Handheld Ticket

Handheld – Section 78.1 of Highway Traffic Act

  • No driver shall drive a motor vehicle on a highway while holding or touching a handheld wireless device.
  • As of September 1st, 2015, If caught doing so you will receive a minimum $300 fine to a maximum $1000 as well as a 3 demerit points
  • Change to the Novice driver licence holders will include a 30 day suspension on first offence, under the new legislation.

All convictions will stay on your driving record for 3 years and could affect your insurance rating.

Once retained, we will file your ticket. In 2-4 months a trial date will be set and we will order the evidence of the case from the charging officer.  We will review this evidence with you and discuss all the reasonable options.  These options range from running a trial and challenging the officers evidence and pushing for a withdraw, or we can negotiate a reasonable resolution with the crown to reduce your demerit points and fine.
