Ticket from 2006
 

My mom got a ticket in 2006 for not wearing a seatbelt. She never paid, doesn't drive, will never get a driver's license, and is only in Canada once a year to visit.

I started getting mail from ICBC saying that her account is overdue. If we never pay the ticket will this affect her in some way other than not being able to get a driver's license?

You committed an offence. Just pay up dude.
Just cause you're not a 'permanent' resident of the country, doesn't mean you're excused from the law :fulloffuck:



...and :derp:

If she tries to get a drivers license, it will come up and you will have to pay before they let you have one i believe.

Did you not read OP?

just saying lol

Asian much?

No, she is not excused from the law. But if the only consequence of not paying is that she won't be able to get a driver's license then there really is no incentive to pay. And that is not our fault but the fault of the people that come up with the laws.

If there were other consequences then we would pay ASAP.

the why are you even starting this thread? she has no intention of paying and clearly doesn't care.

so fuck off. ASAP.

I asked the question because I wanted to know if anything else could happen aside from her not being able to get a license. That's it. No reason for you to get upset. If you do not have information that I do not already know, kindly move on.

it's called google. you're apparently a law student. this thread is a fucking circle jerk of bullshit and i'm calling you out on it.

:Popcorn

Defence lawyer talking right there. Any excuse to avoid punishment.

So OP and OP's mother have no morals. OP will be a good defense lawyer!

OP, did your mom ever hold a BCDL? Was she the driver when she was ticketed, or the passenger? If she was the driver, was she holding a foreign DL?

I wonder if ICBC could technically summon a family member of your mom to pay up or the same penalty would apply to you, your dad, or any siblings in the household. But I guess that is a lot of resources and time just for a 100 something dollar ticket, which would have been 25 dollars less if paid within 30 days.

How about the consequence of her then continuing to believe there is no reason to wear or consequence of not using a seatbelt, and gets in a car accident next time she's here? Make her pay the fucking fine, and make her use a seatbelt so that the next accident I'm at there isn't a dumb fucking reason like not wearing a seatbelt for having a gruesome fatality there.

Thissssssss

bmw very safe la

to be honest, being a law student doesn't mean shit. i see students come in and out of court all day long who dont have a fucking clue what they're doing.

:concentrate:

i think it's comical OP is asking about a ticket from 8 years ago...esp from someone about to practice law

not buckling up only puts oneself at risk...not the general public
a gruesome scene is not a valid excuse to rant :toot:

people who don't wear seatbelts are only hurting themselves. probably will cause PTSD for a witness or another driver who sees them being propelled through the windshield, but it is the person not wearing the seatbelt that will be dead and/or crippled.

I thought this stuff eventually went onto property taxes??

wouldn't the statue of limitations apply with this ticket as well?

It might be their first time, give them a break. Its not easy and students will learn fast enough. You have to start from somewhere after all.

My mom learnt her lesson, she always buckles up now and we remind her to if she doesn't.

Apparently not.

Apparently not either.

No, te statute of limitations is for crimes that may have been committed that you weren't caught on ( or proven) but in this case she was ticketed, and just decided she's a horrible human being and didnt pay the ticket lolz

Until Canada adopt rules like in the States, where a Unpaid Speeding ticket could get you in Jail. Safest bet, just pay it off... and no more worries

Tell the cheap...lady... to pay her fucking tickets.
