Well it being in English is probably a good start.

The RCMP's inability to verify the validity of the licence does not automatically place the resident in contravention of the law.
The RCMP knew this was an issue and by all accounts didn't appear interested in finding a resolution. They were happy to ticket, tow and drag people through the court system.

So, if someone wrote you a cheque, in a foreign language that you could not read, on a bank that had a history of not verifying the numerous bad cheques written on their accounts, I'm sure you would willingly accept the cheque for your car you were selling them wouldn't you? Need anyone to hold your hand?  | |

I suppose you feel that the immediate impounds for excessive speed are only a charge and not a conviction too?

Like I said before, of all the drivers I have stopped that had a Chinese DL, I think I can recall ONE that had the proper documents/translation papers that would have allowed them to be driving in BC under ICBC's guidelines..... So these drivers are as "innocent" as you may believe.

Thank you,
