Brian Vickers is a 17 year old Novice driver. He was convicted under section 144(1)(b) MVA, Driving Without Reasonable Consideration for Others Using the Highway, for passing another vehicle while traveling in excess of the speed limit in a school zone. The 6 penalty points associated to the conviction triggered a notice of intention to prohibit for 4 months from the Superintendent. Mr. Vickers responded to the notice with a written submission but the Superintendent imposed the 4 month prohibition in spite of it.
This case is a review of the Superintendent's decision by the courts. While the court did not see Mr. Vicker's driving record, which consisted of the single conviction, as being poor, it did not find the prohibition to be unreasonable. The court dismissed the application for review.
