Bob has finally succumb to the dreaded RATS, an acronym I find quite fitting (Rusty Army Truck Syndrome). I'm sure most MLUers are in the same boat
David, the MOT (Ministry of Transport) here in Ontario, has always had autority to inspect trailers etc, whetehr they are commercial or personal, although for the most part they left non-commercial ones alone. Lack of manpower seemed to be the problem as well as too many junk trucks that carriers were driving.
The new mandate lately is to start harrassing everyone as many of the dangerous trailers are the ones that weekend warriors are pulling up to the cottage - old tent, boat , and car trailers.
I spoke with the spokesman from the OPP (Ontario Provincial Police) who is BTW, a mv enthusiast as well, and he told me that they took no less than 100 vehicles off the road in one weekend blitz on the Victoria Day weekend!
