🔗 Show Cause Hearings in Manitoba
Show Cause Hearing Overview: If your licence is at risk due to driving record issues, contact Driver Fitness to begin the hearing process. Hearings can be done in person or by written submission. Keep in mind that personal hardship or the need to keep your licence is not considered during this process.
In-Person or Virtual Hearings: Hearings are conducted with a reviewing officer, where you can explain why your licence should not be suspended, strictly based on your driving history.
Outcomes: The hearing may result in no action, a recommendation to complete a driver safety course or examination, or a suspension of your licence.
How JusticeJolt Can Help: If you're called in by Manitoba Public Insurance because of past convictions or collisions, JusticeJolt assists you in preparing for your hearing. We help defend your record and challenge the case before any final licence suspension decision is made.

Manitoba DSR (Driver Safety Rating) Scale
The Manitoba Driver Safety Rating (DSR) scale is a system used by Manitoba Public Insurance to rate drivers based on their driving behavior. It’s designed to reward safe drivers and penalize those who engage in risky or illegal driving practices. Here’s how it generally works:
Points System: The DSR scale ranges from -20 to +15. Drivers accumulate or lose points based on their driving record.
Rewards: Drivers with positive points on the DSR scale may receive discounts on their vehicle insurance premiums.
Penalties: Conversely, drivers with negative points may face higher insurance costs.
Impact of Traffic Violations: Traffic violations, including the use of hand-held devices while driving, can result in points being deducted from a driver’s DSR.
Annual Review: Each year, Manitoba Public Insurance reviews the driving records of all drivers and adjusts their DSR points accordingly.
The purpose of the DSR scale is to incentivize drivers to adhere to traffic laws and safe driving practices, thereby reducing the incidence of accidents and improving road safety overall.
- Consequences of Driving While Suspended:
- Imprisonment: Up to five years.
- Fines: Up to $2,000.
- Licence Prohibition: Non-appealable under the Criminal Code; no option for a conditional licence.
- Lifetime Suspension: Possible under The Highway Traffic Act.
- Additional Costs: Increased driver’s licence premiums upon reinstatement.
