Question

Can you lose your license for 3 months if you were going 50 over the speed limit in Ontario?

Answer 1

Currently in Ontario you lose your license and get your car towed for a week, and face a fine from $2K to $10K, if you speed over 50km over the limit.

For those who don't live in Ontario - the average speed that people drove on many of the highways before the new rules were 130-140 km even though the speed limit was 100km. Nowdays it's more like 120km. It's not like in some other areas where people actually respect the speed limit - culturally, Ontarians tend to go over it regularly. (And for the Americans, it's 50 km not 50 miles over).

Answer 2

FIFTY over the limit?  I would hope you lose your license for good.

Answer 3

h**l if your doing 50 mph over the speed limit I sure would hope they would take away your license.  They should take your car while their at it you won't need it anymore.

Answer 4

The new law states...

When caught driving 50 kph over the posted limit ---

Automatic roadside license suspension for 7 days

Automatic roadside vehicle impoundment for 7 days

Automatic hefty fine to a maximum of $10,000

Not sure what the penalties are for repeat offenders.

Answer 5

i dont kno, but d**n in mii state if your even going 26 over the spend limit you can get arrested for reckless driving

Answer 6

up to 10 thousand dollar fine, they can take your vehicle and suspend your lisence for 50 over!

Answer 7

they just passed new laws in ontario, and yes, they can jack your licence for doing over 50.

i got pulled over doing 151 in a 100 on the 401 a week before the new laws. the cop told me it would have been like 600 bucks plus a trip to court, but he dropped it down to 29 over. im uber lucky it wasnt a week later.

i think they are more likely to let you off if its in a higher speed limit zone. if you were doing 101 in a 50 its worse than doing 131 in an 80 for example.
