Canadian motorist with 8 lifetime driving bans busted for speeding

He don’t need no stinking license.

A man pulled over for allegedly speeding was discovered to have a whopping eight separate lifetime driving bans, reported Canadian news website the Orangeville Banner.

When cops ran a driver’s license check on Toronto resident Timothy Fraser after halting him Oct. 21, they discovered the steering scofflaw’s checkered past.

“I’ve never seen that many. This is the first time I’ve seen someone with eight,” Dufferin Ontario Provincial Police Constable Shannon Gordanier told the Banner. “The risk of driving and putting other people in harm’s way is definitely not worth it. There is a reason there had been that many prohibitions and therefore, it needs to be taken seriously.”

Fraser — who was driving in the small town of Mono, Ontario — was slapped with a slew of charges, including operating a vehicle without insurance, use of plate not authorized for vehicle, speeding and prohibited driving under suspension.

According to Section 53(1) of Canada’s Highway Traffic Act, driving with a suspended license carries a minimum $760 fine to as high as $3,800.

Driving with a disqualified license, however, is a criminal offense, according to Section 259(4) of the Criminal Code.

Fraser was released back into the public until his next court date, which is set for December, according to the Banner.

This time he's really in trouble; the next ban will extend into the afterlife.

So much for words printed on paper - guess they’ll send him a card asking him to please obey the ban; and oh, here’s a gift card to Starbucks.

After eight, it’s like some notorious honor. He can say he’s the Lifetime Driving Ban Champion of Canada.

I’m not generally a fan of jail for low level offenses. But this is just nuts. Lock him up.

My best friend from high school turned into an alcoholic/drug addict and had 10 DWI citations back in the 70's, when they didn't do that much to an offender.
He kicked his habits for a while, then went off the deep end and died at 50.

He needs to apply for a parking permit at the court house, see what they say to that.

“Lock em up”

And THAT is the only way to keep ‘em off the road. Multiple dui offenders drive all the time. Revoking a license don’t do squat.....restraining orders don’t work either for that matter.

Reminds be of old joke- goes something like this:

9the grade classroom and teacher asks Reggie(Football team star) "What is 30 time 6?" He replies 100?. "No, sorry"--then class yells "Give Reggie another chance!" and the teacher says, "Okay, what is 12 plus 22?" He replies, "88?" Teacher again says, "No" and class tells "Give Reggie another chance!" Teacher says, "This is the last chance. What is 9 plus 3?" Reggie says "12?" and the class yells "Give Reggie another chance!"
