The RHD is one of the last questions on the Survey, but the entire thing only took me like 5mins to do

Wow. I'll have to vote no when on a PC later today... so RHD vehicles should warrant higher insurance premiums as a result, but not be banned almost entirely. The US has the 25 year rule, hopefully it doesn't pass into Canada as well. That would reallt suck for a LOT of current JDM owners

I wonder how many people think its ridiculous to ban/restrict RHD vehicles but want to ban/restrict guns based on arbitrary features.
Sounds pretty stupid... Make them pay through the nose for insurance if they are so dangerous but i don't see why they should be banned... And throw the book at them when they crash for being idiots...
Cars don't cause crashes, people do!
I cant help but draw all the similarities to these two issues...

I am so glad this is happening, it is about time. I am voting for the antique rule...because I personally hate RHD cars. I used to marvel at the sight of a last gen Supra, now it is RHD 90% of the time and I just shake my head. In fact, the only reason I'm voting for the antique rule is because I would still like to see some R34 GTR's at shows and the track etc.

Of course, a perfectly good explanation is boring, so the answer is, it's fucking voodoo.
Anyone else find it weird "Alberta Transportation" is using surveymonkey, and there's not a single link or mention about it on their website?

but then again i would implore them to use a free tool rather than pay a few 6 figure union workers to design their own system over 2 years...
If its fake then someone is going to feel the business end of the long dick of the law for impersonating the government haha...
I had followed a link originally from cfcn or cbc on their website from a story on how to make roads safer. I voted antique rule though...Originally posted by Tik-Tok

Unfortunately I think the survey results will be vastly in favour of banning them, given that 99.9% of people don't have any interest in RHD cars being on the road.
Fortunately I think Alberta Transport will disregard the survey results in favour of keeping the status quo. I mean if they do ban them, what are their options? Grandfather in all the current cars and then there's still a shitload of RHD cars out on the roads or pay out all the owners at very large taxpayer expense?
They can do whatever they want. They wont pay the owners. They will just fine them if they are every caught on a public street.Originally posted by Sentry

Nothing illegal about have a rhd car in your garage / back yard (private property)...
Unless of course they make owning a rhd car a criminal offense... That is a bit different.
Though they can still legally do what they want.

If that were the case I'd strip anything of value from my Aristo and leave the husk on Alberta Transport's front lawn.
I don't know how that got there, and it's not mine. It's just a worthless unregisterable hunk of metal.
I wonder how much of the 32-40% crash rate is due to the driver driving like an ass. I'm not sure if its just me but every time i see a RHD its being driven my a young white male.

I would support no longer bringing them in, but I think it would be unfair to current owners to severely restrict them. Perhaps grandfather the ones already in the country, and let them die off from age.
^Probably quite a bit has to do with younger people being able to get their hand on cheap, relatively powerful, turbo cars from Japan. A turbo Supra from Japan is much cheaper than it's NA equivalent so younger people are more likely to get it. The trifecta of RHD, young driver, and power is bound to result in more accidents than in everyone got an aging Tercel as their first car.
That's another issue for sure. Go to any highschool parking lot and you're bound to see a Silvia or 180sx or Skyline, all with RWD and upwards of 200-300hp depending on model.
My first TWO cars were a Geo Metro and a Pontiac Firefly with like 50hp. Started from the bottom now we're here.
Fastest car in my highschool lot was a mostly stock 5.0L foxbody.
I voted to no longer allow them to be registered. I wouldn't support taking any existing ones away though, just let them run their course.

I'm a bit conflicted here. On one hand, I have no use or love for anything RHD. But by the same token, the douche kid driving like an asshat is going to drive like that no matter what he's in. He's going to crash his mommy's mini-van just the same so why ban the car? Haters gonna hate, douchey kid's gonna douche.

They are simply not designed for our road system. I voted restrict.
