Charged With a Traffic Violation?

Whether you’ve been served with unwarranted traffic tickets or involved in a hit-and-run, seeking an experienced traffic violation lawyer is crucial. If you’ve been charged with a traffic violation, our passionate team will fight to get you the justice you deserve.

Failure to Remain at an Accident

It’s natural for drivers to panic or worry when involved in a traffic accident or collision. 

However, fleeing the scene is a serious traffic offence. Those who fail to remain at the scene of a car crash or flee after hitting a pedestrian may face significant penalties, fines, and potential imprisonment.

Under section 69(1) of Canada’s Criminal Code, drivers charged with failure to remain could face a wide variety of consequences.

Our criminal lawyers in Edmonton are experienced in defending against these serious charges.

Driving While Suspended

Under section 94(2) of Canada’s Criminal Code, driving or operating a vehicle with a suspended or disqualified license is illegal.

This serious violation of traffic laws comes with harsh penalties and possible jail time. First offences may result in a fine of $2,000 or more, and failure to pay can lead to imprisonment for two weeks to six months, depending on the severity of the offence.

A second driving suspension offence within one year of the first will result in a prison sentence ranging from two weeks to six months.

All convictions for operating a vehicle with a suspended or disqualified license will lead to further driving suspensions in addition to any current suspensions.

An Edmonton traffic lawyer will help you navigate these charges and protect your rights. Contact BW Law today. 

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a yellow traffic ticket?

A yellow traffic ticket includes a specified fine amount and may or may not include demerit points. A yellow ticket also includes a court date. Failure to appear in court on that date or pay the fine in full before that time will result in steep fines and demerit points. 

A pink or red traffic ticket indicates a mandatory court appearance. There is no fine amount specified on the ticket, and the associated fees and penalties may vary based on the circumstance. Failure to appear in court will result in a warrant being issued for your arrest. If you receive a pink traffic ticket, you should contact a traffic ticket lawyer in Edmonton immediately. 

Ultimately, the decision is yours, but in order to avoid high fines and demerit points, you should first talk to a speeding ticket lawyer. 

Traffic infractions remain on your record for various times based on the type of infraction. Minor violations, including speeding tickets or failure to stop at a stop sign, remain on your record for three years, while more serious offences, such as driving under the influence, can remain on your record for 10+ years. 

Fully licensed drivers will receive a driving suspension when 15 or more demerit points are accumulated over a two-year period. For drivers in the Graduated Driver Licensing Program (GDL), suspension occurs after eight demerit points are accumulated. The length of suspension can vary.
