Speeding Tickets

For most speeding tickets a police officer will issue to you a traffic ticket with a fine. The proper legal name for this type of speeding ticket is “an offence notice or certificate of offence”.

The speeding ticket will have your information on it, the amount of the speed, the date and location, and in most cases it will have two prices on it. 

The first fine on the speeding ticket is called the “set fine”, the other fine is called the “total payable”.

The total payable is higher than the set fine and is the total cost of the speeding ticket. The Ontario government adds a “victim fine surcharge” to every traffic ticket issued in Ontario.  The money collected by this form of taxation is used to help the victims of crimes.

If you are caught speeding more than fifty (50) Kilometers per hour over the speed limit the police officer can issue to you a summons commanding you to appear in court before a Justice of the Peace.

The officer gives the speeding "summons" because the speed recorded was so high that there is not an "out of court settlement" or "set fine" for the offence. The government, and the courts want the driver to appear before a Justice of the Peace to respond to the charges involving high speeds.

Speeding tickets with fines only go up to 49 kilometers per hour, after reaching speeds over 50 kilometres per hour the police officer must issue a summons commanding the driver to appear in court.
