Jim Warman Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 As I've mentioned in the past, there are several government mandated inspections that I perform as part of my job... In this past week, I received word from Alberta Infrastructure that the have redesigned the manual I use to direct Out of Province inspections. Some back ground... the OoP inspection is for any motor vehicle (other than brand new) that wasn't registered in the province of Alberta last year. If it was an Alberta car the year before that but was registered elsewhere last year... it is time for an inspection. Anyway... when I say the manual was redesigned, I mean they threw it away and started from scratch. While more up to date and (in some areas) a bit streamlined... it covers more ground (but, as far as emissions tampering is concerned, it is either lacking or open-ended) and addresses more conditions that were left to our discretion (a bad thing in a legal document). One of the changes was to make an electronic copy of the manual available for free and on line. I offer, for your reading pleasure, THIS web page. From here you can access the manual I must use. If you notice, down the left side of the page are several links... These direct us to information that we "SHOULD" know. I am sure that many of you have, like me, encountered motor vehicles that have no business being on the road... I can only offer this in reply. Vehicles that are bad enough must be removed from our compound using a tow truck... once the owner gets it out into the street, it is out of my hands. For those that will offer an anonymous phone call to the authorities... there is little sense in wasting your time - or did anyone think the cops never get "anonymous tips" from disgruntled neighbours? If you are going to give your name and number for one of these 'tips'.... be prepared to appear in court and swear, under oath, that what you said was true...

Aaron Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Cool, looks like a good read! And in trade, I offer you this: Highway Traffic Act -- Regulation 611, Ontario. Our Ontario inspection guidelines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
