Tickets from failing to stop at a red light are usually either a result of being pulled over by a police officer or by that of a red light camera. Before you pay for a red light fail to stop ticket make sure you know the penalties set against you. There are severe penalties including fines, demerit points and higher insurance rates. SW Legal Services York Region Traffic Tickets has the experience and professionalism that you need to effectively fight these tickets in court.

Red Light Tickets Issued by a Police Officer
Red Light Tickets that are issued by a police officer have both a set fine amount and 3 demerit points that go against your driving record. You’ll have three options when receiving this ticket:

1. You can plead guilty to the charge
2. You can plead guilty to the charge with an explanation
3. You can plead not guilty and fight the Red Light Fail to Stop charge laid against you

If you decide to pay a red light ticket then you are automatically giving the courts a guilty plea to the charge against you. You will have to pay the fine set out in the ticket and you will also receive 3 demerit points on your driving record. Your insurance rates will more then likely increase substantially. If you decide to plead guilty with an explanation then your ticket will not be eliminated off of your driving record. Choosing to go to trial is the only option to fight for the fine and/or demerit points to be reduced or for a complete dismissal.

Red Light Camera Tickets
Red light camera tickets are not issued by a police officer to you on the side of the road but instead they are mailed to the owner of the license plate attached to the vehicle. There are no demerit points with this charge against your license. Because the red light camera system cannot determine who is driving the vehicle and subsequently cannot provide details of the license information it is simply not possible to charge or otherwise convict a specific person. Unfortunately the owner of the vehicle is responsible for paying the fine. The ticket will not appear on the owner of the vehicles driving record and they will not receive any demerit points for the charge. Where Red Light Camera Tickets fines are not paid and otherwise outstanding the owner of the vehicles risks their permit validation being refused or the refusal of a new permit.
