latest on the new Safety Cert Drive On program...

If anyone is looking for a dodgy last minute safety, Harmanveer Singh Dandiwal has some forms to use up. Only $400 and he doesn't need to see the vehicle.

There will definitely be some benefits to DriveON (although not for Harmanveer).


"Few papers left before rules changes Dm me your ownership and car kilometers"
 
That's 1 up on Teddy
 
Had a word with a mechanic on the new safety's and his biggest takeaway was that the MTO is trying to recruit a bunch of new warm bodies if anybody thinks that they meet the qualifications now would be a good time to get a resume off to the MTO.
 
I asked my local mechanic about certifying my recently purchased 1982 BMW. I take my truck to him and he has certified a couple bikes for me over the years. He said no problem. It just takes a bit more time (and money) and is done on the tablet.
 
Scammers will always find away around a system.
Yes but it should be almost trivial for MTO to quickly clean things up. The guy in the report found a specific vehicle with a bad safety. That should immediately trigger a review upon reporting it. If his complaint is substantiated (either a review of the submitted information or MTO inspection of the truck), the original shop and mechanic should be kicked from the program. Done. Put the fear of god in them and others will fall in line or be quickly drummed out.

"Should be" indeed. I love your optimism.

I'm hoping it's optimism anyway, and not naivety... Because when I think about the government's effectiveness and their history of laziness, incompetence, and things getting tied up in bureaucracy and lost in the shuffle... I skew towards pessimism...
