By Dan Joffe, lawyer at NextLaw (LSO #37145V) · Published October 13, 2026 · Last updated October 13, 2026 · Ontario, Canada Short answer: Speeding ticket in London, Ontario? Fighting it here now takes longer than in most of the province. According to NextLaw Analysis of Ontario Court of Justice data, a ticket that goes to a trial date in London now takes about 201 days, on average, to resolve, against 125 across Ontario (April 2025 to March 2026; averages for all ticket offences, not speeding alone). In 2019, London was slightly faster than the province: 170 days against 176. Ontario sped up. London slowed down. And when the trial date comes, it's usually a full trial: since 2023, 57% of London speeding charges reaching a trial date were tried, against 10% across Ontario. The data can't tell you what happens to your insurance, but it shows what fighting a ticket in London looks like. https://youtu.be/eU-Sxy7StcA Speeding ticket London: slower court while Ontario sped up Across...

Here's how long fighting it takes, and what the trial date brings. According to NextLaw Analysis of Ontario Court of Justice data, fighting a speeding ticket in Kitchener means about five months, on average, to a trial date: 156 days in the latest year, April 2025 to March 2026, against 125 across Ontario (averages for all ticket offences, not speeding alone). Kitchener, Waterloo and Cambridge tickets all go to one court, the Waterloo Region Provincial Offences Court in Kitchener. And the trial date there is often a real hearing: since 2023, about a quarter of the speeding charges that reached one went to a full trial, against 10% across Ontario. The data can't tell you what happens to your insurance, but it shows what fighting a ticket here looks like. https://youtu.be/oEu4R6spF6U Speeding ticket Kitchener: abo...
By Dan Joffe, lawyer at NextLaw (LSO #37145V) · Published October 9, 2026 · Last updated October 9, 2026 · Ontario, Canada Short answer: Hiring a traffic ticket lawyer in Mississauga? Expect a negotiation, not a trial. According to NextLaw Analysis of Ontario Court of Justice data, since 2023 only 1 in 20 Mississauga speeding charges that reached a trial date was actually tried: 5%, against 10% across Ontario. The rest ended that day without a trial. So what a traffic ticket lawyer in Mississauga does for you happens around that date: the evidence before it, and the negotiation on it.

By Dan Joffe, lawyer at NextLaw (LSO #37145V) · Published October 8, 2026 · Last updated October 8, 2026 · Ontario, Canada Short answer: Traffic ticket lawyer in Scarborough, Ontario? The court data points to one costly, avoidable mistake: missing the trial date. Scarborough speeding tickets are heard at the Toronto court. According to NextLaw Analysis of Ontario Court of Justice data, since 2023 about 1 in 4 speeding charges that reached a trial date there ended in a conviction because no one appeared: 25%, against 21% across Ontario.
