Cage legality on Ontario streets

[Martino]

Cages can be 100% legal if their of proper build and are certified/signed off on by a tech official at Mosport for example. Once they confirm the cage is proper you can then take their info to a license MTO shop for a regular safety and they look for 3 things…

1 ) You can get in and out in easily
2 ) No Bars can block or obstruct your vision through any windows or mirrors
3 ) “If you have manual windows” you must still be able to roll the window up/down easily without any bars getting in the way.

So if you get approval on the cage build and then the car itself passes a normal safety without the cage interfering etc… then you’re 100% legit and even if a cop did give you a ticket it would be dropped in court instantly since you’ve went out everything legally vs illegally.

As well, this is all stated in the MTO Highway Traffic Act in regards to adding Bars or Safety Tubes to a Vehicle. I’ve posted links online to it before but I’m not in the mood to be searching for it now.

Seems like your the man I need to talk to.

As far as the safety goes, what if your car has already been safetied? After having a tech sign off on it does the vehicle need to be re-safetied?

If you could post the link, that be greatly appreciated…It’s the main reason I made this thread.

Thanks.
