I believe it was the Michaud case where a judge acknowledged in Ontario court that speed limiters put truck drivers at risk but he said the benefit to the motoring public outweighed the risk to drivers. In my mind when a worker is put at risk this is at very least, a workplace safety issue and possibly a charter of rights issue. Especially when there is no evidence to suggest that speed limiters have done anything to make cars safer.

Just use some epoxy to glue your ELD into the diagnostic port. That way, they can't plug in their little checker tool.

As the above poster said, it is unconstitutional but they let the law stand anyway.
"Justice Lauwers....... found that a highway speed regulation did infringe section 7 of the Charter, but found it to be justified under section 1. The Supreme Court of Canada (“SCC”) has never found a section 7 infringement justified under section 1........................—Michaud marks the first case where a section 7 infringement is found justified under section 1,"
