Ban HIDs, Ban hellashit, custom plates... I can finally say they are doing something right.

What are you saying, there IS a tax for bigger engines. Here's the sum of my plate when I had the Viper:
300$ plate
162$ big engine tax
75$ transport tax (Montreal residents)
For a juicy total of 537$ to plate ONE car. And I have a second car so I was up for like 900$ for a year of driving in Montreal.

Imagine. Now I have a brand new shiny red BRZ and my insurance is $158/month with Bel Air. Damn assholes not insuring cars over 20 years old... I also live in an extremely rural area, so it's cheaper anyways. I had the cheapest rate for my Civic. I'm also 23, so I'm young, however like I said, no claims or tickets and I've been driving since I was 16.

While I do not necessarily support localherostanced cars, I think this issue should have been on the bottom of their priority list for the following reasons:
1. People with such modifications tend to care more about their recognition in the social media networks rather than driving AND drive slower than elderly women drive a Buick Regal. I have yet to hear about a case where an accident involving death has occurred due to exaggerated suspension/wheel modifications.
2. Our roads are falling apart, our highways merges are falling apart, our traffic system and road signs/markers/splitters/paint are shit.
3. People just can't drive. Every time I come into this province, and have driven a car abroad I realize how dangereous some drivers are to themselves and the people around them. I am not talking about turn signals alone but general highway etiquette and awareness. People are clueless, can't see shit and do not understand what sharing the road with others is.
If the emphasis was put on strong driving experience and knowledge, our roads would be a safe and pleasant experience, but hey, we all realize they're in it for the money so easy cash crab schemes such as this one is put in place.
Again I am not a supporter of hellacamber/oversized wheels/condom stretch tires, but the people that are all for this SAAQ movement fail to see beyond their noses: this is a slippery slope which, like any other scenario leads to exaggeration and soon a shiny muffler tip that isn't OEM will bring you to an inspection garage...

I woulnt mind EMISSION TEST. Im tired of seeing douche bags in old TDi's, maintained poorly. When they accelerate, you see a HUGE cloud of black smoke. How can that shit be still on the road.

I've been hearing about emission testing and inspections for 10 years... I am not worried about it as it will cost shit tons of money to implement, they will also have to let independent shops in on the action. Ontario is heavily considering dropping the drive clean program as it cost's too much money for nothing. They have already lowered the drive clean fee.
