Three motorists were recently stopped and ticketed between Gander and Grand Falls-Windsor by RCMP NL for operating vehicles without insurance.
On January 28, 2025, RCMP Traffic Services Central stopped a vehicle with expired registration on Roe Avenue in Gander. The driver, a 25-year-old man, had a suspended licence and was operating a vehicle without insurance.
Later in the evening, shortly before 11:30 p.m., Gander RCMP stopped a vehicle on Byrd Avenue in Gander. The driver, a 40-year-old woman, was operating without a driver’s licence and without insurance.
At approximately 3:30 p.m. on January 29, 2025, Grand Falls-Windsor RCMP stopped a vehicle on Lincoln Road in Grand Falls-Windsor. The driver, a 25-year-old man, was operating an uninsured vehicle without a valid driver’s licence.
All three drivers were ticketed and the vehicles were seized and impounded.
RCMP NL has the ability to confirm a vehicle’s current registration and insurance status by checking a vehicle’s licence plate. The information is electronically readily available. Although a driver is required to provide proof of insurance, police do not rely solely upon the information contained within the “pink slip” as proof of insurance.
