Photo radar tickets in Quebec:

Question: Photo radar tickets in Quebec:

Answer options:

• Add demerit points to the registered owner ✅ Go to the registered owner but do not add demerit points
• Are sent to the actual driver
• Are warnings only

Correct answer: Go to the registered owner but do not add demerit points

Explanation: Under Quebec's Highway Safety Code, photo radar tickets are mailed to the vehicle's registered owner because automated cameras identify the license plate rather than the driver. Because the driver's identity cannot be legally certified at the time of the offense, no demerit points are entered on the owner's driving record. This rule makes options suggesting demerit points are added, or that tickets are sent directly to the actual driver, incorrect. Additionally, these are legally binding fines, not merely warnings. Understanding this distinction between officer-issued tickets and photo radar infractions is highly relevant for the SAAQ knowledge exam, which frequently tests how demerit points are allocated.
