Hundreds of B.C. drivers are being denied vehicle insurance every year after thieves steal their identities and rack up fines and police fail to check the impersonators' driver's licences carefully when issuing tickets.

    "Records show that last March 2, a Vancouver police officer issued a $121 traffic ticket to a woman who produced Wutke's expired driver's licence and was driving a rental car that had been reported stolen. The police officer issued a citation for failing to obey a traffic sign and allowed her to drive away."

    Just fine police work right there. What a joke. Another show of Police not doing there jobs properly

    I guess I shouldnt bitch about my card getting racked to $5000.000 then.

    Wutke said the thieves have also taken out several credit cards. She estimated at least $120,000 worth of goods and services has been charged to her name.

    In the meantime, Wutke is facing an additional ticket for $250 — because, she said, she had no choice but to leave her vehicle parked on the street without valid plates.


    She should have parked the scooter on a family's or friend's private driveway or sold the scooter. Ignorance of the law is no excuse.

    No doubt. Having gone through it myself, I feel for anyone else who is victimized by it.
