Terms of use
A reference tool, not legal advice and not a court office.
Draft for review. Every figure on this page is transcribed from the instrument cited beside it; the reviewer of record has not signed the values off. Check the cited provision before relying on an amount.
What you may rely on this site for
You may rely on this site for what the instruments it cites actually say, and for the arithmetic it performs on them. Each figure is transcribed from the primary instrument shown beside it, and each instrument carries its own currency date. Where an instrument does not settle a question, this site says so and shows the readings rather than choosing one.
What this site is not
It is not legal advice, it is not a court office, and it cannot see your notice. It has no account, no form that stores anything and no lookup of any driver record. If an amount here matters to a decision you are making, read the cited provision — the citation is on the page for exactly that reason.
It is not a party to anything between you and a prosecutor, a court or a ministry, and it cannot pay, contest, look up or file anything on your behalf. It does not know what is on your notice, what a prosecutor will accept, or what a justice of the peace will do on the day. Every figure here is what an instrument states for a set of facts you described to a calculator — not a prediction of your outcome.
Corrections
A figure that is wrong is the most serious defect this site can have, and a correction is the most useful message it can receive. Name the page, the province and the provision; a citation is worth more than a description. Corrections are made in the data these pages are built from, so the fix reaches every page that quotes the same instrument at once.
Who runs this site, and how to reach it
Ticketmètre is built and operated by the small team that publishes it; there is no company behind it that you would recognise, no partner, no advertiser and no relationship with any court, ministry, insurer or law firm. One address reaches the people who write these pages, and it is the only address on the site.

Scope
What this site covers
Covered
Ontario and Québec only. Those are the two jurisdictions whose instruments have been read for this site, and every figure here belongs to one of them.
Unmeasured here
Eleven further provinces and territories are UNMEASURED here — that means they have not been read for this site, not that they are absent from Canada’s fine landscape. Nothing on this site is a national claim.
Out of scope
Municipal by-law offences — parking above all — are priced by roughly four hundred municipalities and are out of scope. This site prices provincial offences.
