Equipment

QUESTION: I live in Vancouver and My friends and I are thinking of going to the Clayoquot Oyster Festival in Tofino in late November, but I remember the Pacific Rim Highway was signposted "use winter tires or carry chains between October and April". I have tried asking many car rental companies and none of them have winter tires, and could not confirm winter tires availability for November. Do you know what we could do in this case?

Question: I am wondering if you could shed some light on police issuing an inspection order to vehicles. I own a 1990 Nissan 240SX that usually gets 1-3 vehicle inspection orders a year. The orders are usually box 1's but I get the occasional box 2.

Most of the people on my RV forum have moved from ST to LT trailer tires. They claim these tires have a higher reserve load capacity, better construction and much lower failure rate. The failure rate of ST tires appears to be substantially higher.

I am wondering about the rules for making vehicle modifications. There are many custom trucks and 4x4s of all sorts on the highway with big tires and lift kits. I would like to modify a vehicle by building custom control arms.

My question is concerning mudflaps and spray diffusers, or the lack of them.

The case of Schurmann v Hoch arises from a collision that occurred at dusk in rainy weather. Mr. Schurmann was attempting to turn out of a parking lot onto the highway when he was struck by the vehicle Mr. Hoch (a GLP driver) was operating. Mr. Hoch had failed to turn on his headlights.

Question: I was pulled over for no doors on my Jeep and i also had too much of my tires sticking out of the fenders. I was given a vehicle inspection order #2 and to have it done within 30 days. I did as the officer requested putting my doors on and bought wider fender flares.

Question: I was just given a warning about my headlights . I recently installed a yellow protective film over my headlights and I was under the impression that all forward facing lights are to be white or amber . The only info I can find is for height and power. Any help would be great.

Question: Would you research the legality of driving (especially at night) with more than two headlights on when on low beam ? I drive truck at night and more and more people are driving with four lights on and calling them low beam lights. They are very bright to oncoming traffic and these idiots WILL NOT turn them off !!!
