CAJ Paralegal has experienced in fighting traffic tickets.

If you collect enough Demerit points, you can lose your driver's licence.

Don't Pay the Ticket Fight it.

You don't “lose” demerit points on your driving record.

You start with zero points and gain points for being convicted of breaking certain traffic laws.

Demerit points stay on your driving record for two years from the offence date.
