Consequences of Conviction
For a first time offence, a conviction comes with 3 demerit points and a 3-day suspension of your licence. If you are a novice driver (G1/G2), you will get a 30 day suspension instead of the 3. It also comes with a fine between $500 and $1,000.
For a second offence, a conviction comes with 6 demerit points and a 7-day suspension of your licence. If you are a notice driver, this means a 90 day suspension. It also comes with a fine between $500 and $2,000.
For a third or more offence, a conviction comes with 6 demerit points and a 30-day suspension of your licence. If you are a novice driver, unfortunately, that means you will have to start the licencing process all over again. It also comes with a fine between $500 and $3,000.

Insurance impact
Many insurance companies consider drive handheld communication device tickets to be a major traffic offence, which can have a significant impact on our insurance for up to 3 years– and that is just the conviction. Handheld convictions also come with a licence suspension, which can also be interpreted by your insurance company as a secondary conviction.
