CVOR (Commercial Vehicle Operator’s Registration) is Ontario’s system for monitoring commercial truck and bus operators to ensure road safety. Even a single CVOR ticket can significantly impact a business, raising violation rates and insurance costs. Having an experienced commercial vehicle lawyer on your side, like the team at Coopers, can be invaluable in managing these issues.
​
What Happens with a CVOR Conviction
 
CVOR tickets impact both drivers and their companies, affecting safety ratings and overall business risk.

• Consequences of CVOR Tickets

  • Increased insurance rates for drivers and companies

  • Lower safety ratings for companies, impacting Ministry of Transportation fees

  • Challenges in finding driving jobs for individual drivers

 
What Are CVOR Tickets?

Under the CVOR system, the Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO) assigns safety ratings based on:

• Collisions

• Inspection results

• Traffic and criminal convictions

• Facility audit outcomes
   

Tickets may be issued for incidents like accidents, speeding, inspection failures, and facility audits.

Penalties for CVOR Violations
CVOR tickets accumulate points, leading to escalating consequences:

• Warning Letters: Indicating risk of further penalties

• Early Interventions: Audits, logbook reviews, and inspections

• Failed Audits: May result in conditional safety ratings or charges

• Show-Cause Hearings: Severe cases may lead to fleet limitations or suspension of operating privileges
