The drivers hand book is available on line. Check the website http://www.mto.gov.on.ca" rel="nofollow">LINK and click on Drivers & vehicles -> click Drivers licensing and click -> Drivers handbook on line.

1. GETTING YOUR DRIVER’S LICENCE:-

G: Any car, van or small truck or combination of vehicle and towed vehicle up to 11,000 kg provided the towed vehicle is not over 4,600 kg.

G1: Level one of graduated licensing holders may drive class G vehicles when accompanied by a fully licensed driver with at least four years of driving experience. ( your accompanying driver must have class G or higher license and a blood alcohol level of less than .05 per cent, you must not drive on 400- series roads with posted speed limit over 80/km/h. you must not drive between midnight and 5 a.m.)

G2: Level two of graduated licensing holders may drive class G vehicles without accompanying driver but are subject to certain conditions. (You must not drive if you have been drinking alcohol. Your blood alcohol level must be zero. Each person in the vehicle must have a working seat belt.

SEAT BELTS

 Never drive without fastening your seat belt, as a driver you must make sure all seat belts work and any passenger under the age of 16 must wear a child safety seatbelt.
 Level one and two drivers who don’t meet the seat belt requirements for their licence level can lose their licence for 30 days.

HEADLIGHTS

 Your vehicle must shine a white light that can be seen at least 150 meters in front and is strong enough to light up objects 110 meters away. Must have a red rare light that can be seen 150 meters away.
 Turn on headlights one-half hour before sunset and keep them on until one-half hour after sunrise.
 Remember to switch to low-beams within 150 meters of an oncoming vehicle. Use your low beam when you are less than 60 meters behind another vehicle unless you are passing it.

DRIVING ALONG

 Check your mirrors every five seconds or so.
 Picture the steering wheel as a clock and place your hands at nine o’clock and three o’clock.
 If the lane is not wide enough to share, the cyclist has the right to use the whole lane. Motorcycles use a full lane; treat them like other vehicles when driving.

INTERSECTIONS

 Controlled intersections have traffic lights; yield signs or stop signs to control traffic.
 If the road beyond side street is blocked with traffic, stop before entering the intersection and wait until the traffic ahead moves on.
 Uncontrolled intersections have no signs or traffic lights. If two vehicles come to an uncontrolled intersection from different roads at the same time, the driver on the left must let the driver on the right go first.

YIELD THE RIGHT OF WAY

This means you must let another person go first.
 At an intersection without signs or lights, you must yield the right-of-way to any vehicle approaching from the right.
 At an intersection with stop signs at all corners, you must yield the right-of-way to the first vehicle to come to a complete stop. If two vehicle stop at the same time, the vehicle on the left must yield to the vehicle on the right.
 Signaling does not give you the right-of-way. You must make sure the way is clear.

STOPPING

 Use your right feet for both gas and break pedals.
 You should be in the same gear going downhill as uphill.
 You must come to a complete stop at all stop signs. – stop at the stop line if it is marked on the pavement- if there is no stop line, stop at the crosswalk, marked or not – if there is no cross walk, stop at the edge of the sidewalk – if there is no sidewalk, stop at the edge of the intersection.

Stopping at school crossing; You must stop for school crossing guards guiding children across a road. These guards carry red and white stop signs. Drivers who don’t stop can be fined.

Stopping for school buses; No matter what direction you are traveling in, you must stop whenever you approach a stopped school bus with its upper alternating red lights flashing. If you are coming form behind the bus, stop at least 20 meters away. Do not go until the bus moves or the lights have stopped flashing.
If you do not stop for a school bus, you can be fined $400 to $2,000 and get six demerit points for a first offence. If you break the rule second time within five years, the penalty is a fine of $1000 to $4,000 and six demerit points. You could also go to jail for up to six months.

RIGHT TURN

 Unless signs or pavement markings tell you not to, always begin and end a right turn close to the right side of the road.
 You may turn fight on a red light as long as you first come to a complete stop and wait until the way is clear.

LEFT TURN

 Unless signs or pavement markings tell you not to, always begin and end a left turn in the far left lane in your direction.
 You may turn left from a one-way road to a one-way road on a red light after coming to a complete stop and making sure the way is clear. Yield to pedestrian and traffic.

BACKING UP

 If you are reversing straight back or to the right, turn your body and head to the right, and look back over your right shoulder and vice-versa. Always check the opposite shoulder as well.
 You don’t have to wear a seatbelt while backing up. If you need to remove your seat belt to turn your body to see properly, do so.
 It is illegal to drive in reverse on a divided road that has a speed limit of more than 80 km/h. this applies to the traveled section of the road and shoulder. Only exception- trying to help someone in trouble.

U-TURN

 Check to make sure there is no sign saying not to take U-turn.
 Never make u-turn unless you can see at least 150 metres in both direction.

CHANGING LANES

 Steps for making a lane change, 1. check your mirrors for a space in traffic where you can enter safely, 2. check your blind spots, 3. check again no one coming too fast, 4. steer gradually into the new lane and maintain the speed.

PASSING

 Passing is changing lanes to move past a slower vehicle.
 Do not pass moving snow plows under any conditions.
 Do not pass within 30 metres of a pedestrian crossing.
 On many high speed roads with three or more lanes in each direction, trucks are not allowed to drive in the far left-hand lane. This means that the lane next to it is truck passing lane. If you are in this lane and a truck wants to pass, move into the far right lane as soon as possible.

PASSING AT NIGHT

 Be very careful when you pass other vehicle at night. Follow this steps 1. Switch your headlight to low beams as you approach a vehicle form behind. 2. Switch your high beams on and off quickly to warn the driver ahead you are going to pass. 3. Signal, check your mirrors and blind spot, and pull out to pass. Switch on your high beam to see more of the road ahead. 4. when you can see all the front of the vehicle you are passing , in the rear view mirror , you are far enough ahead to pull back into the right lane. Remember to signal.


PASSING ON SHOULDER

 You may drive on the right shoulder only to pass a vehicle turning left and only if the shoulder is paved.
 You may not pass on the left shoulder, paved or not.

PASSIN ON THE RIGHT

 Most passing is done on the left. You may pass on the right on multilane or one way roads and when overtaking a streetcar or a left-turning vehicle.

PASSING STREETCARS

 You must pass streetcars on the right unless you are driving on a one way road.
 At streetcar stops, stay at least two meters behind the rear doors where passengers are getting on or off.

PARKING: Since parking rules change from road to road and place to place, always watch for and obey signs that say you may not stop or limit stopping, standing or parking. Be aware that not all parking by-laws are posted on signs. Some basic parking rules are

 Never park on the traveled part of a road. Drive off the road on to the shoulder if you must stop for some reason.
 Never park on a place where you do not have a clear vision for at least 125 meters in both direction.
 Do not park within three meters of a fire hydrant, within 100 meters of a bridge, within 6 meters of a public entrance to a hotel, theatre etc.
 Do not park within 9 meters of an intersection or within 15 meters if it is controlled by traffic lights, within 15 meters of the nearest rail of a level railway crossing.

PARKING ON A HILL

 When parking facing down hill, turn your front wheels towards the curb or the right shoulder.
 When parking uphill turn the steering wheel to the left, the tires will catch the curb if rolls backward.
 Facing uphill without a curb, turn the wheel sharply to the right. If the vehicle rolls it will go off the road rather than into traffic.

EMERGENCY VEHICLES

 If you hear the bell or siren of a police, fire, ambulance or public utility emergency vehicle, or see its lights flashing, you must get out of the way. On a two way road, stop as close as possible to the right-hand side of the road and clear of any intersection.

DRIVING AT NIGHT AND IN BAD WEATHER

 You are overdriving your headlights when you go so fast that your stopping distance is faster than you can see with your headlights.
 In fog, turn on your lights and slow down. Use your headlights on low beam only.
 Rain makes road surface slippery, if there is too much water or if you are going too fast, your tire may ride on top of the water, like water skis. This is called hydroplaning.
 Most skids result from driving too fast for road or traffic conditions. Skids can also be caused by sudden, hard braking, going too fast around a corner or accelerating too quickly. Once in skid, steer in the direction of the skid. Be careful not to oversteer.
 On free ways. Several snow plows may be staggered across the road, clearing all lanes at the same time by passing a ridge of snow from plow to plow. Do not try to pass between them.

DEALING WITH EMERGENCIES

 In a collision with injuries, possible fuel leaks or serious vehicle damage, stay calm and follow these steps:
 Call for help or have someone else call. By law, you must report any collision to the police when there are injuries or damage to vehicles or other property exceeding $ 700.
 If the damage is less than $700 , you are still required by law to exchange information with anyone whose vehicle has been damaged. However, the collision does not have to be reported to the police.
TRAFFIC SIGNS AND LIGHTS


SIGNS: Traffic signs give you important information about the law, warn you about dangerous conditions and help you find your way.

A stop sign is eight-sided and has a red background with white
letters. It means you must come to a complete stop. Stop at the stop line if it is marked on the pavement. If there is no stop line, stop at the crosswalk, marked or not. If there is no crosswalk, stop at the edge of the sidewalk. If there is no sidewalk, stop at the edge of the intersection. Wait until the way is clear before entering the intersection.

A school zone sign is five-sided and has a blue background with white symbols. It warns that you are coming to a school zone. Slow down, drive with extra caution, and watch for children.

A yield sign is a triangle with a white background and a red border. It means you must let traffic in the intersection or close to it go first. Stop if necessary and go only when the way is clear.

. A railway crossing sign is X-shaped with a white background and red outline. It warns that railway tracks cross the road. Watch for this sign. Slow down and look both ways for trains. Be prepared to stop




Regulatory signs
These signs give a direction that must be obeyed. They are usually rectangular or square with a white or black background and black, white or coloured letters.
A sign with a green circle means you may or must do the activity shown inside the ring. A red circle with a line through it means the activity shown is not allowed.
Here are some common regulatory signs:
This road is an official bicycle route. Watch for cyclists and be prepared to share the road with them.

Snowmobiles may use this road.
You may park in the area between the signs during the times posted. (Used in pairs or groups.)

Do not enter this road.
Do not stop in the area between the signs. This means you may not stop your vehicle in this area, even for a moment. (Used in pairs or groups.)

Do not stand in the area between the signs. This means you may not stop your vehicle in this area except to load or unload passengers or merchandise. (Used in pairs or groups.) Do not park in the area between the signs. This means you may not stop your vehicle except to load or unload passengers or merchandise. (Used in pairs or groups.)

This sign reserves curb area for picking up and dropping off passengers with disabilities. This parking space is only for vehicles displaying a valid Disabled Person Parking Permit.

Do not turn left at the intersection.
Do not drive through the intersection.

This is a pedestrian crossing or crossover. You must yield the right-of-way to pedestrians.


The speed limit in this zone is lower during school hours. Observe the speed limit shown when the yellow lights are flashing.
Speed limit changes ahead.


These signs, above the road or on the pavement before an intersection, tell drivers the direction they must travel. For example: the driver in lane one must turn left; the driver in lane two must turn left or go straight ahead; and the driver in lane three must turn right. This sign, above the road or on the ground, means the lane is only for two-way left turns.

Traffic may travel in one direction only.

These signs mean lanes are only for specific types of vehicles, either all the time or during certain hours.
Different symbols are used for the different types of vehicles. They include: buses, taxis, vehicles with three or more people and bicycles. Keep to the right lane except when passing on two-lane sections where climbing lanes are provided.













Warning signs
These signs warn of dangerous or unusual conditions ahead such as a curve, turn, dip or sideroad. They are usually diamond-shaped and have a yellow background with black letters or symbols.
Here are some common warning signs:
Narrow bridge ahead.
Road branching off ahead.


Pavement narrows ahead.
Drivers on the sideroad at the intersection ahead don’t have a clear view of traffic.

Two roads going in the same direction are about to join into one. Drivers on both are equally responsible for seeing that traffic merges smoothly and safely. Intersection ahead. The arrow shows which direction of traffic has the right-of-way.

Slight bend or curve in the road ahead. Sharp bend or turn in the road ahead.


Sharp turn or bend in the road in the direction of the arrow. The checkerboard border warns of danger. Slow down; be careful. Posted under a curve warning, this sign shows the maximum safe speed for the curve.

Hazard close to the edge of the road. The downward lines show the side on which you may safely pass. Chevron (arrowhead) signs are posted in groups to guide drivers around sharp curves in the road.

The road ahead is split into two separate roads by a median. Keep to the right-hand road. Each road carries one-way traffic. Traffic travels in both directions on the same road ahead. Keep to the right.

Share the road with oncoming traffic.
Right lane ends ahead. If you are in the right-hand lane you must merge safely with traffic in the lane to the left.

Shows maximum safe speed on ramp.
Winding road ahead.


The bridge ahead lifts or swings to let boats pass. Paved surface ends ahead.


Bicycle crossing ahead.
Snowmobiles cross this road.


Deer regularly cross this road; be alert for animals. Watch for pedestrians and be prepared to share the road with them.

Steep hill ahead. You may need to use a lower gear. Underpass ahead. Take care if you are driving a tall vehicle. Sign shows how much room you have.

Stop sign ahead. Slow down.
Traffic lights ahead. Slow down.


Bump or uneven pavement on the road ahead. Slow down and keep control of your vehicle. Pavement is slippery when wet. Slow down and drive with caution.

Truck entrance on the right side of the road ahead. If the sign shows the truck on the left, the entrance is on the left side of the road. Railway crossing ahead. Be alert for trains. This sign also shows the angle at which the railway tracks cross the road.

Watch for fallen rock and be prepared to avoid a collision. There may be water flowing over the road.

This sign warns you that you are coming to a hidden school bus stop. Slow down, drive with extra caution, watch for children and for a school bus with flashing red lights.

These signs warn of a school crossing. Watch for children and follow the directions of the crossing guard or school safety patroller.








Temporary condition signs
These signs warn of unusual temporary conditions such as road work zones, diversions, detours, lane closures or traffic control people on the road. They are usually diamond-shaped with an orange background and black letters or symbols.
Here are some common temporary condition signs:
Construction work one kilometre ahead. Road work ahead.


You are entering a construction zone. Drive with extra caution and be prepared for a lower speed limit. Traffic control person ahead. Drive slowly and watch for instructions.

Lane ahead is closed for roadwork. Obey the speed limit and merge with traffic in the open lane. Closed lane. Adjust speed to merge with traffic in lane indicated by arrow.

Temporary detour from normal traffic route. Flashing lights on the arrows show the direction to follow.

Pavement has been milled or grooved. Your vehicle’s stopping ability may be affected so obey the speed limit and drive with extra caution. Motorcyclists may experience reduced traction on these surfaces. Do not pass the pilot or pace vehicle bearing this sign.

Reduce speed and be prepared to stop.


Portable changeable message sign: Reduce speed as indicated and prepare for changing conditions as described by the sign.

Information and direction signs
These signs tell you about distances and destinations. They are usually rectangular with a green background and white letters. Other signs with different colours guide you to facilities, services and attractions.
Here are some common information and direction signs:
Shows directions to nearby towns and cities. Shows the distances in kilometres to towns and cities on the road.

Advance signs use arrows to show which lanes lead off the freeway. Signs are also posted at the exit.

Sometimes one or more lanes may lead off the freeway. The arrows matching the exit lanes are shown on the advance sign in a yellow box with the word ‘exit’ under them.

Various exit signs are used on freeways. In urban areas, many exit ramps have more than one lane. Overhead and ground-mounted signs help drivers choose the correct lane to exit or stay on the freeway.

Emergency response signing
Some information signs include a numbering system along the bottom of the sign to assist emergency vehicles in determining an appropriate route.

The term 'VIA' is used to describe the roads that must be followed to reach a destination.

Freeway interchanges or exits have numbers that correspond to the distance from the beginning of the freeway. For example, interchange number 203 on Highway 401 is 203 kilometres from Windsor, where the freeway begins. Distances can be calculated by subtracting one interchange number from another.

These signs change according to traffic conditions to give drivers current information on delays and lane closures ahead.

Shows route to passenger railway station. Shows route to airport.


Shows route to ferry service.
Shows types of fuel available:
D — diesel;
P — propane;
N — natural gas.

Shows facilities that are accessible by wheelchair. Shows facilities available such as fuel, food, accommodation or camping.

Other signs
Here are some other common signs:
The slow-moving vehicle sign is orange with a red border. Motor vehicles moving slower than 40 km/h must show this sign at the rear when driving on a road, unless they are only crossing it. The new driver sign has a green background with black lettering. Placed in the back window of a vehicle, it tells other drivers that the driver is a novice.

Bilingual signs
Watch for these signs when driving in designated bilingual areas. Read the messages in the language you understand best. Bilingual messages may be together on the same sign or separate, with an English sign immediately followed by a French sign





















Traffic Lights
Traffic lights guide drivers and pedestrians through intersections and along roads. They tell road users when to stop and go, when and how to turn and when to drive with extra caution.


Green light
A green light means you may turn left, go straight or turn right after yielding to vehicles and pedestrians already in the intersection. When turning left or right you must yield the right-of-way to pedestrians crossing the intersection.




Yellow light
A yellow — or amber — light means the red light is about to appear. You must stop if you can do so safely; otherwise, go with caution.




Red light
A red light means you must stop. Bring your vehicle to a complete stop at the stop line if it is marked on the pavement. If there is no stop line, stop at the crosswalk, marked or not. If there is no crosswalk, stop at the edge of the sidewalk. If there is no sidewalk, stop at the edge of the intersection.


Wait until the light changes to green and the intersection is clear before moving through it.
Unless a sign tells you not to, you may turn right on a red light only after coming to a complete stop and waiting until the way is clear. You may also turn left on a red light if you are moving from a one-way road into a one-way road, but you must come to a complete stop first and wait until the way is clear.




Lights and arrows to help turning vehicles
Flashing green lights and green arrows direct drivers who are turning.
Advance green light or arrow
When you face a flashing green light or a left-pointing green arrow and a green light, you may turn left, go straight ahead or turn right from the proper lane. This is called an advanced green light because oncoming traffic still faces a red light.
Pedestrians must not cross on a flashing green light unless a pedestrian signal tells them to.






Simultaneous left turn
When a left-turn green arrow is shown with a red light, you may turn left from the left-turn lane. Vehicles turning left from the opposite direction may also be making left turns because they too face a left-turn green arrow.
After the left-turn green arrow, a yellow arrow may appear. This means the green light is about to appear for traffic in both directions. Do not start your left turn. Stop if you can do so safely; otherwise, complete your turn with caution.
You can still turn left when the light is green, but only when the way is clear of traffic and pedestrians. If the light turns red when you are in the intersection, complete your turn when it is safe.
Pedestrians must not cross on a left-turn green arrow unless a pedestrian signal tells them to.




Transit Priority Signals
Traffic and pedestrians must yield to public transit vehicles at a transit priority signal. The round signal is on top of a regular traffic signal and shows a white vertical bar on a dark background. This allows transit vehicles to go through, turn right or left, while all conflicting traffic faces a red light.




Fully protected left turn


Some intersections have separate traffic lights for left-turning traffic and for traffic going through the intersection or turning right.
When a left-turn green arrow appears for traffic in the left-turn lane, traffic going straight ahead or turning right will usually see a red light. You may turn left from the left-turn lane when you face a green arrow. Vehicles from the opposite direction may also be turning left.




After the left-turn green arrow, a yellow light appears for left-turning vehicles only.




After the yellow light, a red light appears for left-turning vehicles only. Traffic going straight ahead or turning right will face a green light or green arrows pointing straight ahead and to the right.
In these intersections, you may not begin turning left after the green light appears for traffic going straight ahead or turning right. If the light turns yellow while you are in the intersection, complete your turn with caution.





Flashing red light
You must come to a complete stop at a flashing red light. Move through the intersection only when it is safe.
Flashing yellow light
A flashing yellow light means you should drive with caution when approaching and moving through the intersection.




Blank traffic lights
During an electrical power loss, traffic lights at intersections will not work. Yield the right-of-way to vehicles in the intersection and to vehicles entering the intersection from your right. Go cautiously and use the intersection the same way you would use an intersection with all-way stop signs.



Traffic beacons
A traffic beacon is a single flashing light hung over an intersection or placed over signs or on obstacles in the road.

Flashing red beacon
A flashing red beacon above an intersection or stop sign means you must come to a complete stop. Move through the intersection only when it is safe to do so.
Flashing yellow beacon
A flashing yellow beacon above an intersection, above a warning sign or on an obstruction in the road, warns you to drive with caution.



Pedestrian Signals



Pedestrian signals help pedestrians cross at intersections with traffic lights. The signal for pedestrians to walk is a white walking symbol. A flashing or steady orange hand symbol means pedestrians must not begin to cross.
A pedestrian facing a walk signal may cross the road in the direction of the signal. While crossing, pedestrians have the right-of-way over all vehicles.
Where there are pedestrian pushbuttons, a pedestrian must use the button to bring on the walk signal. Pedestrian signals give people more time to cross than regular traffic lights.
A pedestrian facing a flashing or steady hand symbol should not begin to cross the road. Pedestrians who have already begun to cross when the hand signal appears, should go as quickly as possible to a safe area. While they are crossing, pedestrians still have the right-of-way over vehicles.
At intersections with traffic lights where there are no pedestrian signals, pedestrians facing a green light may cross. Pedestrians may not cross on a flashing green light or a left-turn green arrow.

Intersection pedestrian signals


On a busy main road, an intersection pedestrian signal helps people to cross the road safely by signalling traffic to stop. The intersection pedestrian signal has one or more crosswalks, pedestrian walk and don't walk signals, push buttons for pedestrians, and traffic signal lights on the main road only. Stop signs control traffic on the smaller, less busy crossroad.

You must observe, obey the traffic rules, and use safe driving skills to drive through these intersections. See the topic Driving through intersections.
(See also: Road Safety Topics - Pedestrian Safety )

Pavement Markings


Diagram 3-1
Pavement markings work with road signs and traffic lights to give you important information about the direction of traffic and where you may and may not travel. Pavement markings divide traffic lanes, show turning lanes, mark pedestrian crossings, indicate obstacles, and tell you when it is not safe to pass.
Yellow lines separate traffic travelling in opposite directions. White lines separate traffic travelling in the same direction (Diagram 3-1).
A solid line at the left of your lane means it is unsafe to pass. ('A' should not pass. Diagram 3-2)
A broken line at the left of your lane means you may pass if the way is clear. ('A' may pass if there are enough broken lines ahead to complete the pass safely. Diagram 3-3)
Diagram 3-2 Diagram 3-3














Broken lines that are wider and closer together than regular broken lines are called continuity lines. When you see continuity lines on your left side, it generally means the lane you are in is ending or exiting and that you must change lanes if you want to continue in your current direction. Continuity lines on your right mean your lane will continue unaffected.




Diagram 3-5
A stop line is a single white line painted across the road at an intersection. It shows where you must stop. If there is no stop line marked on the road, stop at the crosswalk, marked or not. If there is no crosswalk, stop at the edge of the sidewalk. If there is no sidewalk, stop at the edge of the intersection (Diagram 3-5).



Diagram 3-6
A crosswalk is marked by two parallel white lines painted across the road. However, crosswalks at intersections are not always marked. If there is no stop line, stop at the crosswalk, marked or not. If there is no crosswalk, stop at the edge of the sidewalk. If there is no sidewalk, stop at the edge of the intersection (Diagram 3-6).





Diagram 3-7 Diagram 3-8
A white arrow painted on a lane means you may move only in the direction of the arrow (Diagram 3-7).
A pedestrian crossing — or crossover — is marked by two white double parallel lines across the road with an X in each lane approaching it. Stop before the line and yield to pedestrians (Diagram 3-8).




Two solid lines painted on the pavement guide traffic away from fixed objects such as bridge piers or concrete islands. Yellow and black markings are also painted on the objects themselves as warnings.


THE DEMERIT POINT SYSTEM
As a Level One or Level Two driver, you will have your licence suspended if you collect nine or more demerit points during a two-year period. You will be sent a warning letter after two or more demerit points. At six points, you may have to go to an interview to discuss your record. If you don’t go to the interview, your licence may be suspended. At nine points, your licence will be suspended for 60 days.
After the suspension, the number of points on your record will be reduced to four. Any extra points could again bring you to the interview level. If you reach nine points again, your licence can be suspended for six months.
Table of Offences

OTHER WAYS TO LOSE YOUR LICENCE
Mandatory HTA suspensions
Your licence will be suspended:
If you are convicted of failing to stop for a police officer and the court believes you wilfully avoided police during pursuit - that you tried to escape the police. (Your licence will be suspended for a minimum of five years.)
If you don't pay a traffic fine when ordered by the court.
Administrative suspension
Your licence will be suspended immediately for 90 days:
If you fail or refuse to give a breath or blood sample when asked by police.
If your blood alcohol concentration is more than 80 milligrams in 100 millilitres of blood (.08).
Driving under suspension
You may not drive, under any circumstances, when your licence is suspended. If you are convicted of driving while your licence is suspended for an HTA offence, you will have to pay a fine of $1,000 to $5,000 for a first offence and $2,000 to $5,000 for a ‘subsequent’ offence. (A ‘subsequent’ offence is when you are convicted again within five years.) You may have to spend six months in jail, or you may have to pay a fine or do both. Your licence will be suspended for an additional six months.
There is a fine for driving when your licence is cancelled.
If you are found guilty of driving while your licence is suspended for a Criminal Code offence, you face a fine of $5,000 to $25,000 for a first offence and $10,000 to $50,000 for a subsequent offence within five years. You also face an additional suspension (one year for a first offence; two years for a subsequent offence) under the HTA and up to two years in prison and three years licence suspension under the Criminal Code.

The maximum legal blood alcohol concentration for fully licensed drivers is 80 milligrams in 100 millilitres of blood (.08). Any more than .08 is against the law.
If your reading is less than .08 but .05 or more, or if you register ‘warn’ on a roadside screening device, the police can suspend your licence for 12 hours.
If your blood alcohol concentration is more than 80 milligrams in 100 millilitres of blood (.08), you will be charged under the Criminal Code. The police will also notify the Registrar of Motor Vehicles and your licence will be suspended immediately for 90 days. Even if your blood alco-hol concentration is less than .08, you can still be charged with impaired driving under the Criminal Code.
