Defending You Under Ontario’s Highway Traffic Laws

The Highway Traffic Act (HTA) and the Compulsory Automobile Insurance Act (CAIA) set out the rules governing drivers, vehicles, and road safety across Ontario. Charges under these statutes can lead to serious legal and financial consequences if not handled properly.

We provide defence for a wide range of offences under the HTA and CAIA, including:

  • Careless driving (HTA s.130)

  • Driving under suspension (HTA s.53)

  • Driving without insurance (CAIA s.2(1)(a))

  • Distracted driving / handheld device use (HTA s.78.1)

  • Stunt driving / excessive speed (HTA s.172)

  • Fail to remain at the scene of an accident (HTA s.200)

  • Fail to stop for stop sign or red light (HTA s.136, s.144)

  • Improper lane change or turn (HTA s.142, s.141)

  • Speeding (HTA s.128)

  • CVOR offences for commercial drivers (HTA s.16.1)

We also represent clients facing roadside suspensions and penalties related to administrative licence suspensions and escalating sanctions for novice drivers.
