Appealing points
Driver penalty points are added to your
driving record only when the Courts have convicted
you of an offence, or you have plead
guilty to one. For this reason, points
can not be appealed.
By paying a driving or traffic-related provincial
violation ticket fine, either partially or fully, you are admitting
that you are guilty. Non-payment within the 30-day ticket payment
period is also considered a guilty plea, unless you have registered
a dispute.
Once you pay your fine or the 30-day payment
period has elapsed, the associated points will be added to your
driving record.
If you disagree with the allegation or the
fine amount of your violation ticket, you can dispute the
ticket. To dispute, you must take certain steps before your fine
is due. See Disputing
a ticket.
