G1 Drivers

Neither the police nor the courts are required to tell G1 drivers of the hidden penalties for speeding tickets.

Novice drivers have strict penalties with lower thresholds from class G drivers, including thirty (30) day licence suspensions for:

• speeding more than 29km/h over the limit
• accumulating four (4) or more demerit points
• accumulating six (6) or more demerit points

Where a G1 Driver has their licence suspended the insurance rates will be dramatically affected.

Any speeding ticket for more than 29km/h has a licence suspension for G1 Drivers.

• 0-15km/h
  • no demerit points
  • insurance increase of fifty (50) percent or more
• 16km/h to 29km/h
  • three (3) demerit points
  • insurance increase of fifty (50) percent or more
• 30km/h to 49km/h
  • 4 demerit points
  • 30 day licence suspension
  • 100% insurance increase
• more than 50 km/h
  • 6 demerit points
  • vehicle seizure for 7 days
  • immediate licence suspension for 7 days
  • mandatory court appearance
  • possible 2 year licence suspension
  • possible jail up to 6 months
  • fine up to 10,000 dollars

Any speeding ticket or traffic ticket a G1 Driver receives will affect insurance rates for three (3) years.
