FIGHT YOUR CELL PHONE TICKET. KEEP YOUR INSURANCE RATE.
Three demerits and a $390 fine, for a charge that usually rests on what one officer believed they saw through a car window at speed. We have fought hundreds of these since the law came in, and our team is made up of the former police officers, sheriffs and prosecutors who used to write and argue them. We know how thin the evidence often is. Free consultation. You have a limited window to dispute, and the deadline is printed on your ticket.
THE FINE IS THE CHEAP PART.
Most drivers pay the $390 and move on, assuming it is a one-off cost. It is not.
A distracted driving conviction goes on your driving record, and your insurer sees it at renewal. Insurers rate on convictions, not demerits, and they treat distracted driving harshly. A single conviction can move you into a higher bracket for three years, and on a typical Alberta policy that costs several times what the ticket did.
Paying is pleading guilty. Once it is paid the conviction is registered and there is nothing left to fight.

HOW THE TRAFFIC TICKET GURU HELPS.
1. Send us your ticket
A photo is enough. Free, and no obligation. You can submit it online through our website form.
2. We tell you where you stand
What the charge means, what it’ll do to your insurance, and whether it’s worth fighting. If it isn’t, we’ll say so.
3. We get the evidence and test it
We order the disclosure and test it the way the people who wrote it would. Officer notes, calibration records, operating procedure, the wording of the charge itself. Someone here used to do that job.
4. We handle it
In most cases you never see the inside of a courtroom. We appear on your behalf and keep you informed at every step.
5. Backed by our guarantee*
If we cannot improve the outcome of your ticket, we pay the fine up to the value of our fee, or credit you toward a future one. Our guarantee covers most tickets. The exceptions are listed below.
Traffic Ticket QUESTIONS.
Quick answers to the questions we hear most about traffic tickets in Alberta
Send Us Your Ticket →Speeding and photo radar, cell phone and distracted driving, careless driving, red light and stop sign, commercial vehicle and CVIP, uninsured driving, driving while suspended or unauthorised, stunting and street racing, fail to remain and hit and run, and Immediate Roadside Sanctions. If your ticket is not on that list, call anyway. It is a short conversation and it costs nothing.
Paying the ticket is pleading guilty, and the conviction sits on your abstract where insurers can see it for about three years. For a lot of drivers the premium increase costs more than the fine.
The deadline is printed on your ticket. Miss the due date and your options narrow sharply.
In most cases, no. We appear on your behalf. We’ll tell you upfront if your matter is one of the ones where your attendance is required.
Yes, and more than most people expect. Insurers base rate increase on the number of convictions, not demerits. One conviction can move you into a higher category at renewal, and this penalty can last up to three years, and multiple convictions can reduce how many insurers will insure you at all.

It depends on court scheduling and how quickly the prosecution releases disclosure, so anywhere from a few weeks to a few months. We manage every step and keep you updated. You do not need to chase us.
In most cases yes, because paying registers the conviction. Call us anyway before you assume nothing can be done, because there are narrow exceptions and the consultation costs nothing.
