V-1.3 - Act respecting off-highway vehicles
Section 61
Disposition versions
61. No person may operate a vehicle that is not equipped with a brake system sufficiently powerful to stop the vehicle quickly in case of emergency and hold the vehicle stationary. Any mechanism used to control the speed of a vehicle and stop the vehicle quickly, such as a hydrostatic transmission, is considered to be a brake system.
A peace officer who has reasonable grounds to believe that the brake system of a vehicle is defective or out of order may require that the vehicle be taken to an appropriate place and retained at the expense of the owner until the problem is corrected.
In force: 2020-12-30
