I've been rooting around the nb sites the last few nites at work......it's not a pretty picture. The RCMP have been giving re-inspection orders to mildly lifted rigs, and they are failing and getting pulled off the road. David Hoar is also the inspector for Nova Scotia, as well as NB. So it's not much of a stretch to see this happening here, like, tommorrow. It is going to happen!!! They are trying to get proactive and organized, there are discussions on TMS, NBJC, and NBOffRoad sites. check out this link - (it doesn't seem to run too well yet, but it's a start) - 4x4preservation.servehttp.com/This is everybit as important as the Land-Use Issues we are facing in this hobby, and quite frankly, we suck at fighting the gov. GET INFORMED!!!!!!! Jan MacLean |

Sections like this can bite you in the butt (no pun intended);
187 (1) Every motor vehicle shall at all times be equipped with a muffler in good working order and in constant operation to prevent excessive or unusual noise, and no person shall use a muffler cut-out, by-pass or similar device upon a vehicle on a highway.
199 (1) No vehicle shall be driven or moved on any highway unless the vehicle is so constructed or loaded as to prevent its contents from dropping, shifting, leaking or otherwise escaping therefrom.
(2) Every motor vehicle and every trailer shall be equipped with mudguards, fenders or flaps adequate to reduce effectively the wheel spray or splash of water from the roadway to the rear of the vehicle or trailer, unless the spray or splash is effectively reduced by the body of the vehicle or trailer or by a trailer drawn by the vehicle.
188 No person shall start, drive, turn or stop any motor vehicle, or accelerate the vehicle engine while the vehicle is stationary, in a manner which causes any loud and unnecessary noise in or from the engine, exhaust system, braking system or from the contact of the tires with the roadway. R.S., c. 293, s. 188.
This section may be of some conern. Its vague enough to leave questions;
Regulation concerning equipment
200 (1) The Governor in Council may make regulations
(a) requiring the use or incorporation of any equipment, material or device, in or on any vehicle, that may affect the safe operation of the vehicle on the highway or that may reduce or prevent injury to persons in a vehicle on a highway or to persons using the highway, and prescribing the specifications thereof;
(b) designating any equipment, material or device and designating an organization to test and mark its approval of any equipment, material or device so designated, and prohibiting the incorporation or use in or on a vehicle of any equipment, material or device so designated that is not marked as approved by the testing organization;
(c) prohibiting the sale or use of any equipment, material or device.
(2) Regulations made under subsection (1) may adopt by reference or otherwise standards or specifications established or approved by the Canadian Standards Association or other testing organization with or without modifications or variations or may require that any equipment conforms to the standards or specifications established or approved by the Canadian Standards Association or other testing organization or bear the approval of the Canadian Standards Association or other testing organization.
(3) Any person who violates a provision of any regulations made under this Section is guilty of an offence and on summary conviction is liable to a penalty of not less than one hundred dollars and not more than five hundred dollars. R.S., c. 293, s. 200.
Anywho, its all there, just gotta know where to look.
Cheers,
Mike W

If you read up on the MVA, there is no mentioned penalty for section 199 (mud flaps, flares ect.) I myself have already been stopped by the police for my tires hanging out "too far" without wider flares, and received a written warning. How much could they charge me with this if they decide to press the issue? It's all BS to me, but the more info, the better.
