How long will his Ontario car insurance and driver’s ticence be valid here? Amswer: A new resident bringing a vehicle into British Columbia must register and insure the vehicle within 39 days of arrival. Your friend must go, in persen, to a Motor Vehicle Licence Ofiice and take his car for inspection. He will be issued with new licence plates for his car when he buys his insurance. Your friend’s Ontario driver’s licence is valid here for six months before he must take out a B.C. driver’s licence. He would have to take, and: pass, only the written part of the B.C. driver’s test in order to qualify for a B.C. licence. Question: Shortly before my bir- thday I received a bill for ‘points’ on my driver’s licence. Althongh I remembered that § hed got two tickets for speeding during the previous year I was not expecting a bill for $150 and the six points I had on my Licence. I thought you only paid for your points over a flrec-year period and that you were ‘forgiven’ three points each year on your birthday. Answer; Under the new system, which was introduced last year, you will be billed once a year for points accumulated on your licence @vring that 12-month period. The bill will be sent out about a month before your birthday. jelp’s at hand Four or less points will cost you nothing. After that the cost rises steeply from $115 for five points to “as high as $2,500 for 26 or more points. If you are having trouble paying the bill you have the option of giv- ing up your driver’s licence in- stead. You can surrender your licence for the whole year and wipe out all your points. If you do this and later change your mind and want your licence back you can get it after a mini- mum of 30 days, but you will have to pay a reduced driver’s premium point fee plus a reinstatement. fee. One month’s surrender of licence will save you one-twelfth of the cost of your points. wat The North Shore Information and Volunteer Centre, a United Way agency, is located at 1060 Roosevelt Cres., North Vancouver, B.C.
