Careless Driving Tickets & Street Racing

Careless driving is one of the major traffic offenses in Toronto. The fines are heavy, $200 to $1000, if convicted; you could face up to 6 months in jail and a 2-year license suspension.
Careless driving is an easy charge to place but a good legal representative can easily avoid conviction because most people (including traffic police officers) are not fully aware of the details of a “careless driving” charge. Legal Action’s Traffic Tickets Toronto team can assist you to clear this charge very easily.
Street racing is basically car racing carried out on city streets and new laws in Ontario state that going 50 km/h over the speed limit also constitutes as street racing. This is a highly illegal activity that violates many traffic regulations. There must be an agreement between two or more parties for the race to take place. Unlike careless driving, street racing is a deliberate offense and requires more work to defend. Luckily, Legal Action can recommend well established lawyers to fight such a charge.
Our competitors may claim to offer similar services, but in reality all they do is plead guilty to reduce the severity of demerit points accumulated on your record. This will certainly not help because most insurance companies look at the amount of convictions you have obtained and what they are for. Insurance companies will increase your insurance rates regardless of whether you have 7 demerit points or 2 demerit points if you accumulate too many convictions.
To use our services, just contact our Toronto traffic tickets team and we will see how we can help you in eliminating negative entries from your record. Don’t let you insurance rates hit the roof when they don’t have to. Take Legal Action today.
