Free Weekend in Quebec is Feb 8-9, 2014 (Feb 16, 17 and 18 in Ontario)

 

Interestingly, Quebec appears to be trying to sell one and three day passes to wrap around the 2 day weekend ..."To extend your enjoyment of our trails, simply do what over 80,000 snowmobile owners do and contact a local club. In addition to seasonal trail permits, 1, 3 and 7-day passes are available."

I think that is one thing Manitoba is doing right

 

The permit price is $135 BUT caught without its $475 almost 4x times the price of the original permit

 

Quebec is $460 only $100 hit

 

The fine in Ont is quite a bit lower is it not?

Ontario gov't seems to be thumbing it's nose at our volunteers. 

 

I'll bet there's a bigger fine for catching a fish out of season or fishing without a license than riding without a permit in Ontario.

If you're riding without a permit, I'll be there's a higher probability you don't have insurance.

 

Most "farm riders" don't have insurance. They fall into the A) category below.

 

A. For snowmobiles, insurance is not required while the snowmobile is being driven on the private property of the snowmobile's owner.

 
B. In all other cases, the law requires that you have the following minimum coverages.
 
  • Third Party Liability Coverage of at least $200,000 to protect you if another person is killed or injured, or if their property is damaged. If you're sued, this coverage pays claims up to the limit of your coverage, and the cost of settling the claims. 
     
  • Statutory Accident Benefits Coverage to provide supplementary medical, rehabilitation, attendant care, caregiver, non-earner, income replacement, and death benefits if you are killed or injured in an accident, regardless of who caused it. 
     
  • Direct Compensation – Property Damage (DCPD) Coverage to pay for damage to your vehicle and its contents, if another driver is at fault for an accident that occurs in Ontario and that driver is insured by an insurance company licensed in the province. 
     
  • Uninsured Automobile Coverage to provide financial compensation for you and your family if you're injured or killed by an unidentified driver or by an uninsured motorist. It also covers damage to your vehicle caused by an identified uninsured driver, up to $25,000.

Seems silly for the Ontario government to maintain such a low fine.
