The main driver does not have a memory of the incident that would have taken place 65 years ago in Canada
–>
- A Canadian was sentenced to a fine for participating in an uninsured accident 65 years ago.
- The 85 -year -old man had suspended his driver’s license and has to pay a heavy fine.
- The senior driver does not remember the accident and is now looking for a lawyer.
A bizarre touch in the application of the traffic law has surfaced in Canada, leaving many people scratching their heads. This implies Ossie Gildart, 85, who was struck by a heavy fine for an accident which was supposed to have taken place in 1960, yes, 65 years ago.
Gildart, who currently lies in New Brunswick, learned the fine after a wing minor in December 2024, which forced him to resume his driver test. But instead of the usual procedure, it was informed that his license was suspended until he reimbursed a fine of $ 4,662 CA (around $ 3,300 US at current exchange rates).

To his surprise, the fine was not linked to his recent driving behavior behind the wheel of his Dodge Grand Caravan. Instead, it was linked to an uninsured accident that took place 65 years ago in Toronto. As indicated by CBC NewsGildart does not remember being involved in an accident throughout the time he spent in Toronto in the early 1960s.
A long -delayed surprise
What makes this situation even more confusing is that Gildart has renewed his driving license countless times over the years without any problem. While working as a service technician in Ontario, he had to renew his license each year. Then, in 1971, he moved to New Brunswick and obtained a class 1 license to drive trucks for CN Rail. However, despite all these renewals, no one has ever mentioned the alleged accident not assured decades ago.
According to a spokesperson for the New Brunswick Public Security Ministry, Canada-scale analyzes are now carried out to check the license suspensions in other provinces. However, if the court order has more than a decade, the ministry is not required to suspend the license or to receive the amount in circulation in the name of another province.

Although Gildart has managed to recover his driving license, he must always pay the fine of $ 4,662 CA (US $ 3,300), which is due to the Ontario Ministry of Transport. The 85 -year -old man opted for monthly payments from turnover $ 200 (US $ 140), describing them as “a big slap in the face”.
Naturally frustrated, Gildart and his family plan to hire a lawyer to challenge the decision. “I have never been suspended. I never had a problem. I cannot believe that they would do this to an 86-year-old senior next week, “he told CBC News.
