Yes, speeding tickets can affect your insurance rates. Insurance companies consider the severity of the infraction, and the amount of violations. Some insurance companies provide incentives, like lower rates, for safe drivers who avoid traffic violations, such as speeding tickets.
How Many Demerits is a Speeding Ticket in Alberta?
In Alberta, Demerits points are based on the severity of the traffic violation. As the kph over the speed limit increases, so does the number of demerit points.
- Speeding ‑ exceeding limit by up to 15 kph = 2 Demerit Points
- Speeding – exceeding limit by over 15 but not more than 30 kph = 3 Demerit Points
- Speeding – exceeding limit by over 30 kph but not more than 50 kph = 4 Demerit Points
- Speeding – exceeding limit by more than 50 kph = 6 Demerit Points
It is also possible to get demerits for driving too slow. Driving at less than minimum speed, or slow driving impeding traffic can get you 2 demerit points.
Can Demerit Points Affect Insurance in Alberta?
No, demerit points do not affect insurance rates directly. However, insurance rates are affected by some traffic violations such as speeding tickets.
In Summary
- The cost of speeding tickets in Alberta are directly correlated with how fast you were speeding.
- This is also true of demerit points.
