Potential Defences & Legal Strategies for Ontario Traffic Tickets


Not every traffic ticket conviction is final


With the right legal defence, you may be able to reduce penalties, avoid demerit points, or even have your ticket withdrawn entirely. At Cordaie Paralegal Services, we use proven strategies tailored to your unique situation.

Common Legal Defences We Use


  • ✔ Police Procedure Errors
    If an officer made a mistake during the stop, investigation, or paperwork, the charge may be invalid.


  • ✔ Insufficient or Weak Evidence
    The prosecution must prove the charge beyond a reasonable doubt. If evidence is lacking, we can challenge it.


  • ✔ Charter Rights Violations
    Every driver in Ontario has rights under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. If your rights were violated, we can use that as part of your defence.


  • ✔ Officer Testimony Challenges
    Cross-examining the officer’s testimony can expose inconsistencies or gaps in the case against you.


  • ✔ Technical Defences
    Radar calibration errors, improper signage, or incorrect ticket details can sometimes be enough to beat your charge.


  • ✔ Negotiated Resolutions
    Even if the charge can’t be fully withdrawn, we often negotiate to reduce the fine, eliminate demerit points, or downgrade the offence.


Why Legal Strategies Matter


Traffic tickets may seem minor, but the consequences can be long-lasting:


  • Increased insurance rates for years
  • Accumulated demerit points leading to suspension
  • Employment issues for drivers who need a clean record
  • Possible licence suspensions for serious or repeat offences


That’s why every case deserves a proper defence strategy.

FAQs About Traffic Ticket Appeals in Ontario

  • 1. Can every traffic ticket be defended?

    Not always — but many tickets have errors or weaknesses that can be challenged. 


    Even when a withdrawal isn’t possible, we often negotiate for reduced fines, fewer demerit points, or downgraded charges.

  • 2. What if the officer’s evidence seems strong?

    Strong-looking evidence doesn’t always hold up in court. We carefully review disclosure for mistakes, inconsistencies, or procedural errors that could weaken the prosecution’s case.

  • 3. Can you challenge radar or speed camera tickets?

    Yes. Devices like radar guns and speed cameras must be properly calibrated, operated, and documented. 


    If the evidence doesn’t meet legal standards, we can use that as part of your defence.

  • 4. What if I already paid my ticket?

    Paying a ticket is the same as pleading guilty. However, depending on the situation, we may still be able to assist through an appeal process.

  • 5. Do I have to go to court myself?

    In most cases, no. We appear on your behalf, saving you time, stress, and the risk of saying something that could harm your case.

  • 6. What’s the benefit of hiring a paralegal instead of fighting on my own?

    Traffic law is complex, and prosecutors don’t go easy on self-represented drivers. 


    Having a licensed paralegal ensures your rights are protected, your options are fully explored, and your chances of a better outcome are much higher.
