HOW MANY PARTS ARE IN A CAR?

A single car has about 30,000 parts, counting every part down to the smallest screws, nuts and bolts. Some of these parts are made by the manufacturer, but there are lots of suppliers that make many of these parts. The 30,000 or so parts use different raw materials and different manufacturing processes.

Making good parts requires a lot of research and development. Having the parts made by companies that have expertise in their own fields allows us to obtain high-quality parts. Toyota's suppliers make seats, wheels, steering wheels, windshields, headlights, and meters, for example.

Ontario prepares to launch digital ID program and here's how it works

TORONTO -- Ontario is preparing to launch a digital identification program in the coming months, meaning people will no longer need to carry a physical driver’s licence or health card.

According to the government, Ontario's digital identification program is scheduled to launch in late 2021.

On Wednesday, the province unveiled more information about the program, saying it will be a "convenient and easy identification solution" for Ontarians.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Ontarians will be able to have an electronic version of their trusted government ID – like driver's licences and health cards – which the government says is more safe and secure.

Your ID will be stored in a digital wallet app, which will be available for download onto smartphones and other devices like tablets and laptops

The Ministry of Transportation confirmed to CTV News Toronto this week that most driver's licences that expired during the pandemic and haven't been renewed since must be done so by Feb. 28. 

The Feb. 28 deadline is for Class G licence holders, the Ontario government said. 

Novice licence holders – class G1, G2, M1 or M2 – will have until Dec. 31, 2022 to requalify for or upgrade their novice driver’s licence.

WHAT ELSE NEEDS TO BE RENEWED?

Driver's licences, licence plate stickers and other vehicle products must be renewed by Feb. 28, the government said. 

In addition, if your Ontario Photo Card or Ontario Photo Health Card expired during the pandemic, it must also be renewed by Feb. 28.

People who have not renewed these products during the extended validity period will be required to pay the fee for previous years, in addition to the current year renewal fee.

Ontario has also temporarily waived requirements for people to renew their driver's licence in person, including for senior drivers, meaning it can be done online.
