LEGALITY EXISTING LAWS OF ONTARIO
The legality of the Nolet Electric Cruiser has been obtained by reviewing references to the Ontario Highway Traffic Act, the Ontario Compulsory Automobile Insurance Act, the Off Road Vehicles Act, and Canada Case Law. In examing this issue, we have formed our opinion from speaking with representatives of the Ontario Provincial Police, and the Ministry of Transportation.
As well as these provincial representatives, the Traffic Ticket People also draw from their vast personal professional background as traffic officers with the Toronto Police Service.
The operator a Nolet Electric Cruiser does not require a driver's licence, or
licence plates under current Ontario Traffic Laws.
NOLET ELECTRIC CRUISER
1. Ontario Highway Traffic Act section 7(7) states the Ministry may issue a permit of any prescribed class, number plates and evidence of validation to any person who meets the requirements of this Act and the Regulations.
2. As of this date the Ontario Ministry of Transportation does not issue licences plate or permits to vehicles that fall under the class of wheelchair. Therefore even if one tried to register this vehicle the Ministry would not do so. Subsequently licence plates are not obtainable or required.
3. The Ontario Highway Traffic Act section 32(5) states that the Ministry issues drivers licences only to persons to operate motor vehicles that require licencing. As the Nolet Electric Cruiser falls into the class of "wheelchair" the operator is not required to have a drivers licence from the Ministry at this time.
4. The Ontario Highway Traffic Act states that for the purposes of section 144, dealing with intersections, that a person in a wheelchair is considered by law to be a pedestrian. Therefore while crossing the roadway at intersections the Nolet Electric Scooter does not require licencing. This is supported by Canadian Case Law in R. vs. Colabufalo [2001] O.J. No 2471.
5. The Nolet Electric Cruiser is an exempt vehicle under the Off Road Vehicles Act of Ontario.
Even if the operator of the Nolet Electric Cruiser personally did not fit the description under the above definition, the Ontario Ministry of Transportation at this point of time does not licence or require licencing for these types of vehicles.
Persons operating the Nolet Cruiser would not be permitted to operate these vehicles on controlled access highways e.g. Highway 401, 404, 407 Don Valley Parkway.
Purchasers should consider contacting their home insurance representatives to inquire about insurance requirements in regard to theft and liability concerns.
