You hold an Ontario licence and are convicted of a driving offence on a road trip. Besides other Canadian provinces, which two places outside Canada will put demerit points on your Ontario record?

Correct answer: D. New York and Michigan
New York State and Michigan. Ontario's demerit points page says that for offences committed in other Canadian provinces, New York or Michigan, "demerit points will be added to your driving record just as if the offence happened in Ontario." Those two states border Ontario and have long-standing reciprocal reporting arrangements with it, so a ticket picked up on a weekend across the river follows you home. Everywhere else, the points do not transfer — though that is not the same as the conviction disappearing, and it says nothing about what the other jurisdiction itself may do to your right to drive there.
