Fines Going Up???

Unread post by cruzmisl »

Hi,

I thought I read somewhere the fines for Provincial offences were going up. Any info on this or is it just a rumor?

Thanks!

Cruz.

Set fines are not changing. However, maximum penalties are changing.


- Careless Driving will be max $2000 fine, up from $1000

- Failure to remain at scene will be max $2000 fine, up from $1000

- Red light - fail to stop will be max $1000 fine, up from $500

- Fail to give way to an emergency vehicle will go to a max penalty of $2000 and 2 year licence suspension (FINALLY), up from current max penalty of $500

- Driver fail to wear seatbelt assembly or fail to ensure passenger under 16 is wearing a seat belt will go to a max fine of $1000, up from $500


Also: Subsequent offences for failure to stop/give way to an emergency vehicle results in a maximum fine of $4000, two-year licence suspension, and the possibility of up to 6 months in jail.

So unless someone receives a summons where the JP sets the fine, it will remain the same.

Effective Jan. 1, various fines will be doubling, tripling or even quadrupling, the OPP says.


The fine for driving without a seatbelt and child seat violations will now cost $240 instead of $110.


Red light violations will now set a driver back $325 instead of $110, or $490 instead of $110 in a Community Safety Zone.


Tickets for failing to stop for an emergency vehicle are increasing the most – from $110 to $490.
