G1 driver of uninsured car stopped going the wrong way on Hwy. 417 in Ottawa
The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) says a G1 driver who was caught driving the wrong way on an off-ramp from Highway 417 Saturday afternoon had no insurance.
Police say the woman, 59, was stopped when she was spotted going off the ramp from the highway at Moodie Drive.
That was when police found that the car was uninsured, and that the woman is a G1 driver.
As a result, she is facing charges related to G1 violations and a $5,000 fine for driving an uninsured vehicle.
The G1 licence is the beginner's or learner's permit in Ontario. G1 drivers have many restrictions, including the requirement to have a qualified driver with them when hitting the roads to minimize the risk of accidents.
More information about the restrictions is available online.

Ont. men plead guilty for roles in art fraud ring involving works of Norval Morrisseau
Two men accused of being involved in a fraud ring that authenticated and sold purported works of late renowned Indigenous artist Norval Morrisseau have pleaded guilty. David Paul Bremner, 78, admitted to being part of an art forgery network by producing certificates of authenticity for artworks falsely marketed and sold as genuine pieces by the late artist. Morrisseau, often called the 'Picasso of the North,' is widely recognized as the grandfather of contemporary Indigenous art in Canada. Morrisseau passed away in 2007. For years his estate has fought forgeries that flooded the art world market.

Bremner admitted he authenticated, appraised and / or otherwise handled art works provided by one of his co-accused, Jeff Cowan. The allegations against Cowan have not been tested in court. Jim White, 84, pleaded guilty in June. White, who is from Essa Township, was at the centre of it all, involved in marketing and selling hundreds of fake Morrisseau art around the world, some pieces sold for tens of thousands of dollars.

(CTV News/ Mike Arsalides) White pleaded guilty to producing forged documents and to possession and trafficking of more than 500 pieces of fake art. Two others co-accused pleaded guilty last year and were sentenced to five years in prison. As part of his plea, Bremner admitted to 'turning a blind eye' to suspicions the works were forgeries and that he took inadequate further steps to verify their authenticity and proceeded to authenticate the art anyway. Some pieces he authenticated sold for more than $30,000, with another fetching close to $100,000. David Paul Bremner David Paul Bremner, 78, leaving the Barrie Courthouse in the fall of 2024. (CTV News/Mike Arsalides) Bremner admitted he knew his certificates were being used to authenticate and legitimize the artworks and that his certificates were relied upon by White and others to sell the pieces, despite never having received formal training to authenticate Morrisseau works. Bremner, the court heard, collected about $150 from the sale of each piece. About 900 pieces were seized as part of the joint investigation by Thunder Bay Police and the OPP. Bremner and White are scheduled to be sentenced next month.

SIU clears officer of non-lethal firearm shooting
The logo of the Ontario Special Investigations Unit is pictured in Toronto on Friday, April 12, 2024. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Arlyn McAdorey The Special Investigations Unit (SIU) has determined that an Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) did not commit a criminal offence when he shot a non-lethal firearm at a man in April. The SIU report, Director Joseph Martino said he 'found no reasonable grounds' to believe the officer was out of line when he shot the 60-year-old man who had been setting houses on fire in Gravenhurst April 4. The man was not injured. OPP officers were dispatched to a residential area following calls to police from several homeowners reporting the man set fire to a number of residences. The officer, having reason to believe the man had a knife, shot the man with an Anti-riot Weapon Enfield (ARWEN) during his arrest. Martino found the use of the ARWEN made sense when the man refused to peacefully surrender and began to close the distance with the officers.
