I want to add that MPI still consider you for suspension for a couple years after the accident so you're not quite off the hook.

License Suspensions due to accidents (or maybe a combination of things such as speeding tickets, etc.) If you have received notice of a potential license suspension. YOUR BEST BET is to buyback your accidents, this makes it so that your accident disappears from your record. This is expensive, but if not driving would turn your life upside-down it might be worth it.

If you get suspended for an accident and a speeding ticket or something, just buyback the accident and their logic for suspending you dramatically reduces.

My car was rear-ended by Ontario car. According to MPI we have to pay the deductible since they did not insured the Ontario car. I mean if we are hit by these outside Manitoba cars that are around, we just need to feel sorry and suck up to pay the deductible fee. This doesn't feel right.

After reading all the stories of people being defrauding by this company. I have decided to share our experience.

We were pulled over at a checkstop and blew a fail twice. This seemed wrong since I didn’t have enough to drink that this should have happened. MPI handed out a suspension.

We immediately got bloodwork and a doctors opinion on why this happened and his expert statement. As well as a witness statement. And asked MPI for a review.

During the review we mentioned why the test must have been wrong and that the device didn’t seem to be working properly. And we also didn’t see two devices, but there must have been two since the officer wrote there was.

The officer also wrote there was only a slight smell of alcohol. Again, we didn’t have much to drink and that was almost two hours previously. The MPI reviewing officer said he didn’t even look at the expert statement yet (great that he was unprepared)

MPI upheld the suspension with no reason given

We were able to get dashcam footage and asked two service centers and the manufacturer of the ASD. Both said the same thing. - “The device isn’t working properly and needs to be repaired”

We asked MPI for a review. Told no because it was impossible for both devices to be wrong and not working

We looked at the footage. Yep. The second test did the same thing.

We asked MPI again. We said that both devices are not working and like they said, this is very unlikely. So it is probably the same faulty device. Based on this one fact alone the suspension should be revoked. But nope.

MPI refused again. Saying they/it was calibrated at one point in the past. So basically they are going to ignore the manufacturer and experts saying something is wrong.

We asked MPI if the device was run over and a dangling mess of wires and plastic, would they consider it working because it was calibrated months ago? Silence.

MPI said they have to make a decision based on the balance of probabilities. But they refuse to look at any evidence from the other side. We were never even allowed to show them the video footage nor do we think they even took any of the other evidence into account

MPI told us we can take them to court if we want. Wow. Why is doing the right thing so hard for these people?

Note, MPI actually has a conflict of interest. They profit from suspensions and fines. So it is not surprising that they will ignore any evidence that could cost them money if they revoke them

MPI has a history of acting in bad faith. We have mentioned our story to a few MPI people and lawyers. All have thought it was ridiculous. But have also mentioned the toxic fraudulent actions like this come from the top. And it is just how it is. So just have to hope you never have to deal with them.

Has anyone ever considered why MPI is allowed to collect G.S.T. on used vehicles? According to what I have read by law the only time anyone can collect G.S.T. on used items is when they operated a store for resale. I have never heard of MPI offering used cars for sale.

Is anyone aware of a mental illness diagnosis that doctors that write reports for mpi prefer to report ? Are there particular mental illness diagnosis that most often or always result in losing appeals at AICAC ?

Vern RumlFebruary 17, 2023  6:09:32 PM
Any recommendations for lawyers for collision related mental illness(s) ?Any recommendations other than the CAO to write questions to doctors for the purpose of using the doctor report(s) for mpi appeals ?
