Suspended G1 driver pulled over in uninsured vehicle on Hwy. 417: OPP
OPP say the driver of this pickup truck had a suspended G1 licence and the vehicle was not insured. Aug. 12, 2025. (OPP/X) Ontario Provincial Police say a G1 driver whose licence was suspended was pulled over on Highway 417 Tuesday evening. Police said in a post on X that an officer's automatic licence plate reader caught an expired plate permit on a white pickup truck just before 7 p.m. The registered owner of the vehicle was in the passenger seat and was also a G1 driver, police said. The vehicle was also uninsured. G1 drivers must always have an accompanying driver with a valid G-class licence and at least four years of driving experience in the passenger seat. G1 drivers are also not permitted to drive on 400-series highways in Ontario with a posted speed limit over 80 km/h unless accompanied by a driving instructor. As a result, the driver of the vehicle is facing several charges and a minimum $2,000 fine for driving while suspended. The owner of the vehicle was charged with permitting someone to operate a vehicle without insurance and now faces a minimum $5,000 fine. The vehicle has been impounded for seven days.
