I was browsing the Highway Traffic Act.

Like most people I was told that I need a “sign” or something to indicate my car is RHD, I just believed it (though I NEVER did put a sign)  
Well I just searched the HTA on the MTO website

And it this is all it had to say about RHD:  
Vehicles with right hand drive

```
  63. Every vehicle that is equipped with a right hand drive shall, <b>unless it is equipped with a mechanical or electrical signal device as described in subsection 142 (6),</b> have prominently displayed on the rear thereof, in bold face letters of not less than 50 millimetres in height and of a colour which is in contrast to that of the vehicle, the words,

```

“RIGHT HAND DRIVE VEHICLE”.

NOTE the part about subsection 142, that has to do with signaling.  
Therefore, if your turn signals/brakes etc do not work you need the sign. If they DO work then you don’t need ANYTHING at all.
