Twillingate RCMP apprehended a 60-year-old male from Summerford on July 12, 2025, after spotting him driving with a suspended licence in the area of Bayview. The man was pulled over and issued a ticket for the violation. Additionally, his vehicle was seized and impounded in accordance with provincial laws.
The RCMP patrol had recognized the driver as a known suspended driver and took immediate action to ensure road safety and enforce the rules of the road. Driving with a suspended licence is a serious offence that can lead to severe consequences, including fines and further suspension periods.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) encourages the public to report any instances of drivers operating vehicles without a valid licence, registration, or insurance to their local detachment. This information helps officers to maintain safety on the roads and reduce the potential for accidents involving uninsured drivers.
Consequences of Driving Without Insurance:
- Fines and penalties
- Vehicle seizure
- Increased insurance rates
- Legal responsibility for all damages or injuries caused in the event of a collision
How to Report:
If you witness a driver who you suspect may be operating a vehicle without proper documentation, you can confidentially report the information to your nearest RCMP detachment. This vigilance is essential for the safety of all road users.
Reminder:
It is the responsibility of all drivers to maintain valid documentation, including a driver's license, vehicle registration, and insurance, at all times. Driving without these essentials can lead to significant legal and financial repercussions, as well as pose a risk to public safety.
