Suspension for Novice Violation(s)
Right after it expired I went and wrote my G1 and passed 100%. My girlfriend drove me around most of the time (It was in Dec so I wasn't able to book a test til early Jan)
Anyways, she wasnt feeling well and so I drove us to her house to get her Meds (Just allergy meds nothing serious) I got pulled over and ticketed for driving past Midnight with a G1. We switched and she drove home. (Dec 23)
I got my G2 on Jan 10, and *paid the ticket on Jan 17
*I paid it since I didnt think going to court would help (as she wasnt a full G class driver and the cop knew and didnt give me the other ticket)
Now Ive received a letter about my license is suspended as of Jan 29. I called the number to ask if it applies to my G2. (They actually sent my G2 license in the mail 2 days after as per the dates) and they said it didn't matter what license.
I have 2 questions now:
1) I had no idea about the escalating sanctions, can I appeal now that I paid the ticket?
2) I have a car, owned and insured by me. What will happen to my insurance during the suspension? Can my girlfriend drive my car? Ive read a ton on the dermit points/convictions affecting insurance but cant find out if this will (most of what I see is BAC suspensions with Novice drivers)
FYI the offence was:
Section 57.1(1) (G) of HTA pursuant to Setion 9(1) of O.Reg 640/94
Reason for suspension: Escalating Sanctions: Violation of Novice Driver Conditions
I cant find demerit points for any Escalating Sanctions offences
Thanks.
HTA OREG 340/94 sec 9
1) licence will be suspended for violating a novice condition
2) you shall be notified of the suspension date (which is effective Jan29)
4) the licence is suspended for a period of 30 days AFTER the surrender of the licence to the ministry

Because the offence date fell when you had a G1 licence, you were still in violation of novice conditions and the suspension still applies. What MTO told you is correct. I don't really think you have grounds for an appeal.davy wrote:1) I had no idea about the escalating sanctions, can I appeal now that I paid the ticket?

Your insurance is not valid during the suspension, unless your girlfriend is listed as one of the primary drivers.
