Re: MTO Spot Check on Diesel Pick ups

As somebody who has spent the last 20 years in the trucking industry, I know why the emissions regulations increased as well, and I don't subscribe to the tinfoil hat theories that it has anything to do with making trucks wear out faster – it has everything to do with people not getting...

Re: Uninsured / unlicensed / unplated - On private property?

Remember that some private properties, like malls, have bylaws in effect making it a "highway" as defined in the HTA because of the large amount of "public" traffic going thru them. So you can be charged for all HTA offences on these types private properties. Thank you, duly not...

Re: Uninsured / unlicensed / unplated - On private property?

Thanks, although I guess that leads to another ball of wax with regards to personal private property versus somebody else's private property, as well as the fact it seems that off-road vehicles fall into a different classification/expectation than on-road vehicles in such a scenario?

Re: Uninsured / unlicensed / unplated - On private property?

<sigh> Guys, I'm totally aware of all of the potential downsides of what I am proposing. I don't need to be told - I'm simply looking for the legality aspect purely from the perspective of the HTA.

Re: Uninsured / unlicensed / unplated - On private property?

We plan to be discrete, not idiots roaring and screeching around and attracting attention to ourselves, trust me...most of the time will likely be spent teaching my wife low speed maneuvering and shifting, etc. If security asks us to leave (in what I would guess is some extremely unlikely scenario w...

Uninsured / unlicensed / unplated - On private property?

We've had our fun over the last five years of JetSki ownership however we are ready for something new. However, stupidly, when I last owned a motorcycle about 20 years ago I neve...

Re: MTO Spot Check on Diesel Pick ups

As mentioned, when you own or drive a diesel pick up you shouldn't be surprised about being pulled over occasionally by the Ministry of finance for a fuel dip as well - they are ensuring that people aren't running red dye diesel (Off-road use only) in on road vehicles. The fines for such will blow y...
