What This Provision Covers

This concerns surrendering a licence suspended under the Compulsory Automobile Insurance Act when police require it under section 2(5). It is not a general driving-while-suspended charge.

Fine Information

Set fine as listed
$25.00
Fixed set fine
$25.00
Standard surcharge
$10.00
Standard service costs
$5.00
Calculated standard total
$40.00

A set fine is not the same as a court sentencing range. Standard totals include the surcharge and $5 service costs where a fixed set fine is listed. Court penalties and extra costs may differ.

No-set-fine entries and variable formulas remain uncalculated. A blank amount does not mean there is no penalty.

No Insurance or No Proof of Insurance?

These are different allegations. A driver may have valid coverage but fail to carry or surrender the required insurance card. Operating without insurance concerns the absence of required coverage.

Check the Act and section printed on your ticket or summons. The facts, insurance policy and any applicable exemptions matter.

Statutory Penalties for This Provision

Section 2(6) provides a statutory maximum fine of $200. The court schedule lists a $25 set fine for this allegation. The set fine and statutory maximum are different amounts.

Statutory fine amounts exclude applicable surcharges and costs. The proceeding, exemptions and any statutory relief require assessment.

Demerit Points

Unassigned — not zero

Not assigned in this database; do not infer zero or apply HTA point matches to a different Act. A general provision match does not settle the result for a particular licence or conviction.

Insurance Consequences

Insurance consequences depend on the particular conviction, the policy and the insurer. An unassigned point value does not establish that a conviction has no insurance effect.
