Question: In Ontario, demerit points are added to your record when:
Answer options:
- The offence is committed ✅ You pay the fine or are convicted
- Your insurance asks
- Never
Correct answer: You pay the fine or are convicted
Explanation: In Ontario, demerit points are officially added to your driving record only after you are convicted of an offence in court or when you pay the ticket's fine, which serves as an admission of guilt. They cannot be added when the offence is committed because drivers have the right to due process. Insurance companies have no authority to apply demerits, nor do they request their addition, which rules out the other options. This reflects the Ministry of Transportation policy that formal convictions trigger penalties. For the G1 exam, understanding this distinction is vital as the test frequently assesses the exact mechanics of demerit point accumulation and suspensions.
