Licences and demerit pointsQuestion 22 of 318

What does the SAAQ do when a driver does not pay fines for Highway Safety Code offences?

  1. It adds one demerit point
  2. It cancels the vehicle registration
  3. It suspends the licence
  4. It sends a warning letter
Show answer

Correct answer: It suspends the licence

An unpaid fine leads to a suspension. The suspension lasts until the SAAQ learns that the fine is paid.
