Not only does driving without a valid driver’s licence come with a hefty fine of $260, 2 it can also void your insurance coverage. This happens more often than you might think-OTIP recently discovered that numerous members were not aware they were driving without a valid driver’s licence. You could receive a notice and then forget about it, forget to change your address and not receive your notice, or the notice could get lost in the mail, and as a result you could end up driving with an expired driver’s licence.
Although ServiceOntario has gone through measures to ensure this doesn’t happen again, it’s not ideal to rely solely on these notices. This example shows just how reliant Ontarians are on their licence renewal notices to remember that their expiry date is approaching.
Ontario driving license renewal drivers#
Although 50,000 of those drivers still remembered to renew their licence, the other half didn’t and required an urgent notice to renew their licences as soon as possible once ServiceOntario discovered the error. In 2014, a system error resulted in 100,000 Ontario drivers not receiving their driver’s licence renewal notice. But what happens if the renewal notice never comes? Don’t get caught without a valid driver’s licence and risk getting fined and ticketed! Many Ontarians rely on the automated notices from ServiceOntario to remind them to get their driver’s licence and licence plate stickers renewed.
