Careless Driving Defence in Ontario: Protecting Your Record and Future

Careless driving is one of the most commonly charged offences under Ontario’s Highway Traffic Act (HTA)—and one of the most misunderstood. A conviction can mean heavy fines, six demerit points, insurance hikes, and even jail time in serious cases. At Venti Legal, we defend drivers accused of careless driving, working to protect your record, your insurance, and your livelihood.
