A new government bill would allow ICBC to cancel your licence if you don’t make payments.

People seriously behind on their child and spousal support payments could now have their driver’s licences taken away.

The province announced April 17 it will introduce legislation to allow the auto insurer to instantly cancel the driver’s licence of anyone more than $3,000 behind in support payments.

Currently, the Family Maintenance Enforcement Program, which governs support payments, can only ask ICBC to refuse to issue or renew a licence. B.C. drivers must renew their licences every five years.
