    JDM now banned in Quebec for the next 180days!

    As of today, NEW JDM cars are banned in Quebec! You will no longer be able to register or inspect new JDM cars in the province of Quebec However Cars that are already in the system will be grandfathered and will not have any issues.

    The ban is in place for the next 180 days so that the government can make a study and see if it needs to stop the import of any new JDM cars to Quebec.

    en vigueur depuis ce matin 29 avril 09


    nouveaux RHD: interdits

    ceux déja immatriculés conservent tous leurs droits (incluant la vente au Québec);

    COURRIER OPÉRATIONNEL

    DESTINATAIRES : Centres de services
    Mandataires en permis et immatriculation
    Direction des relations avec la clientèle
    Service aux entreprises
    Service aux particuliers

    EXPÉDITRICE : xxxxxxxxxxxx

    DATE D’ENVOI : Le 28 avril 2009

    SUJET : Immatriculation

    OBJET : Arrêté ministériel concernant l’accès aux chemins publics des véhicules munis d’un poste de conduite à droite


    Veuillez prendre note, qu’en vertu d’un arrêté ministériel, la ministre des Transports interdira l’accès aux chemins publics aux véhicules routiers munis d’un poste de conduite à droite, parce qu’ils constituent un risque pour les usagers de la route sur notre réseau routier. Cette interdiction entre en vigueur le 29 avril 2009, pour une durée de 180 jours.

    Les véhicules munis d’un poste de conduite à droite, visés par l’interdiction, sont des véhicules importés dont l’année de fabrication est de 15 ans ou plus. Comme ces véhicules sont soumis à la vérification mécanique lors de la première demande d’immatriculation, ce sont les mandataires en vérification mécanique qui les intercepteront à compter du 29 avril. En effet, ces derniers accepteront d’effectuer une inspection mécanique seulement si le véhicule est autorisé à accéder aux chemins publics (voir Sont autorisés à accéder aux chemins publics ci-dessous), sinon aucune vérification mécanique ne sera effectuée.

    Puisque selon les procédures, vous devez exiger un certificat de vérification mécanique conforme lors de la première immatriculation permettant la circulation sur les chemins publics et que le mandataire en vérification mécanique refusera d’effectuer la vérification pour ces véhicules, aucune immatriculation permettant cet accès ne pourra être délivrée (certificat d’immatriculation temporaire ou plaque permettant la circulation sur les chemins publics). La seule immatriculation permise sera celle sans utilisation (SUTIL) telle que prévue aux procédures et celle permettant l’utilisation « hors route ».

    Nous vous rappelons que la généralité 2.07.020.E (annexe) prévoit qu’un certificat de vérification mécanique conforme doit être exigé pour émettre un certificat d’immatriculation temporaire pour un véhicule provenant de l’extérieur du Québec.

    Sont autorisés à accéder aux chemins publics:

     les véhicules immatriculés au Québec avant le 29 avril 2009, c’est à dire avec une plaque permettant la circulation sur les chemins publics ou ceux déjà enregistrés au système (SUTIL ou plaque V);
     les véhicules immatriculés à l’extérieur du Québec;
     les véhicules fabriqués avant le 1er janvier 1971;
     les camions, les souffleuses à neige et les véhicules de transport d’équipement tels que définis au Règlement sur l’immatriculation des véhicules routiers;
     les véhicules appelés à faire des arrêts répétitifs le long d’un chemin dans le cadre d’un travail visant un service public;
     les véhicules-outils;
     les véhicules routiers appartenant à une école de conduite ou à un établissement qui est titulaire d’un permis pour l’enseignement de la conduite de camions lourds délivré en vertu de l’article 10 de la Loi sur l’enseignement privé.

    Commerçants :

    Les commerçants seront informés par lettre qu’à compter du 29 avril 2009, ils ne peuvent émettre un certificat temporaire, ni apposer une plaque amovible sur un véhicule muni d’un poste de conduite à droite à moins que ce dernier soit enregistré au système avant le 29 avril 2009.

    Commentaires :

    L’arrêté ministériel précise que tout intéressé peut transmettre des commentaires à la Société de l’assurance automobile du Québec, 333, boulevard Jean-Lesage, C-4-21, C.P. 19600, Québec (Québec) G1K 8J6 dans les 90 jours de sa publication à la Gazette officielle du Québec. La Société poursuivra ses travaux sur cette problématique pendant la durée prévue de 180 jours. À l’expiration de ce délai, elle soumettra une recommandation à la ministre quant à la pertinence de rendre l’interdiction permanente.

    TO: Service Centers
    License agents and registration
    Direction des relations avec la clientèle
    Services for Business
    Services for Individuals

    FROM: xxxxxxxxxxxx

    SENT DATE: April 28, 2009

    SUBJECT: Registration

    SUBJECT: Ministerial Order concerning access to public roads of vehicles fitted with a driving position to the right


    Please note that by virtue of a ministerial order, the Minister of Transportation will prohibit access to public roads for road vehicles with a driver's cab on the right, because they pose a risk to users of the road on our roads. The ban comes into force on 29 April 2009, for a period of 180 days.

    Vehicles with a driver's cab on the right, covered by the ban are imported vehicles whose year of manufacture is 15 years or more. As these vehicles are subjected to mechanical inspection at the first registration application, the mechanical inspection agents who intercept from 29 April. Indeed, they agree to perform a mechanical inspection if the vehicle is allowed to access public roads (see, are granted access to public roads below), if any mechanical inspection will be made.

    Since under the procedures, you must require a certificate of mechanical inspection line when the first registration allowing traffic on public roads and that the mechanical inspection agent will refuse to carry out the investigation for these vehicles no registration to access will not be issued (certificate of temporary registration plate or allowing traffic on public roads). The only registration will be permitted without use (Sutil) as laid down in procedures and to use "off road".

    We remind you that the generality 2.07.020.E (appendix) provides a certificate of mechanical inspection line should be required to issue a temporary registration certificate for a vehicle from outside Quebec.

    Are granted access to public roads:

     vehicles registered in Québec before 29 April 2009, ie with a plate allowing traffic on public roads or those already registered in the system (or plate Sutil V);
     vehicles registered outside of Quebec;
     vehicles manufactured before 1 January 1971;
     trucks, snow blowers and vehicles transporting equipment as defined in Regulation on the registration of road vehicles;
     vehicles known to make repeated stops along a path through a work for a public service;
     vehicles tools;
     road vehicles belonging to a driving school or an institution which is licensed to teach driving of heavy trucks, issued under Article 10 of the Act respecting private education.

    Retailers:

    Traders will be informed by letter that as of 29 April 2009, they can not issue a temporary certificate or affix a removable plate on a vehicle with a driving position to the right unless it is registered to the system before April 29 2009.

    Comments:

    The Ministerial Decree specifies that all interested parties may send comments to the Société de l'assurance automobile du Quebec, 333, boulevard Jean-Lesage, C-4-21, CP 19600, Québec (Québec) G1K 8J6 within 90 days its publication in the Gazette officielle du Québec. The Company will continue its work on this issue during the period of 180 days. Upon expiry of this deadline, it will submit a recommendation to the Minister regarding the advisability of making the ban permanent.

    How are residents of Quebec who have bought a vehicle from Japan that's currently in transit here going to be treated? No exception? Just left out in the cold unable to register and use a vehicle that they bought before even knowing of the ban?

    I haven't heard anything of this even being a possibility... did they just announce it out of the blue this morning?

    yeah it was announced today out of nowhere...
    If the car was registered in Qc before today, it's in the clear, if not, too bad.

    What happens to those who own one but want to sell their car within QC? Would the new owner need an inspection or only if it is out of province?

    In Quebec you dont need to have the car inspected when sold. The inspection is good almost forever, as long as you keep it on the road and the car isn't falling apart.
