Class G2 drivers are suspended for:
- any one traffic ticket with 4 or more demerits
- accumulating 9 or more demerits
The suspension period receiving any ticket with 4 or more demerit points will be 30 days for a first accumulation. Subsequent accumulations will result in an escalated suspension for six (6) months. The suspension for accumulating 9 demerit points will be 60 days.
There is a cost to reinstate the licence.
Insurance
Where a novice drivers licence is suspended the suspension will dramatically affect insurance rates.
Novice drivers with a speeding conviction and licence suspension will be put into high risk insurance rates.
Where the ticket was inadvertently paid without realizing the implications, drivers may want to consider contacting our office to consider an appeal to have the conviction removed.

Accumulating Demerit Points
It is a common misconception that drivers “lose” demerit points due to convictions for traffic offences.
In fact, a driver begins with zero (0) demerit points and “accumulates points”.
The accumulation of points puts drivers at risk of a licence suspension. Traffic ticket convictions affect the drivers insurance rates.
