A woman charged with driving while prohibited or licence suspended pleaded guilty to a lesser charge on March 21 in Prince George provincial court.
Judge David Simpkin fined 53-year-old Elisa Diane Ginter $500 for driving without a licence under the Motor Vehicle Act.
Court heard that a Prince George RCMP officer pulled over a Chevrolet Malibu driven by Ginter on Nov. 10, 2024. Ginter immediately advised the officer she did not have a driver’s licence or any other identification with her at the time. Ginter otherwise co-operated and provided her name, date of birth, address and a BC driver’s licence keyword.
Police determined that her licence had been cancelled. An officer provided her a court appearance notice and notice of driving prohibition. Her vehicle was impounded for seven days.
Simpkin agreed to the joint Crown and defence submission of a $500 fine, which is in addition to the $700 Ginter paid to get the vehicle out of the impound lot.
