So what happened is I was working nights around 740am on my way home I was involved in a fender bender. I went to the cop and was informed that I had no insurance. The payment came out 3 days ago... so I thought I didn't realize that I was short a few bucks and it came back. I have had problems in the past paying shortly after being involved in an accident 2 months ago with my friend. I can't afford a lawyer so I attended a resolution meeting and my ticket was reduced to 400$ and failure to surrender because this is my first offence and it was only 3 days which I provided proof. Is this a good deal or do you think I can get it dropped completely?!

Re: Part 3 summons under the compulsory act help!
The difference between no insurance and failure to surrender insurance is pretty big. Minimum fine is $5,000. Your insurance surcharge will be 100% if they decide to keep you. Quite possible they tell you to go somewhere else. Failure to surrender is the equivalent of a normal speeding ticket or rolling a stop sign.

If I understand correctly, the facts are: - you did not pay your insurance premium on time or as scheduled - your insurance company decided to inform the insurance bureau of such non-payment and cancel or otherwise suspend your auto insurance (this may happen automatically) - the police officer had evidence of such cancellation/suspension - which means that you were operating a motor vehicle not under contract of automobile insurance. [CAIA 2(1)(a)] - you are guilty of this offence - if you are convicted of this offence it is a minimum 5k fine - unless you can convince the court of undue hardship (Good Luck). - such a conviction will not look good to a current or future insurer (higher premiums or refusal) - The crown has offered you a plea bargain to CAIA 3(1)(a) Fail to surrender insurance card. - As bend mentioned, the insurers do not consider such a conviction to be as serious as not having insurance. - Minimum 5k fine vs. known 400 fine Please use the information above to determine whether you are getting a good deal or not.
