If you are caught driving while your license is suspended for a Criminal Code offence, the vehicle you are driving will be impounded for a minimum of 45 days. This applies whether the vehicle is borrowed from a friend or family member, used for business or employment purposes, rented or leased. The owner of the vehicle must pay the towing and storage costs before the vehicle will be released. This program applies to all motor vehicles including passenger vehicles, motorcycles, trucks and buses.
The Vehicle Impoundment Program makes vehicle owners responsible for ensuring that anyone driving their vehicles is not suspended for a Criminal Code conviction. People loaning or renting their vehicles can verify that a driver’s license is valid by phone at 1-900-565-6555 or online at www.mto.gov.on.ca. You can also get a driver’s abstract at Driver and Vehicle License Issuing Offices or Service Ontario Kiosks. There is a nominal fee for each license checked.
