Paying a CVOR ticket is a conviction, and the consequences are severe. Unlike a simple car ticket, a CVOR conviction adds points to your company's safety profile. Too many points trigger Ministry of Transportation (MTO) audits, interviews, and sanctions, which can include fleet limitations, plate seizures, or even a full suspension of your operating privileges.
For the driver, the conviction appears on your personal abstract, making you a high-risk employee and causing your personal insurance to skyrocket. This is why you must hire an experienced CVOR ticket lawyer Sudbury drivers recommend. The team at TicketZapper understands the complex Highway Traffic Act regulations for commercial vehicles. We fight to have the charges withdrawn entirely. If a withdrawal isn't possible, we negotiate with the prosecutor to reduce the charge, eliminate the CVOR points, and save your record. Don't let a logbook error or an overweight charge end your career.
