Barrie's Curbers Beat All     
 
A 1992 UCDA Curbsider study of just one Barrie Area paper, the Simcoe Shopper, resulted in the highest proportion of curbsiders that has ever been found. The 10 week survey of 2,412 different cars showed that over 40% were curbed cars. 
 

 

Many of the curbsiders that were uncovered in the follow-up were "professional" enough not to transfer the registration into their own name. The proof of their advertising, however, was enough for the Ministry to take action. 

Naturally, all of the results of the Barrie Area Computer Study were passed along to the Registrar's office. This data is continuing evidence of the immense size and scope of curbsiding in Ontario. 

The UCDA was told that those who've never been registered as dealers or salespeople would have received Registrar's "warning" letters; while others would be sent on for investigation and prosecution.
