conditions such as community service, supervision, or rehabilitation programs.
Deferral of Sentence
A postponement of the pronouncement of a sentence to a later date, often to allow the accused to demonstrate good behaviour or fulfil certain conditions before sentencing.

It’s crucial to carefully review the ticket and understand the violation. You may choose to pay the fine, but you also have the right to contest the ticket in court. Consulting with one of our lawyers can help you explore your options and determine the best course of action.
To contest a speeding ticket, you can gather evidence such as traffic conditions, witness statements, or any equipment calibration records. Our legal team can assess the strength of your case and explore potential defences, like challenging the accuracy of speed measurement devices.
Convictions may result in penalties such as licence suspension, fines, mandatory alcohol education programs, and, in some cases, imprisonment. The severity of consequences varies based on factors like prior offences and blood alcohol content. Seeking legal representation is crucial to navigate these charges effectively.
Traffic offences are typically non-criminal offences, resulting in fines or points on your driving record. Criminal traffic offences, on the other hand, involve more serious charges such as reckless driving or drink and drug driving offences, potentially leading to criminal convictions with more severe consequences. It’s essential to understand the nature of the charge and seek legal advice accordingly.
