Since April 1st, 2008, if you are found guilty of excessive speeding, this offense is taken into consideration for a period of 10 years. If you commit one or more other severe speeding offenses within 10 years of a conviction, you receive a more severe penalty.
Thus, if you are stopped for excessive speeding and you have already been convicted of excessive speeding in the last 10 years, your driver’s license will be suspended immediately for a period of 30 days. The vehicle will also be immediately seized for a period of 30 days if this violation, and at least one (1) other, occurred in an area where the speed limit is 60 km/h or less.
It is often possible to negotiate the file with the Crown prosecutor in order to reduce the demerit points and/or the amount of the fine, and thus prevent you from losing your driver’s license.
In some cases, it is possible to obtain an outright withdrawal of the charge.
