P-30.3 - Act respecting owners, operators and drivers of heavy vehicles

Section 48.1 Disposition versions

2006-01-01

48.1. A print-out of a computer file held by the Société concerning the registration of a heavy vehicle or a driver’s licence, or of a computer file held by the Commission concerning the Register of Owners and Operators of Heavy Vehicles, is admissible as proof of the identity of the driver, owner or operator of a heavy vehicle in proceedings instituted under this Act, the Highway Safety Code (chapter C‐24.2) or the Transport Act (chapter T‐12), provided it bears the attestation of an inspector or peace officer to the effect that he or she actually made the print-out and that it originates from the Société or the Commission.

In the case of a heavy vehicle registered by another administrative authority, a computer-file print-out from that authority has the same probative force as that referred to in the first paragraph.

A copy of a document used to identify the driver, owner or operator of a motorized heavy vehicle and bearing the attestation of an inspector or peace officer to the effect that he or she made the copy, is admissible as proof in any proceedings instituted under this Act, the Highway Safety Code or the Transport Act without it being necessary to prove the authenticity of the signature or the official capacity of the signatory; in the absence of evidence to the contrary, such a copy has the probative force of an original document filed as evidence in the usual manner.
