Elderly Canadian driver stunned to receive a fine for an incident that happened in 1960

There’s nothing that angers drivers quite like receiving a ticket, but imagine the fury if you were this Canadian man who received a $5,000 driving fine six decades late.

65 years after a reported collision in Toronto, this Canadian man was finally hit with a fine.

But it wasn’t because of anything special about the circumstances, like legalities.

Rather the authorities hadn’t notified him of the fine for over six decades.

Canadian man gets driving fine for 65-year-old incident he doesn’t remember

We’ve seen some colossal fines racked up from bizarre cases of road use, such as one Chicago woman who had a $100,000 parking ticket on her abandoned Chevy Monte Carlo.

But this Canadian man was stunned as he was told that he needed to pay up for a fine 65 years ago that he didn’t even remember.

85-year-old Ossie Gildart needed to take a driver’s test to reinstate his license after a recent fender-bender but was left speechless at a refusal.

According to the elderly Canadian man, the test center claimed that he had an outstanding ticket worth $4,661.91 from an uninsured collision in Toronto, in 1960.

“I just couldn’t believe it. I couldn’t remember having an accident that I wasn’t insured with,” he told CBC News.

He claimed he had no recollection of a collision and has even passed multiple license tests since then, having had to renew every year while serving as a service technician in Ontario and passing a Class 1 test to drive trucks for CN Rail.

During each of these tests, he said the ticket was never brought up.

“I was never notified by anybody, for anything. I was never suspended. I never had a problem.

“I just can’t believe they’d do this to a senior that’s 86 years old next week.”

The Canadian man has since been made to uphold the fine. He now pays $200 a month in installments, which will take two years to pay off.

Gildart has had his license reinstated though and is back on the road.

Still, it could be worse.

This Volkswagen Golf once racked up a mighty $208k worth of fines from parking at Berlin Airport for over a year.
