Why should I contest?

  • The meaning of the law: Alfredo Munoz, ex-sergeant with the Service de Police de la Ville de Montréal, as well as the founder and president of SOS Ticket, presents why you should contest your tickets.
  • Only a judge – or you – can find you guilty. A police officer only files a statement of offence that offers his point of view of the event. It’s your right to present yourself in front of a judge and present your version of the facts.
  • The price you pay when you get a ticket is more than monetary: it has an impact on your driving license, your insurance, your life! Did you know that the cost of your driving license and insurance premiums are directly related to your driving record?

The meaning of the law

Only a judge – or you – can find you guilty.

SOS Ticket does not condone dangerous driving. That being said, the police officer who decided that you should pay hundreds of dollars and get demerit points is only offering his own opinion. Indeed, with his statement of offence, a police officer merely offers his own version of the facts. Only a judge can take into account your version and, as such, only a judge is in a position to decide whether your ticket is justified or not.

Not only is it possible to contest a ticket, it’s your right. With SOS Ticket, you can easily contest any ticket you receive in Quebec. After 30 000 files and 70 000 saved demerit points, the SOS Ticket team has proven itself and can offer you the best of services, and this across the province.

The price you pay when you get a ticket is more than monetary: it has an impact on your driving license, your insurance, your life!

Every time you get demerit points, your driving license and your insurance premiums take a hit. Indeed, your driving record and your demerit points have a direct impact on the cost of your driving license and of your insurance premiums.

On the other hand, SOS Ticket has managed to save its clients 70 000 demerit points over the last five years. In 94 % of its cases, the SOS Ticket team managed to reduce the number of points originally fined by the police officer.

When you contest with SOS Ticket, you are not leaving your fate to chance. Remember: it’s your right to contest!
