taking a case to bc's MP to try to turn the 15 year law

[MKIV]

first thing to note is that the 15 year law has nothing to do with ICBC.. its a Federal Rule which is made and regulated by Transport Canada.. a Local MP cant do anything about it.. ICBC will provide insurance on any car if its legaly imported.. ICBC doesnt car if its 15 years old.. all they ask for is the required paperwork from Transport Canada..

FYI lots of reading about all this stuff on
www.15years.ca
www.jdmvip.com


but good luck with this.

Great info! Thanks

If the law change, people will buy overseas cars. Which canada will loose money in the automotive industries. Not gonna to happen. At least I dont think so. Good luck!

To the OP, good luck with your endeavour, but I doubt it will go anywhere.

I agree with both of you. Transport Canada already reduced it to 15 from 25 years, I doubt they will go any further. Besides, we already have it better than most other jurisdictions, most of which are still at 25 years.

The law will never change from 15 to 0 years, it's impossible. There are too many massive corporations that will lobby the Government to keep it 15, or raise it to 25. Money wins over public interest, sad but true.
I say just be happy with what we have, and don't ruffle any feathers, or what we do have could be taken away.

Well I guess there is not going to be enough interest here everything drifted off topic lol I will keep trying and keep up on the research there will be no online petitions if a petition is put up it will be on paper and sent to interested shops across Canada

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but Mercedes Benz had a part in the 15 year and 25 year rule?

To prevent people from importing high end mercedes cars from overseas. Someone told me this can't remember who.

Anyhow we are lucky enough like others have posted.

Im all for Changing the Rule, however after 6 + years of being involved i know its basically impossible..

Hell even if you were doing Protest like the Occupy protests you still wouldn't get things changed..

but best of luck.. PM me if you need any info/help.. im on all those forums.. and been into this for a long time.

or its to promote that the sober driver can take more drunk passengers so they dont drink and drive...works both ways

That's definitely true

This is still OT but I don't see how that's true. If you can't have more than one passenger, the sober driver can't take more passengers. So instead all those extra passengers will end up taking their own cars since they can't ride with the dedicated driver.

Unless I'm missing something, it doesn't make sense.
