Digital 'proof of insurance' now legal in Ontario

Ontario drivers can now carry proof of automobile insurance on their smart phones or other mobile devices.

The change took effect Thursday, giving motorists an option in addition to keeping the traditional paper “pink card” from their insurance company in their wallets or elsewhere in their vehicles.

Now if only I could take a pic of the front and back of my fucking fishing license and that be legal.

photoshopped expiry dates incoming

a good idea tho, save the lame ticket/trip to justice to 'show' you have it and waste half a day.

This is kinda of stupid though. Who doesn't carry their insurance slip in the glovebox?

yup, easier just to keep the paper slip in the car once it's mailed to me than to one day have to rifle through my phone trying to find the image from months ago if I ever need to show it.

Because handing your phone over to a police officer is always a good idea.

Re: Digital 'proof of insurance' now legal in Ontario

My friend bought his fishing liscense online from his phone and the temp one was digital
But then they mailed him a card. Seems backwards. Whatever keeps them union jobs rolling i guess.

People always have the card in their cars..but not everyone has a valid one that hasn't expired.
Unless insurance companies send the new card automatically to your email, not sure this new policy will help anyone.

don't get me started on fishing licences. the canadian tire in hastings ont that i've been buying my licence from for 30 years all of a sudden decides not to sell them anymore even tho they even sell live bait and everything fishing related. tried to buy it online and of course it didn't work.

I'd think twice about having a digital slip on the phone...

Will this be a BS tactic that insurance companies will try to pull? "Save trees, go digital slips" and then they charge you extra for the paper copy?
