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.

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

“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!
