Hi Elvis.... just my 2 cents on the subject. Whether or not the provincial and/or federal governments have a jurisdiction over these areas, well it depends on each area of Canada or basically where you live world wide. Myself personally, I would agree with the contents thus far with the seat belt law. I have an 67 M38A1 with seat belts in the front seats only and I use them. The back seats do not have them and I have never researched whether they were used or added to this vehicle over it's life span within the Armed Forces. However.....the fact is when ever I can, I drive the jeep with the wind shield down and those seat belts just give me that little bit extra security. Whether they save my life or not....well news at eleven!
As far as signals are concerned, I wouldn't drive any military vehicle anywhere without "proper" UP TO PAR turn signals and brake lights. All of my vehicles are equipped with them.....AND even then, it is amazing how many " blind" people are on the road today. Gentlemen...I live in Vancouver the "United Nations of Drivers Licences". I rest my case! Robert
