MTO is proposing new light-duty inspection standards in place of Schedules 1 and 2 of Ontario Regulation 611 for a Safety Standards Certificate. These standards are posted on the Regulatory Registry for public comment until April 27th and they can be downloaded from the link below. Right now they are dealing only with Schedules 1 and 2 of the regulation and the other Schedules will be done later. They are asking for your comments and suggestions.

There’s a lot of stuff in there and I don’t like most of it, so I’ll be sending in my comments before the deadline. It’s a long read but I think it would be worthwhile for everyone to spend some time on it, especially any of you who are involved with an MTO licensed Motor Vehicle Inspection Station. Don’t just complain and fuss, read it and send in your comments. It WILL make a difference.

The ricers out there won't like a lot of the changes when it comes time for them to sell.

 Rat Rodders, 4X4 trucks, Pro streets, basically all of us.

The Liberals could really make some money if they required the inspections to be done yearly.

13% on every inspection, on every car in Ontario.

And some kid at Canadian Tire gets to drive your car, too.

Nice.

yup they want us to have a car 5 years then scrap it and buy another, just so they can snort coke from the excess tax collection

but the up side is........... when we are all umemployed welfare will buy us or cars so we can get our beer and smokes on cheque day ( or direct deposit day)

All good points. While the wording has been cleaned up and the format is simpler, there is a LOT of stuff in there that is very dangerous for rodders, and everyone else for that matter, but I haven’t seen any indication that they want to go to annual inspections. Now that you’ve had a chance to read the proposed standards DO SOMETHING!! Send in your comments in the Regulatory Registry right now. If enough people who know what they’re talking about send in the kind of comments as have already been posted here, maybe they’ll realize they’ve gone too far and make changes. That’s the way it works guys and gals – don’t just complain on a forum like this one, make your voice heard where it counts.

If no one votes for the Liberals how do they keep getting in? Ask your neighbours.

toronto and ottawa and then the rest of ontario gets the shaft. tim hudak turned a sure thing into one of the biggest "wtf" examples i've ever seen.

Bah. Time to move my corporation to Arizona, and license all the cars through it.

 i suggest if you find some wording that you don't like,, post the example here... and with a bunch of eyes and opinions doing the same thing , we can take the examples and put them in a letter to send as a constructive criticism to add,, or amend the draft wording..

some clauses may just need "19xx and older exempt" for example..

 they used to have a min reqd list for "KIT CARS" or home builds..  that was 1 pg ,,, I carried it with my drivers license,, so when I did a test drive.. I could show the officer the car met the min reqd by ont laws..  maybe that could be made clear right in the legislation
