HTA Reg. 340/94
Novice Driver Charges charges in Mississauga, Ontario.
Quick Answer — Mississauga
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.
For a novice driver the penalty does not run through demerit points, it runs through the graduated licensing scheme — suspensions and escalating consequences attached to the licence itself. So a Mississauga G1 or G2 driver who takes a quick plea to make a charge go away can lose the licence they were still working toward. Point Duty Traffic Court Defence defends novice driver charges at the Burnhamthorpe Road court with the licence, not the fine, as the thing being protected.
Zero BAC, zero passenger, supervised-driving and seat-belt rules for G1/G2 drivers. Escalating suspensions on conviction — fast-tracked defence essential.
