I've been to Ontario and Quebec around 7-8 times this year. I was weighed once at the scale in Lancaster but never bothered otherwise. Came in behind a truck at the London super coop EB late one night and they pulled him in for an inspection and left the green light on for me.
I figured my luck ran dry then so I stay out of sight whenever possible now and just drive a bit under the speed limit.

Ontario in recent years stopped checking the ecm, but if they caught you speeding over 105 they just automatically gave a speed limiter ticket.
With some of the spectacular crashes they have had lately, I hear they are getting fussy about it again.rank Thanks this. -

yea most people i know here have that file that shows limited 105 unless you "open it up". Cheap thing to do.

1. Still have to prove it was me they radared
2. Speed limiters dont do squat downhill
3. Still have to follow all the radar rules etc -
I think we all agree that speed limiter laws are unconstitutional but Ontario and Quebec do what ever they want.
On also has street racing legislation and if anybody including US citizens are caught 50 kph 30 mph over the limit your vehicle is seized
Even if you beat the charge and lots do it still costs at least $2000.so you lose anyway -
I never saw in our constitution an issue about speed limiters.
Canada, as great as a country it is, they make their own rules. -
I know someone who was up outside of Montreal last fall that received a $500 fine after they plugged in during an inspection. It was governed at 70 mph
rank Thanks this. -
In conversations like this saying up in Canada is NOT correct.. each province is free to make their own rules. same as in the US states are allowed toLepton1 Thanks this.
