| Quebec perminently bans RHD cars
Quote:
Uh oh, A bit of bad news for enthusiasts in Canada. The province of Quebec has banned the importation of registration of right hand drive vehicles over unspecified "safety issues", a move which will no doubt be a big blow to the Japanese car scene in Canada.
At the time the ban is just for Quebec, but there are worries the movement could spend to the rest of the country.
Maybe it's time for some organized opposition, just as SEMA has helped the hobbyist countless times here in the states?

not really. all currently registered cars will be grandfathered through the new law. it will only ban the importation of new RHD vehicles.

if the 15 year rhd import rule stays, by then R36 will probably be out and the R34 will be as common as the current R32 that infest our streets

So... what about the RHD postal vehicles that they use in Quebec? Are they going to ban them as well?

I met this girl who had a R32 GTR, and she lives in Montreal.
Her car was impounded after she was pulled over a couple days after Quebec banned RHD cars.
That being said, I don't know how it works over there, but that seems harsh to me.

i guess someone could invest in a shop doing conversions... but that would just be way to freaking expensive and ultimately not worth it

* Light vehicles imported from Japan ("Kei") were subjected to any impact test before 1 October 1998. As such, they offer the same level of safety as passenger vehicles. The SAAQ recommends caution when traveling on board a light vehicle and avoid, where possible, including public roads with posted speed over 70 km / h.
| HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Stupid frenchies. And they think you should do 70km/h with a fucking 2CV?

Here's an idea... how about RHD licensing? Like how you have to get a motorcycle license, you need to take another test for RHD. I'm not a fan of RHD or JDM but I do like the old Brit roadsters and it would be a shame if I can't get one when I'm in my 40's...

RHD already has a special indication in the insurance policy for being RHD and I think it's getting dinged hard if you try to get comprehensive and collision coverage.

Apart from a handful of enthusiasts, I think most RHD drivers r buying RHD cars just to be different

They'll support anything french, but as long as its not and its hurting their sales, they'll ban it.

Most of the rhd cars are rwd/awd, turbocharged, light weight
and usually in very good condition for their age (cheaper insurance).
Nothing in the Canadian car market compares.
I can see why the government might be under some pressure to ban these...

If someone's desperate enough, they can swap Mirage parts to Evos and Cressida parts to x80's.
