What This Covers

Neil represents drivers facing a range of Highway Traffic Act matters, including:

Why It's Worth a Second Look

Simply paying a ticket is treated as a guilty plea and adds points to your record — which can snowball into a suspension that affects your ability to work or drive for a living. Fighting a ticket, or appealing a suspension once it's issued, can sometimes avoid that outcome or reduce its impact.

How Neil Can Help

Neil reviews the circumstances of the ticket or suspension, advises on the realistic options, and represents drivers through the court process or the applicable appeal.

Can a traffic ticket affect my licence even if I just pay the fine?

Yes. Paying a ticket is treated as an admission of guilt and adds demerit points to your record, which can lead to a suspension if points accumulate.

Is a demerit point suspension the same as a Highway Traffic Act charge?

No. A ticket is a charge under the Highway Traffic Act heard before the courts, while a demerit point suspension is an administrative action taken separately by Manitoba Public Insurance once points accumulate.
