When it comes to CVOR traffic tickets, commercial vehicle owners, operators, and drivers must ensure full compliance with safety and regulatory requirements, including:
- Keeping all vehicles in safe mechanical condition while operating on Ontario highways.
- Maintaining and properly completing all required documentation.
- Adhering to all traffic laws and road safety regulations.
- Complying with the Hours of Service Regulations to prevent fatigue-related violations.
If a vehicle is stopped for inspection and found to have mechanical defects, documentation errors, or hours of service violations, both the driver and the company may be charged.
Receiving a CVOR traffic ticket leads to CVOR points being added to the carrier’s record, increasing its violation rate.
In cases where both the driver and the carrier are charged for the same offence, the CVOR points are assigned to the carrier’s record for both violations, further impacting the company’s safety rating.
