Don't carry your birth certificate with you. You can get shanghaied and be sold as a slave. The new Canada.
Keep high quality photos on our phones? I thought we weren't allowed to use our phones while the vehicle is operating? If someone is pulled over for a traffic stop and they have their vehicle in park (still operating a motor vehicle technically) and they show their documents to a police officer on their phone… is that police officer going to also give them a ticket for illegal mobile electronic usage?
Might want to update the service Ontario website if you're allowing digital copies of documents now. I renewed my driver's license online and was instructed that the temporary document had to be printed and carried with my old license and that showing proof on a cell phone was not valid.
And then they give you a ticket for not having it….duh!
Never ever keep any documents in your car ! The same applies to any valuable objects !
The best way to avoid your car from been stolen, is to make the job of thieves more difficult; so they will steal the next car.
Things to do to make the the job of thieves more difficult;b RFID protection sleeves, having your glass windows marked, install a bar on the car steering .
I bought a new car last year, and the Ontario license bureau staff (in Ottawa) told me that copies of my registration are not acceptable – we have two drivers, so they told me to keep the original in the glove compartment…. So who do you believe?
lol , did the same guy who said leave your wallet and keys at the front door come up with that one too ?
ENOUGH!
Welcome to Trudeau's Canada, where you leave the thief your keys and make sure your driving documents are not stored in the vehicle they're for.
Our country is a JOKE.
How about JAIL NOT BAIL!?
Or better yet arrest car thieves and keep em in jail
