|Does your ticket include demerit points, of which enough can get you |forcibly retrained or legally prevented from cycling? It's my understanding (and I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong :-) ) that here in Ontario, any points violation of the HTA with any vehicle, including bicycles, will result in a loss of demerit points from your driver's license. So bad cycling can cause me to lose my privilege to drive, increase my insurance rates, etc. I have heard of a friend of a friend (I know, heresay) who lost points. I don't know about this part, but I suspect simply saying you don't have a license or ID would be a good idea, since I imagine the police are allowed to go to reasonable lengths to determine your identity if you've committed a violation.
