People seriously behind on their child and spousal support payments could now have their driver鈥檚 licences taken away.

The province announced Tuesday it鈥檚 introducing legislation to allow the auto insurer to instantly cancel the driver鈥檚 licence of anyone more than $3,000 behind in support payments.

Currently, the Family Maintenance Enforcement Program, which governs support payments, can only ask ICBC to refuse to issue or renew a licence. B.C. drivers must renew their licences every five years.
