How many points before I lose my license in BC

As an impaired driving lawyer, I get a lot of calls from people who have received traffic tickets and are concerned about losing their license. In particular, they’re concerned about how many points will trigger a license suspension.

Unfortunately, there is no hard and fast answer to this question.

Although there are thresholds on how many points will trigger a driving prohibition, there is more that goes into determining whether or not you’ll receive that prohibition than just the number of points you accumulate.

The truth about excessive speed

The truth about excessive speed is that it is way more serious than one may think. Most people believe that because excessive speeding offences are only 3 points, so a conviction is not going to affect them as seriously as other offences.

But what they may not be aware of, and what is not marked down anywhere on the ticket, is that excessive speeding is considered to be a high-risk offence.

I’ve received a ton of feedback from members of the public, most of whom are increasingly concerned about the use of these administrative processes to strip away constitutional rights. But some people are also confused – genuinely – about why it would really matter if you did not have a lawyer in traffic court.

Here’s what I have to say about that.
