Quote:

Is that all he sent or did he send the whole section???
Because if he only sent that, then I have a severe problem with his creditablity.
If u read the whole section of that part of the HTA it is referring to
Commercial Motor Vehicle. Here's the whole part of that section:
Quote:
Inspections, unsafe vehicles
82. (1) In this section,
“commercial motor vehicle” has the same meaning as in subsection 16 (1); (“véhicule utilitaire”)
“operator” means,
(a) the person directly or indirectly responsible for the operation of a commercial motor vehicle, including the conduct of the driver of, and the carriage of goods or passengers, if any, in, the commercial motor vehicle or combination of vehicles, and
(b) in the absence of evidence to the contrary, where no CVOR certificate, as defined in subsection 16 (1), or lease applicable to the commercial motor vehicle, is produced, the holder of the plate portion of the permit for the commercial motor vehicle. (“utilisateur”) 1999, c. 12, Sched. R, s. 14.

So basically they are referring to work trucks (ie. transport trucks and cube vans and such).
I can't believe he actually tried to pawn that section off as a legitiment reason to search our
personal motor vehicles.
Unless I'm not understanding the HTA correctly, the guy that wrote u that letter is an ass.
