Speeding Offences in Manitoba

Speeding and Crashes:
- Speeding is a major factor in traffic crashes.
- Speeding involves driving above the speed limit or too fast for conditions like weather, road, or traffic.
- Higher speeds increase stopping distance, reduce vehicle control, and intensify crash impacts.
Consequences in Manitoba:
- On average, 23 deaths annually in Manitoba are attributed to speeding.
Purpose of Speed Limits:
- Speed limits aim to minimize risks and are based on traffic flow, pedestrian presence, and road design.
- These limits assume ideal road and weather conditions.
- In adverse conditions, such as ice or fog, the standard speed limit may be excessively high.
Special Speed Limit Zones:
- School zones have significantly lower speed limits than typical areas.
- Construction zones maintain reduced speed limits, regardless of worker presence, with fines for speeding doubled compared to regular tickets.

Penalties & Fines

Speeding endangers all road users and can significantly impact your finances, with Manitoba having some of the highest speeding fines in North America.
Speeding fines start at $181.50 for exceeding the limit by 10 km/h.
Tickets affect your Driver Safety Rating (DSR), influencing the cost of your license and insurance premiums; however, photo enforcement camera tickets do not impact insurance or license costs.
Fines double in construction zones, regardless of worker presence.
Speeding that is deemed racing could lead to vehicle impoundment for seven days, a license suspension up to one year, and fines up to $5,000.
In Winnipeg, speed limits are 30 km/h in school zones from September to June, Monday to Friday, 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
Outside Winnipeg, if no specific timeframe is indicated on signs, the reduced speed limit applies at all times.
Speeding in school zones can result in a minimum $200 fine and a two-level decrease in DSR.
It is illegal to overtake another moving vehicle in a school zone 15 minutes before or after school hours, or when children are present on or near school grounds.

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.

APPEAL BOARD HEARINGS

You can apply for an appeal to the Licence Suspension Appeal Board (LSAB) to determine if you qualify for a conditional driver's licence. There are specific requirements to appeal to the LSAB depending on what enforcement authority took action against your driver's licence.
