According to the CBC, the Canadian province of Quebec is saying “No way, Jose” to importing right-hand drive cars for six months. Even though there are 3,000 RHD cars on the roads and none of them have been faulted for anything, the province’s insurance board wants to investigate the safety of such vehicles. The official line is that “they don’t always meet Transport Canada safety standards.” Perhaps the genuine reason will be known soon, but we’re guessing that safety nannies will point to their comparative danger when passing vehicles on single-lane roads.<\/p>\n

For now, the board is going to consult accident reports and ask around before lifting the ban. No more Japanese gray imports for you Quebecois in the meantime.<\/p>\n
