Frequently Asked Questions
Do red light camera tickets affect insurance in Ontario?
Red light camera tickets do not carry demerit points and typically do not affect insurance because they are issued to the vehicle owner, not the driver. However, officer-issued red light tickets carry 3 demerit points and will affect insurance.
How do I fight a red light camera ticket?
You can request a trial and challenge the evidence. Common defences include proving the yellow light timing was inadequate, the camera malfunctioned, you entered the intersection legally but couldn't safely stop, or emergency circumstances required you to proceed.
What is the fine for running a red light in Ontario?
Red light camera tickets are a set fine of $325. Officer-issued red light tickets range from $260-$500 plus 3 demerit points. The insurance impact of an officer-issued ticket far exceeds the fine itself.
How long will this affect my insurance?
A traffic conviction typically affects insurance rates for 3 years from conviction date. Impact varies by insurer and offence. Fighting often costs less than long-term insurance increase.
