Act Fast — Driving Without a Licence Is a Serious Offence

In Ontario, being charged with driving without a valid licence under the Highway Traffic Act can lead to hefty fines, insurance increases, and possible suspension of your driving privileges.


Many drivers don’t realize that even simple mistakes — like forgetting to renew your licence, driving with the wrong class of licence, or operating a vehicle without carrying your physical licence — can result in major penalties.


That’s where we step in.

Client Success Story

★★★★★

"I honestly did not have any trust in paralegals and felt they only cared about fees, but Damian went beyond what I would expect. He was able to get my traffic ticket dismissed — something other paralegals told me wasn’t possible. Everything went smoothly, all promises were kept, and the communication was excellent. I’ll be going back to him for all my legal needs."

FAQs About Driving Without a Licence in Ontario

  • 1. Is driving without a licence a criminal offence in Ontario?

    No — it is a provincial offence under the Highway Traffic Act, not a criminal charge. However, the consequences can still be serious.

  • 2. What if I just forgot my licence at home?

    If you are licensed but didn’t have the physical card with you, it’s a lesser charge. We can often get this reduced or withdrawn.

  • 3. Can this charge be reduced?

    Yes. In many cases, we can negotiate it down to a minor infraction or have it dismissed, especially if it’s a first offence.
