Licence Suspension Risk Calculator

In Ontario, fully licensed (G) drivers face a mandatory 30-day suspension at 15 demerit points. G2 and G1 drivers face suspension at 6 and 9 points respectively. Commercial drivers have different rules: a 30-day suspension triggers at 15 points. At 9–14 points (full licence), the MTO sends a warning letter requiring a meeting.

No. Driving while suspended is a serious criminal offence in most provinces. In Ontario, it carries a minimum fine of $1,000 for a first offence, possible imprisonment, and an additional 6-month suspension. Vehicle impoundment also applies. The consequences are far more severe than the original suspension.

A suspension triggered by demerit points lasts 30 days for a first offence. A second demerit-point suspension within 10 years is 6 months, and a third is 1 year. After serving the suspension, you re-enter with a reduced (but not zero) point count.
