There’s a new class of three-wheeled vehicles (TWV) on Ontario roads and York Regional police want to make sure their drivers are aware of the rules regarding them.
TWVs are a distinct class of motor vehicle, separate from passenger vehicles, motor tricycles and motorcycles.
They a cross between a motorcycle and a car.
To legally drive a TWV drivers need a full G licence or higher.
“You cannot do your drivers licence test on this,” Staff Sgt. David Mitchell explained. “You need a motorcycle helmet to be operating one of these vehicles.”
Drivers with an ‘M’ class license alone are prohibited from operating a TWV under the pilot project.
Some of the other legislation regarding these vehicles includes:
Only federally-approved TWVs designed for on-road use are permitted to participate in the pilot. Current approved models include: Polaris Slingshot and Campagna Motors T-Rex 8
Current HTA rules of the road and penalties apply to the driver/vehicle owner
Participants in the pilot project are subject to Ontario’s mandatory seatbelt requirements and must use an approved motorcycle safety helmet
Passengers who are classified as an infant, toddler or pre-school to primary grade child are not permitted to ride in a TWV
TWVs are prohibited from being used for an MTO road test
Sidecars or trailers are not permitted to be affixed to a TWV
Drivers who do not obey the rules can be fined from $250 to $2,500.
