Ontario Provincial Police issue warning about taking unplated and uninsured vehicles on the highway

OPP gets tough on individual seen with an illegal vehicle on a section of highway near his residence

Ontario Provincial Police have issued a warning in the wake of a Sudbury motorcycle driver who attempted to ride on Highway 144 near his personal residence, near Chelmsford. 

In a social media post on Friday, police said the 21-year-old invididual was recently observed, stopped and ticketed for several Highway Traffic Act violations as a result. 

OPP said the motorcycle owner was charged with having no insurance, no licence plates, improper licence and operating an unsafe vehicle on a highway. Police said the accused was issued four Provincial Summons notices, and was directed to walk the motorcycle back to the residence. 

The OPP said it is reminding the public to operate vehicles with the correct driver’s licence class and that all vehicles must be safe to operate, properly plated and fully insured, while on a highway.
