Ontario car owners are now receiving thousand dollar fines, or higher, for trying to evade Drive Clean testing.

For example, Ewart Orin Garner was fined $1,000 for one violation under the Environmental Protection Act for failing to comply with a written notice to submit a vehicle for testing and inspection with respect to the Drive Clean program. Mr. Garner resides in Barrie and is the registered owner of a 1992 Honda. In September 2009, the vehicle was registered with the Ministry of Transportation, using a false address to avoid the Ontario Drive Clean program. In 2011, a Provincial Officer issued Mr. Garner a notice to submit the motor vehicle for emissions testing. Mr. Garner failed to do so.
