HTA Reg. 340/94
Novice Driver Charges charges in Caledon, Ontario.
Quick Answer — Caledon
G1 and G2 drivers in Ontario face lower demerit thresholds than fully licensed drivers — a 6-point conviction alone can trigger a 30-day suspension, and 9 or more points results in licence cancellation. Any traffic charge is more serious for a novice driver, and contesting it early is the most important step to protecting your licence.
A rural OPP stop tends to be unhurried, and on a Caledon road that means the licence class gets looked at properly — conditions checked, passengers counted, the time of night noted. A novice driver who would go unnoticed in city traffic gets the full read out here, and the charge that follows is about the conditions on the licence rather than about the driving. Point Duty Traffic Court Defence defends Caledon G1 and G2 drivers at the Old Church Road court on that basis.
Zero BAC, zero passenger, supervised-driving and seat-belt rules for G1/G2 drivers. Escalating suspensions on conviction — fast-tracked defence essential.

On a first offence the usual landing spot in Peel is a reduction to a lesser offence. Point Duty Traffic Court Defence works both openings at the Mississauga, Brampton and Caledon courts.
