Getting ticket for Parking uninsured vehicle on city street

Long story short car had week permit w/ NO plates on and was ticketed along w/ the red sticky placed on driver window. It was like a day after expiration m, Bad timing. Is getting a ticket w/ plates on and insured the same thing as getting ticketed with no plates on and expired temp insurance? It's a $150 fine. I'm wondering if i have any chances of not having to pay It. Doesn't seem completely fair. Cause I'm getting rid of the vehicle quickly also. I'm just asking, I don't need to hear "just pay the ticket" or something. Thanks.

Not sure, let's think this through. Scenario 1 - you had insurance, it ran out, you didn't have any insurance, you got a ticket. Scenario 2 - you had insurance, it ran out, you didn't have any insurance, you got a ticket. Seems pretty similar to me...

You didn't have insurance, you got a ticket for not having insurance. How could it be any more COMPLETELY fair than that?

These threads these days...

It the next day after They ticketed. Was hoping some sort of exception could have been offered. Nope they said. My fucking birthday this happened on also lol .

Who cares. The city rips us off fucking daily man. Why not try getting out of ticket? Like you guys wouldn't at least run some thoughts past yourself about getting out of it.

What sort of exception would there be? Instead of a ticket they buy you a birthday cake instead? You parked on a city street with no insurance, how do you get out of that

just pay the ticket, dumbass

They did give you a break. The ticket for having your car on the road system uninsured is actually ranges from no less than $2500 to $5000 and can even extend to jail time.

So I don't know what they ticketed you for, but just be thankful it's only $150 and pay it.

That must be new, operating it without insurance is $598 + a tow.

Hmm you appear to be right, seems I stumbled on an articl from AB.

Wow that's cheap here in BC. They should jack that up. AB, NL, ONT, are all above $2000.

It's cheap if you don't crash. Get in an accident and you're screwed.

The difference is operating vs. being parked.

(b) without displaying on it, in the manner prescribed, the number plates issued or designated by the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia or otherwise prescribed to be displayed on that motor vehicle or trailer for the current licence year of that motor vehicle or trailer, or
(c) that has displayed on it a number plate other than those issued or designated by the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia or otherwise prescribed to be displayed on that motor vehicle or trailer for the current licence year of that motor vehicle or trailer.
(2) Every peace officer, officer or constable of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police or the police department of a municipality or inspector authorized under section 217 (1) (a) to inspect motor vehicles may seize a number plate that he or she finds detached from a motor vehicle or trailer, or he or she finds displayed on a motor vehicle or trailer other than the one for which it was issued, or that is required under this Act or by a direction of the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia to be surrendered, and may hold it until the receipt of instructions from the corporation as to its disposal.

Doesn't matter if you are parked, operating, etc. If a cop had shown up, this would have been a $598 ticket. He's lucky it was only bylaw that showed up.

Well thank for the replies, even negative ones. It's all good. Just payed the ticket too.

Both offences but the fine is different.

I'm pretty sure it's not the same as being served cold pancakes at iHop.

So let's say you have a car in storage, no plates, do you have to keep it in your garage or on your own driveway? Not on the road?

Some cities only only allow a certain number of uninsured vehicles on the property (assuming detached house). It should be covered under house insurance if it doesn't have storage insurance through ICBC.

Doesn't matter if you win by an inch or a mile, winnings winning.
