What to do When You Are Caught with No Valid Driver's License


Driving with no valid driver's license or without insurance is a bigger risk than many people think. A valid driver’s license and proof of insurance might be simply a pieces of paper, but they are also the important legal documents than ensure every car on the road is being driven by a tested and financially responsible person who meets every provincial requirement for road safety. Hitting the road without these is illegal and a big risk for everyone.

Driver's License reinstatement requirements will be determined by the information available on your driving record at the time of your request. If it can be determined, the system will also show you the date you can become eligible for driver's license reinstatement.

·         Hearing Procedures

A hearing officer is assigned to hear your case and to summarize, in a written report, your testimony and your documents. You will not receive a decision the day of your hearing; it may take as long as 90 days for the report to be prepared and mailed to you, although most decisions arrive within about 4 to 8 weeks from the day of the hearing. If the decision is a denial, the report explains the reasons for the denial. The report will instruct you to resolve the issues that formed the basis of the denial.

·         Driver's License Reinstatement Procedures

If you have been placed under a driver's rights suspension by the court, here are some important tips for properly reinstating your license at the conclusion of the suspension:

a.       Be sure to pay your driver's license reinstatement fee either prior too or on the date your suspension expires. Failure to do so could result in a No Operator's License or Driving Under Suspension charge. Remember that any occupational driving privileges you received expire on the date you are permitted to reinstate your license.

b.      If you do not have the money to pay your entire driver's license reinstatement fee at once, you can set up a reinstatement fee payment plan with the court so that you can begin driving while making monthly payments toward your fee.

Lastly, If you are facing a driver's license reinstatement case, the best thing to do is to contact a local attorney who can advise you on the right course of action. Use the Internet to find the best legal resources to help you on your way.
