Driver facing 2nd set of convictions for illegal ride-hail operation

In 2023, local law enforcement in Richmond collaborated with traffic safety officials to stop a driver engaging in unauthorized ride-hailing services.
The driver had faced similar charges in 2020, prompting a joint crackdown involving eight operations targeting illegal ride-hail operators.
The latest convictions against the driver include operating without a license, holding the wrong class of license, and failing to display a required certificate.
Fines totaling over $79,000 were issued to 35 operators during the crackdowns, with a Richmond RCMP officer stating illegal operators lack critical safety requirements such as criminal record checks, licensing, and insurance.
These actions reflect ongoing enforcement efforts to improve road safety by addressing violations linked to unlicensed ride-hailing services.
