I renewed the vehicle tags which expired in August on schedule at Service Ontario in Midland...

For $15 I'm not going to have to concern myself with the officer choosing to issue a ticket or not. Then there comes the question... insurance. I believe to have your policy valid there is a clause in there that says the sled must be licensed and in compliance with the laws. If I were in an accident I wouldn't want to take a chance on whether the insurance company would use that as an escape clause for their liability. The insurance companies don't write the laws.. and currently Ontario indicates your tags are still valid..they wouldn't have a leg to stand on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PAY ATTENTION TO THIS - PULL OUT YOUR WALLET AND MAKE SURE YOUR O.H.I.P. CARD HAS NOT EXPIRED!! You will need it for your covid vaccine shots. Not according to the following Slomo, taken from https://www.ontario.ca/page/health-card-renewal just now: Service changes due to COVID-19 (coronavirus) You may not need to renew your health card at this time. Health cards have an extended expiry date until further notice. We will notify you when you need to renew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that it might be a stretch but I don’t need the stress or anxiety of having a roadside/trailside argument/discussion with a LEO or a court discussion with a judge or my insurance company. Do it right and kill the chance of it happening. I believe the word is “proactive”. I might be attempting retirement but I won’t afford time for that crap.

Parry Sound Service Ontario is usually in and out in 5 minutes and they are polite.I can go there faster than online. You should know the saying."Since retirement I have been so busy I don't know how I ever had time to go to work." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always has been. Busy in retirement is one thing but my health has also got me slowed down to frustration. What I used to do in an hour now takes me all day to do.

At ms. slomo's family clinic, still old guys wandering in for their "every four years" check up (fits this forum demographic n'est pas?) and cards expired years ago. Best get things squared away once the over 70's get their vaccinations and the province tries to decide which group is next in line. ...not to say you would be refused, but same as having valid vehicle registration ...why hazard the hassle ? The region in which your card is registered may make some difference in your initial accessibility to the vaccination as more populated areas will probably have priority.

Insurance will typically try to find a way to not pay. I suspect it could be an argument they may put forward. Similar to you not being covered in your vehicle if you are traveling on a road the police have closed or you not being covered if the driver doesn't have a valid drivers licence.

There were reports earlier that people were getting flack & tickets from officers for not having valid stickers, which means you need to deal with it in the courts, etc.....so why put yourself through that. There should not be a hassle unless the cop is a moron. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you or others are willing to take the chance that you might not run into one that is, knowing how easy renewing can be be done now a days, all because a piece of paper did not come in the mail .

The courts will not even hear these cases, it gets tossed with a call to the crown and the cop gets in crap. It has already happened when this first started last March. Pretty sure all cops are now used to it and not so stupid as to write one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigdaddy63250 Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 I was pulled over this weekend in sprucedale area by opp in the trail. I ha e an expired val tag as well. I explained that I was unable to purchase yet because of covid and I will try getting online. I had all my other document, and office told me no problem, just get it soon and let us on our way. My sticker expired in December 2020. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I try not to think too much about it, but at times, it is hard and frustrates the hell out of me, I cannot believe how people are approaching this and what is going on, it is nuts. But than again those on the flip side will say the same about my outlook or those with similar ones.....which one is lesser of two evils though..............

I even remember my wife's birthday to renew the tag for her vehicle. I am also wise enough to remember our anniversary and nobody sends me reminders for either of those events. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
