Police Warn: LSV Not Allowed On Roads

The Thunder Bay Police Service (TBPS) continues to encounter low-speed vehicles on public roads.
 
Last weekend, a member of the Traffic Unit stopped two separate drivers of low-speed vehicles on public roads. The investigation revealed that the vehicles were uninsured and unregistered, and that one driver was unlicenced.
 
Both drivers were charged with failing to register and insure their low-speed vehicles.
 
TBPS reminds members of the community that low-speed vehicles are not allowed on public roadways or sidewalks in the city of Thunder Bay, and are subject to the rules of the Highway Traffic Act. This means low-speed vehicles are not an option for people who do not possess a valid Class G driver’s licence.
 
A low-speed vehicle is an electric, four-wheel vehicle that is smaller and lighter than a regular car and have a maximum speed of 40 kilometres per hour. Although many have safety features, they not meet the same safety standards as conventional motor vehicles.
