Relevant Material - Demerit Points in Ontario: "The number of demerit points you’ll receive for speeding will depend on how fast you were caught going. As you would expect, the faster you were ticketed for, the more demerit points you’ll receive.

Here is a list of how many demerit points are assigned for speeding :

  • 6 points : Exceeding the speed limit by 50 km/h or more
  • 4 points : Exceeding the speed limit by 30 to 49 km/h

In general, you can convert from km/h to mph by dividing the speed in km/h by 1.6....120 kilometers per hour is the fastest you can go on a Canadian highway. The province of Ontario is especially strict, with maximum speed of 100 km/h. If you are caught driving 50 kilometers per hour over the posted limit in Ontario, your car will be impounded. Below are typical speed limits you will see on Canadian roads.Below are typical speed limits you will see in the United States.
