POINTTS™ Traffic Tickets Paralegals In Manitoba

The DSR scale shows how well you drive, and good driving moves you up the scale which means you can save money on your car insurance – up to 40% on your vehicle premiums and up to $30 on your driver’s license premiums.

On the other hand, bad driving such as causing accidents or getting certain types of tickets can move you down the scale, making your insurance more expensive.

The highest risk drivers might have to pay $3,000 for their driver’s license and not save anything on their vehicle insurance.

Effective April 1, 2023, the DSR scale will  have Level 17. Discounts on vehicle premiums will also be increased for drivers at levels +3 to +16.
