Kelly Rae Rhone was charged for operating a motor vehicle without proper insurance while driving on the Trans Canada Highway at Mill Bay, B.C. Ms. Rhone disputed the traffic ticket on the basis that keeping the insurance current was her husband's job and that she did not know the insurance was expired. She held the honest belief that the vehicle was insured when she began her journey that day.
Judicial Justice Gordon found " I conclude that simply leaving it to her husband to look after the renewal of insurance of a vehicle of which she is the principal operator is not sufficient reasonable care for this regulatory offence. I therefore conclude Ms. Rhone did not take the requisite reasonable care to determine if the Tahoe was insured under a liability policy when she drove it on May 4, 2011, nor did she take reasonable steps to avoid doing so."
