I have been caught driving without insurance, and also without a validated permit. I have a month until my court date, and will deal with that when the time comes. After the officer explained to me what was going to happen, he took my license plates. My question is am I able to go the the Ministry of Transportation and get new plates? I now have valid insurance, but what sort of situation am I facing when dealing with the MTO. I bought this car used two years ago, will I need to have it re certified, and have an emission test done, the car is in my name but on my ownership it has the confiscated plate number - will that be a problem? Thank you for any input.

Re: No Insurance, no permit

First of all never lie to police or prosecutor... so don't say anything that is not true. Sometimes (usually most of the time in my opinion) it is better to say nothing at all. Yes there is usually some kind of consideration that you got everything sorted out right away. However the no insurance thing is a big one and they tend to not let people off very easy.

Relying on getting things sorted out the next day is like closing the barn door after the horse got out...the courts won't buy that for a minute.
