Communiqué

As you may already know, since 2008 the Highway Safety Code forbids the use of hand-held telephone devices while operating a road vehicle. Non-compliance with this rule is subject to a maximum fine of one hundred dollars (100$) plus added fees, as well as the addition of three (3) demerit points to your driving record. That being said, the use of a headset or a Bluetooth type device is not prohibited, even if you are holding the said device in your hand while driving. The Superior Court in a recent judgment (July 23, 2013) confirmed that such an accessory cannot and should not be considered as a device whose use is prohibited under the Highway Safety Code if held in a driver’s hand. Such a prohibition does not fulfill the necessary conditions set forth in the Code in order to prove the commission of that offence. Therefore, if you receive a statement of offence for having held such a telephone accessory while operating your motor vehicle, keep in mind that we can help you contest your ticket, and thus avoid the loss of demerit points to your driving record.
