The Compulsory Automobile Insurance Act defines Driving without Insurance as:
2. (1) Subject to the regulations, no owner or lessee of a motor vehicle shall,
(a) operate the motor vehicle; or
(b) cause or permit the motor vehicle to be operated,
on a highway unless the motor vehicle is insured under a contract of automobile insurance. 1994, c. 11, s. 383; 1996, c. 21, s. 50 (3).
The penalties of Driving without Insurance carry heavy fines. For a first conviction, you could face a minimum of $5,000 and a maximum of $25,000. Upon a second conviction, you could face a minimum fine of $10,000 or a maximum of $50,000. You may also face a one year’s suspension of your Driver’s Licence.
Driving without insurance is a major offence in the eyes of insurance companies. A conviction could limit your ability to get affordable insurance in the future.
