We also discuss the Vancouver City Council motion to have the province withhold driver’s licenses for unpaid City of Vancouver bylaw tickets for fighting.

Can the City of Vancouver Withhold Driver’s Licenses For Unpaid Fighting Bylaw Tickets?

The City of Vancouver is considering a motion that would permit it to work with the BC Government and Vancouver Police Department in an attempt to withhold driver’s licenses for individuals who have unpaid bylaw fines for fighting and other bylaw offences.

NPA Councillor Melissa De Genova appears to have tabled a motion that suggests the City of Vancouver should try to withhold driver’s licenses from individuals who have not paid these fines. However, there is currently no statutory authority for this to be done. Her motion would have the City of Vancouver pressure the province to amend BC’s Motor Vehicle Act for the sole purpose of the City collecting more revenue.

It is unlikely this will happen.
