Re: [Rant] Why the *** are you commuting in a backhoe? said by peterboro:You unilaterally introduced section 132 where as section 76 and Regulation 616 are the appropriate authority. Section 76 only applies to who must display the symbol and the O.Reg defines what the symbol must look like and how visible it must be. Section 132 has to do with driving unnecessarily slow to the point of obstructing traffic. It provides no exception for vehicles displaying a slow speed triangle in accordance with Section 76. Therefore, my unilateral introduction after PX Eliezer's comment and my request for clarification was more than appropriate in the context of this discussion. |

I've always wondered if Section 7 applies. I never see number plates on these vehicles. |

You said it was perfectly legal for a slow moving vehicle displaying the slow moving triangle to hold up traffic on a public highway, whereas Section 132 would indicate otherwise regardless of a slow moving sign being affixed to a vehicle in accordance with Section 76 - unless it's a road service vehicle, of course. |

The definition of “motor vehicle” does not include a backhoe which is by definition a roadbuilding machine and as such section 132 of the HTA is not engaged.
Now as to the strict interpretation of my post, no you cannot affix a triangle thing to anything that does meet the definition of a “motor vehicle” and breach section 132 of the HTA with impunity. |
