Well, since it seems every other day someone is squaking about how unfairly the cops and the government treat them. They always say “what can we do?”
Well, here’s a frigging good example.
They’ve released a 24-page document filled with case studies, statistics, as well as a class-a rebutting of an original erroneous study which got the gov’t moving on changing the import laws.
In case you were not aware, Transport Canada is planning to change import laws for non-American cars to cars 25 years and older, instead of 15.
All the ivoac.ca seems to do is whine about the situation. If People would man up and produce a new headlight and run side markers etc we wouldn’t be in this situation in the first place.
I could honestly care less if they change the law. I’m tired of every other post on GTRC being some whiney IVOAC poster complaining about not being able to pass safety and the apparent import law change.
That document really doesn’t seem to have an original thought in it. Any person could copy and paste studies done in other countries and bind them up in a PDF. So if we’re cool with the laws in Japan and the UK, how about there stance on blood-alcohol levels? 1 beer and your drunk. Or how about the penalty for drifting on the street and being caught?
$4000 + 2 years no license. Numerous people were busted for this recently. So where do you draw the line? You Can’t get a gun in the Uk.
Perhaps i’ll respect the IVOAC when they actually come up with something original.
all it will mean is we get 40 fewer overseas cars in canada, realistically I’m sure the number of non-american imports is tiny
however something like a silvia could just as easily be sent over and hacked up or modified with a canadian car vin and/or parts without being considered an import
