Inquiry: Hello! I just got my ticket for failing to stop by the red lights but I wasn’t the one who was driving at the moment. Will my demerit points get affect by this situation?! (This is my first time I got the ticket)
Response: The answer is: it depends. In Ontario, if you receive a red light ticket based on a camera, then no. You’re simply charged as the owner of the vehicle, not the driver. On the other hand, if you were stopped and given a ticket with your name on it by a police officer, then yes.
