can anyone direct me to a site that shows laws for modified vehicles and after market parts?

Alberta Highway Traffic Act

http://www.canlii.org/ab/laws/sta/h-8/20030217/whole.html

You'll have to search through it quite a bit, but it should all be in there

 

[killboyy777]

thx for quick response.

so is a roll pan legal? I mean it still "act's" as a bumper right?

 

[AmberFireDaK]

No person shall install or alter a bumper on a passenger car
unless the design of the bumper is equivalent to, and the bumper is
mounted in substantially the same manner as, the bumper installed
by the manufacturer of the passenger car.

You might get away with it but if it came down to it, a roll pan would be considered illegal since it's not attached to the frame like the OE bumper.

What you could do is build a steel sub frame for the roll pan that will bolt to the frame like the stock bumper. Then your roll pan would just be a cover.... You should be able to fight a ticket then

No person shall alter a passenger car so that the main
structural component of a bumper is more than 50 centimetres or
less than 40 centimetres above ground level when the passenger car
is unloaded.

You can't even lower your truck a lot... if at all :rant:

Subject to this section, no person shall place or install in a
motor vehicle a transparent, translucent or opaque material on or in
place of the
(a) windshield glazing, or
(b) side window glazing that is beside or forward of the driver
on the right and left hand side of the motor vehicle.

And you can't have any tint on the driver or passenger front windows :cussing: Remind me not to move to Alberta

"No person shall alter a passenger car so that the main

WTF??? Does this apply to trucks? or just cars? cause if trucks...I know my truck is higher than 50 cm stock...lol

We aren't even supposed to have exhaust pipes that are widened at the end....

Thread from the dead!! As stated in the bold, its refers to passenger cars. Trucks are not included. In Alberta, because its know as "truck country" most trucks aren't touched because they would be handing out tickets left right and center. Rollpans may not be legal, but they won't bother you about it .

I always thought alberta was more lax then B.C. I go to calgary and see huge ass trucks and everything from there has tinted driver and passenger windows that Ive seen..... I guess you really do learn somthing new every day haha.

 

[1999dakota]

well i guess ill revive this thread haha, i wouldn't even follow the laws. i live in calgary, my car windows all are tinted limo black except the windshield, have gotten stopped and they didn't say anything also my car is low enough you cant fit your shoe under the bumper, and can only fit 3 creditcards between the tire and fender, so they arnt so picky on the laws lol.

 

[diesel dakota]

Around here are slack as fuck. I'm running a twin turbo diesel Dakota with a downpipe dump exhaust.
They don't actually enforce any laws besides loud exhaust and tint front windows. Everything is considered illegal but nothing is enforced

 

[bruizer28]

In fort mcmurray they usually go on a big spree in the spring, ticketing exhaust, tint, and mud flaps. but other than that usually they will only say something if they pull you over for some other reason such as speeding. I think exhaust tickets will get harder to give out after that biker in edmonton beat his ticket in court. unless the cops are gonna start using db meters.

 

[AKD]

Same with diesel dakota. Slack especially with trucks.

Stock windshield, seat belts & exhaust has to exit behind the cab.

Tint depends on the cop. Noise .... If you not going waaaaaaaaa in crowed places your fine.
