it's no use if you change your address, it does not happen that quickly. try and find out if you can pick up the letter in person. like call in or smth, ask where you can pick up the letter.


or come clean to your parents. it might not be the end of the world

No the letter is generated is some department, most likely in Kingston as that is where my replacement DL came from It is not generated at the local MTO office. You cannot pick it up and it will be mailed that is how it works in Ontario. That is how the notice of suspension is served.


The letter will pretty much look like any letter and will have a Ontario gov't writing on it.


If your parents open your mail that is between you and your parents and nothing that this site can help with.


And if you want to be taken seriously turn on the spell check and use it. Your last post had so many grammatical and spelling mistakes you look ignorant.

You're right; you have to stop stressing. I all likelihood, you're over 21. (Otherwise, I imagine, the charge would have been having a BAC above 0.) You're a man or woman who made a mistake. This mistake is not the end of the world; it's not good but it could have been so much worse. Of course you don't want your parents to find out. But if they do, you're all adults and adults make mistakes and deal with mistakes. Most parents would recognize that you have to take your lumps from Ontario's justice system and not from them. Maybe now would be the time to assert your adult right to privacy with respect to your mail.
