Good question was wondering this my self. I think they Red flag the vin and give you a ticket?
not sure what else… They did a big blitz for tucks lately and said a lot were pulled from the road i could see them thinking that cars would be the next easy target.
actually hasn’t happened to me yet.
i Have an ae86 and my neighbor wanted to buy it, but he said that its been redflagged in the ministry and that it was pulled off the road at one point.
now it wont say all that stuff on the buyers package would it?
he also said everytime its been registered that the KM has been going up and down. I can understand since they only Saftey these older cars and dont plug them in, a previous owner could have had the guage cluster switched without the next owner knowing the real KM.
I want to try and justify the problem somehow i dont like the feeling of my car being a target when my plates get run by a cop behind or in front of me.
can anybody get a carfax or somthing like that if i post up the vin? or i will get around to it when i register the car to my name, but if anyone can get help, do post.
Have you gone for your safety yet? If you just changed it into your name and haven’t done the safety. That’s why it says that. When you go in to give them the safety and etest to get your sticker you’ll get a new slip that says pas fit.
I had this happen to me on the 427 North by I think it was Kipling on my way from Downtown at 9 am. Gardner to 427 to 401 to 410. I dropped someone off at 9am at her work on Kipling after drinking way too much the night before. I had a Metro Highway division officer follow me off the ramp. I dropped her off and got back on proceeding North to go home and nurse my hangover. After dropping her off he waited on the road and I thought it was weird…He then hung a U-Turn and followed me back on 427 Northbound. AS SOON as I merged onto the HWY he threw his lights on and pulled me over. I was driving a 1991 Toyota Cressida on cut springs and MB Battles that pretty much didn’t fit…(BTW: This was in the springtime during the “lets fucking stop people from enjoying their cars” Blitz) During the winter I hit a snowbank drifting and hit a friends car and he smashed into my passenger rear door hard. It made me Right Rear Tire look like it had a million degrees of toe in…Thus the reason why I got pulled over and the fact that my MB Battles rubbed the whole time I drove. He came to my window on the highway and asked if I noticed my Rear tire being bent in and I said its the dent that makes it look like that. He then told me as the driver and my friend to get out of the car…it was -12 that day and told me and I quote “ARE YOU FUCKING INSANE DRIVING A CAR THIS UNSAFE?” I again assured him that it was the dent and his eyes were messing with him and asked for some chalk to mark both back tires to show they are the same. He said “YOU EXPECT ME TO BELIEVE YOU?? AT 9AM HUNGOVER AND NO RIGHT TO ENDANGER OTHER PEOPLE ON THE HIGHWAY!!!” he then walked to the back of my Cressida and put his foot on the bumper and Ripped…and by ripped I mean ripped off around the bolts…ripped off my rear plate and told me I am not allowed back in my car nor his car to keep warm until the tow truck showed up. Then he folded my rear plate in half and threw it on the ground and went to his car. Both my friend and I had to sit outside FREEZING and Hungover for 35 min until the tow truck showed up. I had to tow my car home, cop gave me a “Operating a unsafe motor vehicle ticket” Also a summons to court to show a judge that I got the car fixed and is road worthy before granting stickers or plates.
In the end I got a safety at a random shop saying it was ok, also the mechanic came to court saying it was unlawful and the cop was there biting his tongue.
If you get pulled over or go threw a safety check and your plates get pulled. All you have to do is fix any problems they say you got and get a “technical 32 or some kinda number point” safety…If your shit is holy with rust and busted to fuck…get it fixed or stay in your small town and don’t drive on highways on holidays or long weekends…unless ya got a horseshoe up yer ass.
FUCK THAT WAS LONG. Sorry I am bored.

yea my chassis was more holy / holey then the pope !
but i got that shit welded up and undercoated.
how much is that 32 point inspection and can any regular licensed mechanic do this?
thats fuckery btw that he damaged your car.
my tires are a bit chewed up from rubbing my quarter panel. I hope thats not a reason to get pulled over.
Its more then 32 points. Its just a regular safety inspection. And there’s 34 iirc things that have to be inspected in order for your vehicle to be deemed road worthy. Everything from body rust to brakes. You need a safety to get plates so you have to get one regardless. I take this is your first car. And you may have patched your holes. But the mechanic might not like your work and still won’t pass you. And when you go for an etest if you fail. You can’t take it to another place and have it magically pass. They’ll flag you and could possibly come inspect your vehicle.
The regular safety inspection was not sufficient the first time. Because I was able to get the mechanic to come with me I was able to get the judge to let it go so I didn’t have to get the other Safety done. The other safety I’m talking about is done at a Ministry registered and specific shop that have Ontario employee’s working not just regular mechanics.
