Ossie Gildart, 85, was informed at Service New Brunswick that his driving license was suspended due to a $4,661.91 fee resulting from a 1960 uninsured accident in Ontario, which he does not remember. Despite having consistently renewed his license throughout his life, this debt had never been flagged until now. Service New Brunswick only investigates claims over ten years old if they are court-ordered. Gildart's license has since been reinstated, but the financial burden from this long-ago incident continues to weigh on him, raising questions about accountability and transparency in the licensing process.
Gildart learned unexpectedly that his driver's license was suspended due to an outstanding debt from a 1960 accident involving an uninsured driver.
He was told he had to pay $4,661.91 stemming from a 65-year-old claim, which he didn't even recall being involved in.
The New Brunswick public safety spokesperson explained that license suspensions from over a decade ago do not have to be acted upon.
Though Gildart's license is now reinstated, the issue of the unpaid bill from an accident he can't remember remains unresolved.
