Rules or interpetations

Various posts on whats allowed and whats not.

This is what I found when doing research for building my rod.

Noise, smoke, bells and horns

Muffler

75.  (1)  Every motor vehicle or motor assisted bicycle shall be equipped with a muffler in good working order and in constant operation to prevent excessive or unusual noise and excessive smoke, and no person shall use a muffler cut-out, straight exhaust, gutted muffler, hollywood muffler, by-pass or similar device upon a motor vehicle or motor assisted bicycle. R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, s. 75 (1).

Regulations re bumpers

81.  The Lieutenant Governor in Council may make regulations requiring any type or class of commercial motor vehicle or trailer to be equipped with rear bumpers and prescribing the location and means of attachment of the bumpers and prescribing the specifications for the bumpers.  R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, s. 81.

Mudguards

(3)  Every motor vehicle and every trailer shall be equipped with mudguards or fenders or other device adequate to reduce effectively the wheel spray or splash of water from the roadway to the rear thereof, unless adequate protection is afforded by the body of the motor vehicle or trailer or by a trailer drawn by the motor vehicle. R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, s. 66 (3).

Exception

(4)  Subsection (3) does not apply to motor vehicles or trailers in an unfinished condition while proceeding to a works for completion. R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, s. 66 (4).

Other equipment

Windshield wiper, mirror

66.  (1)  Every motor vehicle other than a motorcycle shall be equipped with,

(a) a device for cleaning rain, snow and other moisture from the windshield so constructed as to be controlled or operated by the driver;

(b) a mirror or mirrors securely attached to the vehicle and placed in such a position as to afford the driver a clearly reflected view of the roadway in the rear, or of any vehicle approaching from the rear. R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8,

  

How I percieve the above and again, its my interpetation.

Mudgaurds also known as fenders are to stop spray from back of vehicle. That is why its percieved as a fair-weather law. By the above, I can drive fenderless if I am pulling a trailer that has fenders and mud flaps.

No mention of washer bottle, and you can make a manual wiper as well and it is totally fine.
