The West Shore RCMP has experienced a dramatic rise in uninsured vehicles on the roadway.
In July 2023, the West Shore RCMP Traffic Unit issued 65 tickets for driving without vehicle insurance as compared to 21 tickets for driving without vehicle insurance in July 2022.
Throughout the past year we have seen a steady increase in the number of vehicles on the roadway that do not have vehicle insurance. Police believe this is partly due to licence plate validation decals no longer being required as of May 2022.
Don’t let this be you:
Our police vehicles are equipped with Automated Licence Plate Recognition technology. ALPR has the ability to scan licence plates while officers are patrolling and it alerts them to a vehicle that is violating driving laws within its vicinity, no insurance is among these alerts said Cpl. Mike Jacobson, West Shore RCMP Traffic Enforcement unit.

If you are caught with no vehicle insurance, you can be fined $598 and your vehicle may be towed. Even worse than receiving a ticket for no insurance, is being involved in a collision when you do not have insurance. This could result in you being sued and held liable for damages.
We strongly encourage motorists to ensure they have the proper insurance on their vehicles. You can further protect yourself by making sure you have uninsured motorist coverage.
