Here we go again....MV bans.
 

What, if you have an interest in preserving military history you shall be stomped on and denied it?????

Saskatchewan has also imposed similar restrictions for military vehicles after around 1978 I believe, and indicated they have the right to go back to 1970. They say it's about not having the little certification label on the door piller from transport canada or \fmvss.

An earlier discussion about these two bans and the actual bulletins from the respective provincial departments.:

The start of the end of MVs on the road
 

They Take our guns away and now the MVs ……

What about Hagerty insurance????
 

Could they be used to lobby for the hobby?????

Curious....... can you still buy car insurance from the private sector in BC.

The ICBC, like all of the public insurance companies, is compulsory. But it isn't so much a problem with insurance as it is a problem that the department of motor vehicles won't allow an inspection and have essentially banned them from the roadways.
One work around might be to "sell" it to a relative that is out of province and register it there. Because of reciprocal agreements between states and provinces, it would be able to be operated on BC roads. But at some point you might have to answer for why it is continually in BC with an out of province plate.

Qurap.....Krap.....Merde.....
 

They sure know how to do it!!!!!

Wait a minute.......
 

“not designed to conform to the standards prescribed in the Motor Vehicle Safety Act (Canada) for motor vehicles designed for use on a highway at the time the vehicle was manufactured.”

So a CMP made in Oshawa, Ontario Canada in 1940 was made according to a vehicle of its time.......... even if the original lights were cockeyed!!!!!.....if they rule out CMPs they have to rule out Model T Fords...... or earlier cars with acetylene lights!!!!!

.....or will load the back of the CMP with manure...fresh.... and hang a farmer's red triangle on the tail gate..........

The 1940s were up to the standard of the time....not that there were a lot of standards yet. As to model Ts, here in this province a vehicle must be OEM. Model Ts are fine down the transcanada highway, although there was an accident a few years ago after the thresherman's reunion when a model T was rear ended by a semi. The only thing beyond OEM that is a legislated requirement in manitoba is a license plate light.

When the guys were fighting the ban in Quebec, one of the things that came up was that under DOD rules in the US, vehicles must meet the Federal standards when they are produced. They may not get the testing, and may not have the niceties like airbags, but apparently that helped kill the new Quebec regulations.

So If military vehicles aren’t safe for road use then how are the Reservists and regular force going to get their vehicles from say Winnipeg to Shilo and back?
Or summer driving students around the city.
If they’re saying the vehicles in civilian hands aren’t safe for the road then what makes them safe if the military’s driving them around on the highways and in the city?
They may have to trailer everything out to the training areas now!

DND vehicles are federal. They are not subject to provincial inspections or regulations. That includes both the green fleet and the white (commercial) fleet. They are subject to the usual like speeding tickets etc but are exempt from parking meters and tolls.

Don't forget the government places itself above the law in some cases. Over here, the MoD can issue their own licence plates, they have their own blocks as the licence plate number is in fact the registration number. They can swap them from vehicle to vehicle. This is otherwise impossible as the VIN is linked 1-on-1 to the licence plate for all other vehicles.
The MoD does not have to insure their vehicles as they are independently risk-bearing, as they say. In other words, if there are damages the government can always pay up as they cannot go bankrupt anyway.
When acquiring the new fleet of trucks (see Dutch Replacing DAF YA-4442 With Scania Gryphus), there were some actors voicing that the new vehicles should be made less complex, e.g. not to have emission control systems. That would make them cheaper, easier to maintain and no-one in Afghanistan and Mali checks emissions, right? After they were delivered, the MoD found out that the new Scania trucks were too high to comply to road regulations :doh: The manufacturer is "to come up with a solution" but in the meantime MoD trucks are exempt from height restrictions - which all other trucks on the road have to comply to, of course.

All I am saying is that the fact that military vehicles comply to government standards when they are produced, does not mean you as a private person or as a company can fall back on that as the same government may well have applied some exemptions to those standards for their own good.

The same bureaucratic government "logic" that calls a civilian owned AR15 firearm a "assault weapon that only has one purpose and one alone....to kill as many people in a short a period as possible". Yet calls the same rifle in Mil/LE hands a "Patrol Carbine".

The USA does or tries the same type legislation here. Without any fanfare or in the dead of night, they pass legislation that would normally never pass. We have people in organizations watching these Politician like a hawk. It all about control.

I mean absolutely no offense but, first they take your guns and now, basically the vehicles you drive on technicalities and overall BS. Is Canada becoming a pure Socialist/Communist/Dictatorial Country?

Just wondering.
