Auto insurance is a contract that protects drivers against financial loss in the event of an accident or theft, and it is illegal to drive without it in Canada, incurring fines and penalties for non-compliance. Uninsured drivers can face significant financial consequences, including lawsuits for damages and medical expenses, as well as increased future insurance costs. Ensuring proper coverage is essential, and seeking advice from licensed professionals is recommended.

3. INTRODUCTION
Auto insurance is a contract
between you and the insurance
company that protects you against
financial loss in the event of an
accident or theft. In exchange for
you paying a premium, the
insurance company agrees to pay
your losses as outlined in your policy.

4. Auto Insurance
01
There are rules to prevent drivers from
operating a vehicle without insurance.
The Motor Vehicles Registry will not issue
license plates for your vehicle until you
can prove that you have valid insurance
on it. If you purchase a new vehicle, you
can transfer your plates to the new
vehicle, but you will require a new
insurance policy for it

5. It’s illegal to drive on any public road in
Canada if you do not have auto insurance
for your vehicle. Other than that, there are
few more reasons.
The Need For Auto Insurance

6. ● Payment of Fine
Driving a vehicle that is not
insured will net you a fine of no
less than $2,500 for the first
offence, and if you are charged a
second time within one year,
you will receive a mandatory jail
sentence of at least 30 days and
possibly up to six months.

7. ● Paying For Damages
If the accident is your fault and
you have no insurance, you are
personally responsible for
damages to the people in the
other car and their property. A
“fender bender” or rear-end
collision can cost you up to
$10,000, depending on the extent
of the damages. And this is in
addition to the cost of repairing or
replacing your own vehicle.

8. You May Even Have To Pay For
Damages to
the vehicle
you hit
If you’re tempted to leave
the scene of an accident,
known as a “hit and run”,
you could be charged
under the criminal code,
which means jail time
Paying for
medical
expenses
If you or the other
party have sustained
injuries you will have
to pay off those
medical expenses

9. ● Lawsuits
If you cause an accident as an uninsured
driver, there’s a good chance you’re going
to get sued. Either by the other driver, or
their insurance company, or both. Someone
has to pay for the physical damage and
injuries sustained. Since you don’t have
auto insurance, all of those expenses
become your responsibility. Including hiring
your own lawyer, which is a huge expense!

10. Everyone knows that driving without
insurance is illegal. Many drivers continue to
hit the road without the mandatory
insurance coverage. But those drivers aren’t
just taking a risk of getting a fine. They’ll lose
a lot more if they get in an accident. They
could face huge lawsuits, and even jail time
in hit and run cases. Further, they are going
to make getting car insurance in the future
a lot more expensive for themselves

13. It is your responsibility as a driver to ensure you have the
coverage you need on the road. If you have questions about car
insurance, getting the advice of a licensed professional is
always a good idea. An insurance broker can provide you with
expert advice and guidance based on their experience and
extensive knowledge of the insurance industry
