Did you know that under the VIP, it’s the responsibility of all vehicle owners to ensure that every person driving their vehicle has a valid driver’s licence?
These tough measures are aimed at suspended drivers, impaired drivers and those caught racing or stunt driving. When applicable, the person caught driving will have the vehicle he/she is driving impounded. Regardless of whether the vehicle is borrowed from a friend or family member, used for employment, rented or leased. This program applies to all motor vehicle types including passenger vehicles, motorcycles, trucks and buses.
As the vehicle owner, you will have to pay the towing and storage fees at the end of the impoundment in order to get your vehicle back. These costs vary by towing company.
For more information on the different kinds of impoundments and potential consequences, please see http://www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/safety/vip/responsibility.shtml
