(HURON EAST, ON) – A traffic stop on Turnberry Street in Brussels may prove to be costly for a West Perth resident. On March 7, 2013 at 9:41 a.m. a Huron OPP officer stopped a blue Dodge sedan to check on the insurance status of the vehicle. The driver, who was also the owner of the vehicle, was unable to produce a valid insurance certificate. Further investigation revealed the insurance coverage on the vehicle had been terminated.
As a result, Gerald MCLEAN, 52, from West Perth has been charged with Owner Operate Motor Vehicle Without Insurance contrary to section 2 (1) (a) Compulsory Automobile Insurance Act. His motor vehicle was also towed from the scene. He has a court appearance scheduled for Provincial Court – Goderich on May 7, 2013.
If convicted of this offence, the penalty carries a minimum fine of $5,000 and a possible driver’s licence suspension of one year.
