No Insurance
About This Charge
Driving without valid insurance, under section 2 of the Compulsory Automobile Insurance Act, carries some of the steepest mandatory minimums in Ontario traffic law. A first conviction runs from $5,000 to $25,000, with a possible licence suspension and vehicle impoundment, and subsequent convictions roughly double those figures. The charge is not automatic. The Crown has to prove the vehicle was driven knowingly without insurance, and questions of coverage, paperwork, and timing all matter. R.S. Walia looks hard at whether a case actually meets that bar before a client accepts a penalty of this size.
Potential Consequences
- First offence: $5,000–$25,000 mandatory minimum fine
- Subsequent offences: $10,000–$50,000 fine
- 1-year licence suspension
- Vehicle impoundment
Why Representation Matters
A traffic charge is not proven simply because it was laid. The prosecution has to satisfy a number of technical requirements — accurate officer notes, properly calibrated equipment, a stop conducted the way the law requires. Where one of those is missing or flawed, a charge can be reduced or dropped. Mr. Walia goes through the disclosure on every file precisely to find that ground before the case is ever called.
