Toronto resident James Strachan was stunned to learn, four years after the fact, that his driver's licence was suspended because he was late paying a speeding ticket. He said he doesn’t understand how he was able to renew his licence plate several times, purchase a new car and renew his insurance regularly without someone in a position of authority noticing that he didn’t have a driver’s licence. “Drivers are informed on their ticket that the driver’s licence can be suspended if no action is taken within a certain time frame (15 days),” Ernesaks said in an email to the Star. “If the ticket is not paid within the allocated time frame, the provincial court directs the Ministry of Transportation to suspend the driver’s licence. “Under this regime, individuals with defaulted fines that currently result in a licence suspension will face licence plate denials as well.”
