Re: Fail to Surrender 3(1) ticket. Need clarification.

hwbear is right the onus is on the driver.(to have every document)
You said that the card was in a hard to get to place.
Did they only give you so much time?
My thought is that you should have as much time as you need to find the card?

I believe it's Timmins.

The problem is that he wasn't charged under a bylaw, but the HTA. Because of that whatever exemptions the City may have wouldn't apply.

The problem with incorrect (time/place/etc errors) is once you are arraigned they can be amended.

It is most likely covered under comprehensive.

Deductible might be waived since a criminal offense caused it.

Unless you admitted to using the car /no care of vehicle charges stick.

You won't be convicted to anything you did not admit to.

Re: Insurance Question

An Insurance company uses your history to base your charge.

If you start buying at 19 or 23 it is the same start.:ie like new!

If you don't want to pay through the nose "later" get apartment "insurance".

Or added to a good driver,s car.

In a nutshell you only get to be a nine star driver with them if you have paid for 9 or more years.

Simon is correct.

My thoughts:

Your insurance record starts from when you start paying for it, not later.(you will get a bit of a break for the years licensed but "minor").
What you need to do is:
Find a friend who is willing to let you be added to their policy as an occasional driver.
