So I go out and get an insurance policy, go to the MTO and get plates and walk out the door. The next day I call my insurance company and cancel my policy but still have a liability slip that say I have coverage until the end of the year. Later that day you pull me over and run my plate and can tell right then and there that I don't have insurance on my car?
I'm not trying to be a ****** or anything it's just that when I was a broker I'd get calls to verify insurance all the time. And in my current role I sometime have to call a PC to advise that a driver involved in an accident was uninsured at the time of the accident. Shouldn't that PC already know that?
This is something that I just found now. There is a quote from an OPP constable stating that he wishes that he had the capability of confirming valid insurance at the scene.
