Understanding Driving Without a Licence

In Ontario, it's illegal to drive a vehicle without a valid licence of the appropriate class. Whether you’ve never held a licence, let it expire, or simply forgot it at home, being caught driving without one can lead to serious consequences.

JusticeJolt offers practical legal defence for drivers facing charges under Section 32 of the Highway Traffic Act. If you've been charged, we can help protect your record and avoid unnecessary penalties.

Common Reasons People Are Charged

  • Never applied for a driver’s licence
  • Licence expired and not renewed
  • Suspended or revoked licence
  • Forgot to carry valid physical licence while driving
Even if you have a valid licence, failure to present it at the time of the stop may result in a charge. You may need to show proof in court to have it withdrawn.

What Happens If You're Convicted?

A conviction stays on your driving record for three years. Depending on the situation, you may also face fines, demerit points, and increased insurance premiums. In some cases, there may even be a risk of jail time.

Our goal is to reduce the severity of the outcome or eliminate the charge completely where possible.

How JUSTICEJOLT Can Defend You

Our legal team will assess your case and guide you through every step of the process. We’ll work to:

  • Verify licence status and technical details of the charge
  • Challenge evidence or improper procedures
  • Negotiate to have charges withdrawn or reduced
  • Appear in court on your behalf when possible

Driving Without a Licence: FAQs

Is driving without a licence a criminal offence?
No, it’s considered a provincial offence under the Ontario Highway Traffic Act. However, it can result in fines, insurance impacts, and even jail in some cases.
What if I simply forgot my licence at home?
If you have a valid licence but weren’t carrying it, you may still be charged. You’ll need to prove your licence was valid at the time of the stop—ideally before or during court.
Can I still be charged if my licence just expired?
Yes. Even if it expired recently, driving with an expired licence is still illegal. The court may consider how long it’s been expired when determining penalties.
Will this affect my insurance rates?
Yes. A conviction can increase your insurance premiums significantly, especially if it’s not your first offence or your licence was expired/suspended.
What can JUSTICEJOLT do to help me?
We examine the charge details, officer evidence, and court procedure to negotiate a withdrawal or reduction of the charge. We also represent you in court when possible.
What if I’ve never had a licence at all?
You can still be charged and penalized. If you plan to apply for a licence in the future, a conviction may impact your eligibility or insurance rating.
How long will the charge stay on my record?
A conviction for driving without a licence typically remains on your driving abstract for three years and may affect your ability to get affordable insurance.
