More uninsured vehicles are on West Shore roads, and a change to licence plate decal requirements could be partly to blame, according to RCMP.

say that in July, traffic unit officers issued 65 tickets for driving without vehicle insurance — a dramatic rise that’s more than triple the 21 tickets issued the same month last year.

“Police believe this is partly due to licence plate validation decals no longer being required as of May 2022.” The move also coincided with the full launch of online auto insurance renewals, said ICBC. It noted that drivers could leave their current decal on their licence plate or remove it. “ALPR has the ability to scan licence plates while officers are patrolling, and it alerts them to a vehicle that is violating driving laws within its vicinity, no insurance is among these alerts,” said Jacobson in the release., and their vehicle could be towed.
