BC really that hard up for money?

But one would think they would remember getting a ticket for No Licence. Thats a pretty big one, as you then can't drive. A cop isn't going to give you a ticket for no licence, then let you drive the vehicle away, out of province or not.

was it no licence or failure to produce a licence.

According to ICBC it was for no valid licence on the vehicle.

Are you talking about a valid license plate sticker? Also do you remember getting a ticket or being pulled over in BC in `91?

hmmm.. weird one, was this in your vehicle or one you borrowed? I know cops here used to be pretty forgiving and not tow you if your were all nice and such but just give you a ticket and tell you to get it taken care of, but thoes days are gone LOL.. maby they cut some slack on the towing because it was out of provence.. but who knows..

it realy sucks but some times in our "young dumb and bulit proof" days we make stupid disisions that come back to haunt us later... if only I could be 16 again and know what I know now

I think everyone wants a bit more money these days. My Brother-in-law just had a collection agency call him on behalf of his old Columbia House account. They claim he still owes them from 1996! All he did was quote them a few lines from the Canadian statute of limitations and they left him alone. I guess during times of economic growth these companies will let a few bucks slip through the cracks. Now that times aren't so good, they have to scrape the bottom for every red penny.
