Expired Plates and Insurance
Well your brother is facing a large fine. The No Insurance conviction will cost him a minimum $5000 fine. He should be prepared to show the court his financial situation and be able to prove that if the court imposes the $5000 fine it will cause undue hardship on him and/or his family. As far as the expired plates go he will face a much smaller fine, he should ask for the $50-$60 range. As always, when facing charges of such a serious nature, one should consider speaking to a professional about the different options available.

How was he going to get a plate permit without proof of insurance?

Re: Expired Plates and Insurance
Thank you for your response. My brother drives two different cars, one for summer driving and one for winter. Just wondering if this could effect the amount of the fine. His summer insurance had expired around Oct 07 and because of being unemployed did not insure his winter car. When he decided he needed the car to go to job interviews that is when he was going to get insurace. The car needed to go to Drive Clean to get the plate permit. Could this impact on the fine. Thanks

Re: Plate permit expired and driving
After speaking with him, he said he was headed to a drive clean, and then was going to renew his insurance and then get the permit. David

People are Driving Faster
Hey guys i just wanted to know what speeds you see others do on the roads on a regular basis. As we all know no body drives 100 km. It seems they only hit that speed twice once on the way up and once on the way down.

Ontario reintroducing Photo Radar/Speed Cameras?
Anyone know any more information? Apparently kathleen wynne mentioned trying to introduce legislation after more than 20 years of no speed cameras. My guess is that it wont happen, since they've tried before many times to bring it back after it was abolished.

going 50 over the limit
If the speed limit is 50, and you do 100+, not only do you get 6 points. Your car gets impounded for a week, and your license suspended for 7 days, along with a hefty fine of at least $2000. The penalty is actually the same as for racing. The law came in effect on October 1, 2007. Remember -…
