Want to fight your ticket? Don’t do it alone.
Many drivers in Alberta try to defend their ticket—but make costly mistakes that hurt their case.
Why People Lose Their Traffic Ticket Fight
Fighting a ticket the wrong way can be just as bad as not fighting at all.
If you don’t know how the system works, you might end up with:
- Full demerit points
- A guilty conviction
- Higher insurance premiums
- License suspension
Here are the top 5 mistakes Alberta drivers make—and how to avoid them.
1. Paying the Ticket Without Asking for Help
Once you pay the fine, you’re admitting guilt. It’s over.
The result?
- Demerit points go on your record
- You can’t appeal anymore
- Insurance premiums may increase
Always get advice first. A free review could save you hundreds—or even your license.
2. Missing the Court Deadline
Most tickets in Alberta require action within 15 days.
If you miss that window, the court can convict you in your absence.
Late doesn’t always mean lost—we may still be able to reopen the ticket—but time matters.
3. Showing Up Without a Defense
Just walking into court and saying “I didn’t mean to” won’t work.
You need a solid legal argument, supported by facts like:
- Ticket errors
- Lack of evidence
- Poor visibility or traffic conditions
We help drivers build a proper defense—and represent them in court.
4. Going to Court Alone (When You Don’t Have To)
You don’t need to take time off work or navigate court by yourself.
Most of the time, we can attend court for you, deal with the prosecutor, and fight for:
- No demerit points
- A reduced fine
- Full dismissal
5. Waiting Until It’s Too Late to Call
By the time most drivers reach out, they’ve already paid the fine, missed court, or been convicted.
The best time to call? Right after you get the ticket.
But even if you’re late, we may still be able to help.
