Last month, police and SGI focused on suspended drivers and unregistered vehicles. Driving on a suspended license or in an unregistered vehicle could result in your insurance coverage being nullified in the event of a collision, and depending on the offense it could carry additional penalties including fines, court summons, and impoundments.

In the month of November, 1,106 people were caught driving when they shouldn't have. A mixture of unregistered vehicles and suspended licenses. 

Media Relations Manager with SGI, Tyler McMurchy says that most people driving while suspended have had their license suspended for a good reason, usually either criminal reasoning or medical. Both of which mean that they should not be on the road. 

It's a safety concern when drivers continue to drive after getting their license suspended as an authority has determined that they are not allowed to operate a vehicle. There are a number of reasons for license suspensions including impaired driving offenses, poor records, and failure to live up to obligations imposed by SGI and the courts.

In better news, however, the number of distracted driving tickets have dropped in Saskatchewan. After setting a single-month record in October, the number of tickets across the province dropped to 653, 560 of which being for cellphone use. It's the first time in nine months that the total has fallen below 700.
