Provincial Offences 

What is the Provincial Offences Act (POA)?

 

 

If you’ve been pulled over or received a ticket in Ontario, chances are it falls under the Provincial Offences Act — the law that governs traffic offences, by-law breaches, and other non-criminal charges.

These aren’t criminal offences, but the penalties can still hurt, POA tickets can have serious consequences — heavy fines, demerit points, skyrocketing insurance rates, and even a suspended licence.

The clock starts ticking the moment you get that ticket. Waiting too long can cost you your defence.

 The Most Common Offences We Fight (Traffic Tickets)

 

 

We help drivers just like you fight tickets every single day, including:

 

  • Speeding

  • Running red lights or stop signs

  • Distracted driving (cell phone use)

  • Careless driving

  • Driving without insurance

  • Seatbelt violations

  • Improper turns or lane changes

​

One ticket can stay on your record for years — damaging your driving record and costing you thousands in extra insurance premiums.

Your Options When You Get a Ticket

 

 

When you’re handed a ticket, you have three options:

 

  1. Pay it – You’re pleading guilty, no questions asked. It goes on your record and your insurance company will treat you as a higher risk.

  2. Early Resolution – You might get a reduced fine or fewer demerit points — but the conviction still stays.

  3. Fight it – This is your chance to reduce or eliminate the charge entirely, saving your record, your insurance, and your money.

​

Important: You have a limited time to respond to your ticket. Miss the deadline, and your options vanish.
