    No, red light camera tickets in British Columbia do not go on your driving record, and they do not add demerit points. These tickets are issued to the registered owner of the vehicle based on photographic evidence, not to a specific driver. Because the Motor Vehicle Act only applies driver-related consequences to personal infractions, and automated enforcement doesn’t identify a driver, these tickets are treated as owner liability. As a result, insurance companies do not consider red light camera violations when assessing premiums. However, failure to pay the ticket can result in refusal to renew your vehicle insurance or registration through ICBC. While the ticket won’t impact your driving history, ignoring it could cause administrative issues. The fine for a red light camera ticket in BC is typically $167, and although it won’t affect your record, it’s still a legal obligation to pay on time.
