"RHD" Sticker Mandatory in Ontario??

[louis110]

So a cop came up to me the other day and told me that the "right hand drive vehicle" sticker is mandatory by law in ontario...

I read that the sticker is only required if your car doesn't possess working turn signals. can anyone confirm this?

[GTRADDICT]

Heard the same as you... You should keep a copy of the law book or whatever

You're correct, you don't need the sticker if you have turn signals, here's another thread that backs it up:

I agree. Sticker is not mandatory. I keep a printout of that section of the HTA in my skyline in case I get pulled over.

I will be keeping a printout of applicable HTA laws in my car as well, seeing as the officers themselves don't even know the rules.
You do not need the sticker if your turn signals work. Here's the link to Ontario Gov website:

Vehicles with right hand drive

63. Every vehicle that is equipped with a right hand drive shall, unless it is equipped with a mechanical or electrical signal device as described in subsection 142 (6), have prominently displayed on the rear thereof, in bold face letters of not less than 50 millimetres in height and of a colour which is in contrast to that of the vehicle, the words,

“RIGHT HAND DRIVE VEHICLE”.

My copy of the HTA has been in my glovebox since I bought my car. I'm really waiting for the day the cop tells me this just so I can be a bit of a smart ass:P

Agreed, just keep it with you to get out a jam, but don't be an a$$ about it. Remember, when a cop pulls you over, your attitude is reflected on the community as a whole.

Although not required I kept the RHD vehicle plate on my car, I would rather not provide the cop a reason to pull me over.

My thought is this may go as follows:
Cop: You need a RHD sticker
Me: No I dont, here is the reg for proof
Cop: Well then smart guy, did you know you were doing 5 over the speed limit? Well heres a ticket, slow down buddy (and stop bruising my ego)
Me: Crap...

Yeah, I've made stickers saying 'right hand drive vehicle'. I will mount them to a nice rectangular magnet, hopefully I can find one thats strong enough, yet thin. Ill throw it on the trunk for daily driving and I can always pull it off at meets or for pics, etc.
