I'd like to buy this and drive it around the city.

Who do I have to talk to from ICBC?

how about figuring out if you're allowed to import it first

You know, he could. http://www.icbc.com/registration-licensing/specialty-vehicles/u-bilt

He would have to register the vehicle as a kit car and perform the necessary modifications for it to be street legal.

Financially - does it make sense? No.

But hey, whatever floats your boat. :fuckthatshit:

First you must conquer the country; defeat our current leader Stephen Harper in hand to hand combat. Then as our new found king you shall make it law to legally ride your chariots of fire and steel.

Nope they can drive whatever they want, police cars are not insured by ICBC at all.

I saw a huge urban camo 6-8 wheeled police/military tank thing on the road once in langley..no idea what it was what it was sick.

Know of a family in Abby that owns a crapload of tanks, Humvees, misc military vehicles. They can't actually drive the tanks on the roads here because they'll destroy the asphalt. One of their tanks was used in the A-Team movie, and they are used in a lot of other movies a well. Friend of mine went to prom in one of their Humvees.

Police/RCMP are, Canadian military are not. In fact, military personnel doesn't even have to pull over for police/RCMP and if they do, don't have to produce a valid driver's licence.

so wait if i join the army and im driving my own vehicle i dont have to pull over :badpokerface:

I believe RCMP carry their own insurance, outside of ICBC.
68Style should know, he managed their fleet assets :p

when my first car got stolen and i called 911 the operator read a waiver to me basically stating that the police force is not liable if there is a shootout, they have to ram my car off the road or keep it for evidents... didnt really give me a choice :pokerface:

C'mon, Great68.

It's a fact that Revscene knoweldge > all.

Even if 68style is right, Revscene is always right. We have some of the most highly educated and intellectual elite gracing their presence on this very forum. :troll:

Sorry but you're wrong, police and RCMP are not insured by ICBC. License plates =/= insurance.

Ah. Municipal agencies ARE insured by ICBC though. Or at least the VPD is.

that's totally untrue, they cannot do whatever the fuck they want.

they have military drivers licences. 404's they're called.

they're given a lot more leeway but u can be damned sure if i park a HLVW on the sidewalk on broadway, im gonna get in trouble for sure.

yeah, they never get pulled over for speeding cuz the trucks cant even go that fast hahaha...

military isnt immune to the law. they have to follow it too, perhaps they might get a slap on the wrist or written up, or a low level charge at most. but it's not "i cant do whatever the fuck i want".

Point is, they get away with a hell of a lot, especially when they have places to be.

Until the MP's come around.

What's funny is the MP's giving cell phone tickets to people driving around the base on the phone.
Corporate email came about a month ago warning people caught in company vehicles on the phone will lose driving priveleges of company vehicles, "Including CFB Esquimalt". I guess someone got busted hahaha
