    Canadian Business Journal looks at RHD`s

    RightDrive/CAVI vs. CADA
    Kent/Leier vs. Hatch
    David vs. Goliath

    Canadian Business Journal views both sides. Check it out. It is decent, but not great. The writer is very unbiased though which is good. When we spoke to him on the phone, he said he is very much on the side of the small businessmen.

    "They're old, they're dirty" I didnt know a car being dirty could harm anyone. And these OLD cars probably have lower km then any old LHD car here. Thanks for sharing!

    The writer was very unbiased. Definitely worth the read.
    I love it how Kent pretty much delivered a slap in the face with the 25 year law. If you want the cars coming into Canada to be safer, dont make it so that the cars we import are older. In fact they should be newer! The law should be made a 5 year law. The newer the car, the better the safety standards and equipment in the car!
    Go Kent!

    You guys have my full support for this and if there is anything needed from the actual drivers/owners, Iam sure all of us here would be very happy to oblige!

    Hatch made this comment in regards to them being environmentally dirty (emissions). This is why his argument to have the law pushed back to 25 years is going in reverse. It makes no sense.

    Thanks Guys

    Big Thanks to Dale over at CAVI as well. He is fighting hard for us to keep our vehicle rights.
    More news to come soon!

    Agreed with everyone above. Nothing CADA or they're representatives have said has made sense. They're walking all over themselves. We're right behind Right Drive and CAVI! Anything it takes to defend these cars!

    One thing I like to point out is the vehicle inspection requirement they have in Japan:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor-v...ection_(Japan)

    http://www.navi.go.jp/english/index.html

    and the Japanese also have one of the world's toughest auto emission standards:

    And what about 15 year and older LHD European cars from Japan? Are they safer because they are left hand drive and less of a polluter because the Japanese has stricter emission standards?
