{{Dial-A-Law BlurbREVIEWEDPLS | reviewer = Janet Mackinnon, ICBC |date= May 2018}} {{Dial-A-Law TOC|expanded = autoscars}}If you get a ticket for a driving offence, you’ll typically get '''points ''' on your driver's record. The more points you rack up, the more you’ll pay in insurance premiums.
==Understand your legal rights==
Points are added to your record if you plead guilty to a driving offence or if a court convicts you of the offence. If you pay a traffic ticket, you’re admitting you are guilty.
If you don’t agree with a ticket, you must fight (or dispute) it. You have 30 days from the date of the ticket to dispute it. If you don’t do so, the offence and points are automatically added to your driving record. See our information on [[Traffic Tickets (Script No. 194)|traffic tickets (no. 194)]] for more information on how to fight a traffic ticket.
===Driver penalty points can increase your insurance premiums===
