It's a liberal (of course) MP from Sacarborogh-Agincourt who's posted this. It's a private members bill, so we'll see how far it gets (probably nowhere). But still -- where do these assholes get off. Hopefully he gets blown out of the water on oct 14th.

Jim Karygiannis, get off your ass and think about how to fix the behavior, not the hardware. Knowing beyond, hopefully this thread will be a top google hit on your name. So, when your smug arrogant self googles yourself, take heed -- canadians are not going to stand for this nany state bullshit much longer.

I wish this was true, but im afraid it is far from.

i heard another thing today about that whole limiting what type of movies get funding and which dont.

More social control you asshats.


As for this, I dont like it but ignoring the larger consequences (more government control) I dont mind if my DD had a 150km/h upper limit. Assuming I dont want a new car to track or it isn't possible to turn off.

Ummmm, what percentage of cars need to go over 150km/h? I understand where you guys are coming from with this, but at the same time does your street car ever really need to go over 110km/h?

Fucking lame but there will always be a way around this sort of thing.

Can someone translate that bill into english...

An Act to amend the Motor Vehicle Safety Act (speed limiters)

Definition of “speed limiter”


5.1 (1) In this section, “speed limiter” means a device mounted on a vehicle that, when engaged, electronically limits the maximum speed at which the vehicle is driven to the speed set on the device.

This section is explaining what speed limiter means when they refer to it below


Restrictions re manufacture, importation, sale and lease

(2) No person shall manufacture, import into Canada or sell or lease to another person a vehicle unless it is equipped with a speed limiter that is engaged and set to a maximum speed that is not greater than 150 kilometres per hour.

They state here that is illegal to import/sell/lease/purchase a car that isn't equipped with a speed limiter set to 150.

Duty of repairer

(3) No person who repairs or maintains a vehicle shall release the vehicle to another person unless the vehicle is equipped with a speed limiter that is engaged and set to a maximum speed that is not greater than 150 kilometres per hour.

They state here is it illegal to release a vehicle that has the limiter disengaged or to turn it off


Restriction on operation

(4) No person who owns a vehicle or leases a vehicle from another person shall operate the vehicle or allow it to be operated by another person unless it is equipped with a speed limiter that is engaged and set to a maximum speed that is not greater than 150 kilometres per hour.

they are saying here you cant operate one either, so saying it is my buddies car wont cut it

Application

(5) This section applies to vehicles manufactured on or after January 1, 2010 that are not fire-fighting vehicles, ambulances, police vehicles or other vehicles that are used for the purpose of emergency or vehicles that belong to a class of vehicles that is exempted from the application of this section by regulation.

they are saying here that certain vehicles are exempt

If it applies to all vehicles including law enforcement, then I'm all for it.

The fact is, they can not police hacking of limiter any more they can stopping people hacking xboxes.

so any new cars past 2010 will have cut off, but not older cars? And why can cops be exempt? They need it the most haha

Meh, you've got two years to figure it out.

I would 100% agree with you, until there is that 5 seconds on the highway when you need to punch it to save your life or others. Of course it's easy to argue " a good driver will never get himeself into that situation" but the reality is, that every so often, speed saves lives.

So why is 150 km/h the proposed limit? Why not limit it to 110 which is the highest posted speed on any highway in Canada. The answer is obvious, they WANT people to speed so they can continue collecting ticket revenue.

On his website, the MP says 150 is the speed at which a vehicle can be confiscated. Why on earth would that be a reason to set it to 150? Why not keep that person out of trouble and limit his/her vehicle to 110 km/h?

Everyone would be so much better off!

wrong quote?

From Karygiannis' website.
The good news is it looks like he is having problems finding enough support to bring the bill forward for debate.

Not a very high percentage do or need to, but my DD hits over 200kph on the front straight at Race City and if it couldn't go over 110 it would make track days pretty boring.

Do we really NEED cars that can accelerate to 100 in under 10 seconds, no. Do we want them, YES.

that is dumb.
but yes there would still be ways around such as removing said limit.

Forgot to add, now that we harmonized the bumper laws this idiot tries to fuck things over again by throwing up artificial trade barriers.

Not that this bill will go anywhere though...
