Is there any legal law that says the bulbs on my trunk lighting up the License plate have to be functional?
 
can someone find out? I dont know where to look this up.


I don't want to be held legally responsible to the information I might give. So I won't.
If someone finds me the exact ticket price I would post what was going through my mind...lol

The ticket for non conform equipement is usually $152.00.
same as ilegal tints, or muffler.
No points

And forget about a whit light that shines bacwards. Its illegal also
 
I can tell you what your planning. You want to install a light that will blind photo radars.

By doing that you could get a ticket for this
423. Sous réserve de l'article 224, nul ne peut circuler avec un véhicule routier muni de phares blancs allumés projetant un faisceau lumineux vers l'arrière.

And then there is this.
251. Nul ne peut installer ou faire installer dans un véhicule routier ou y introduire de quelque façon un détecteur de radar de vitesse.
252. Nul ne peut vendre, louer ou mettre à la disposition de quiconque contre valeur, ou de quelque façon offrir de vendre, de louer ou mettre à la disposition de quiconque contre valeur, un détecteur de radar de vitesse.

253. Pour l'application des articles 251 et 252, un détecteur de radar de vitesse est tout appareil ou ensemble d'appareils qui peut être utilisé pour aviser le conducteur d'un véhicule routier de la présence d'un radar de vitesse ou pour nuire au fonctionnement normal d'un tel radar.

It could get expensive pretty fast. In Québec at least
 
Where can I find the english version of this?

From my understand this is all about radar detectors and such.
This has noooothing to do with the Radar, just the use of the Cameras used to take pictures of the liscence plate.
In the states its fully legal to buy these plastic cases on top of liscence plates to block the Cameras. Forcing them to buy much higher end equipment that can take pictures even with the screens. Its a game back and forth. I want to get ahead of the game by having that and something else.


I have nothing against getting a ticket by a police officer for speeding. But I have no intension of getting a fine for my brother's driving or whoever else is driving my car.

This is a cash grab and we have to fight it. They want to figure new ways to make money, well we are smart too and will figure out ways to bypass them.

Mythbusters tested all those screens and sprays that advertise that they "fool" radar cameras. None of them worked. That is why they are legal, because they are just a scam.

See the forum stickies for links to the CSR, it's not on the SAAQ Website, but on the government's documentation site.

The law is clear. The camera that takes the picture is considerd part of the radar.

Dont lend him your car. If you do and he gets a ticket you can say it was him driving and the ticket will go to him. And then kick is ass for being an irrespensible prick for speeding with YOUR car!!

Are there any active photo radars in Québec yet!!??
I dont know anyone who's actually got a ticket from one yet.
Best defence is to follow the speed limit.
 
I have yet to see anyone drive at 70km/h on decarie.
I dont mind driving at safe speeds.

Safe speeds means going at the same speed as traffic, if you go much faster or much slower you will be part of or the cause of an accident.

If the goverment would fix the speed limits there wouldnt be a problem.

I have yet to see someone get a ticket for driving the same speed as everyone else.
You get targetted when your going faster then everyone else.
Thats a fact.
For what i know there a no speed caméra there anyways.
By the way, whenever you can drive over 100, you should expect radars!
They dont do radar when traffic is crawling. Dont pay good.

If you can't follow the speed limit for a 5 km distance, with a board that tell you at least 1km ahead that there will be photo radar you are a tard and deserve the ticket! The section where the photo radar will be will be announced! everybody will maintain the limit on that section! If you can't, well, you deserve the ticket.
 
9° un feu de recul blanc, placé à l'arrière;

Ca se contredit un peu non?


Voiture manuelle avec des feux de recul tres puissants, branches en paralelle avec la switch de reculon sur la transmission.
 
If you put as much effort into driving according to the law as you do in finding ways around it in this thread, you wouldn't have to worry about anything.

.

Ne ca ne se contredit pas parceque si tu lit le code, c'est indiqué que c'est permis en marche arriere seulement. Aucun phare blanc qui éclaire vers l'arrirere en marche avant sauf pour certain véhicule qui ont recu le ok de la SAAQ
