Speeding ticket in Quebec?
Alright I've tried finding the answer for this question everywhere but with no luck. I got a ticket about 11-12 months ago in Quebec going to Montreal at 130kmh on the highway. I pleaded not guilty (just to delay the insurance premium) and lo and behold got convicted December with a payment date in March. No big deal I thought, 2 demerits... except I just got a letter saying it's 4 demerits? I know demerits carry over between provinces but I'm being penalized as if I committed the offense in Ontario not Quebec. Like they took the 30 over and applied Ontario HTA penalties instead of carrying over the Quebec penalties. Is this how it's supposed to work? I'm gonna stop by a service ontario tomorrow just in case but dang.

How demerit points work 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 record for two years from the offence date. If you collect enough points, you can lose your driver’s licence. You can also get demerit points on your Ontario’s driver’s licence when you violate driving laws in: other Canadian provinces and territories the State of New York the State of Michigan Sooooo, you get the Ontario demerits for the ticket issued in any province, New York or Michigan.

Or you could have...Oh, I don't know... Maybe driven slower? Especially going through PQ with Ontario plates?

Demerits don’t actually matter in any way, until you have too many, and they revoke your license.
Your insurance only cares about the number of convictions, even if they are zero points each, and if any of them are “Major” infractions. |

Oh I have little doubt that ol' Max will max out his demerits.

yeah I know I know I honestly wasn't even consciously thinking about it I'm just used to Toronto cruising speeds but lesson learned... It was a sunday I was just cruising it was in the part before Montreal where it's all just fields. I've done some dumb shit with this car but that was just me being inattentive and somewhat unlucky :/
