Cars Impounded in Manitoba Hit New Low in February
Manitoba reports show only 38 of 1275 cars involved in accidents were impounded in February. Attorney General J. McLenagacen notes this marks the smallest impoundment rate since the Safety Responsibility Law began in December 1945. He adds only about 3 drivers lacked insurance. Last year February saw 5 percent of cars impounded for lack of proof of financial responsibility.
