Why
do Canadian vehicles require
daytime running lights?
On
December 1, 1989, Canada
became the second country
after Norway to require
daytime running lights (DRLs)
on all new passenger cars,
multi-purpose vehicles,
buses and trucks manufactured
for sale in Canada, in order
to increase visibility and
reduce collisions.
The combined effect of this
regulation and the voluntary
use of DRLs - in vehicles
not previously equipped
with them - has been an
estimated 11.3 per cent
reduction in daytime collisions
involving two passenger
cars, vans or light-duty
trucks travelling in different
directions.

How
do I determine if my car
meets Transport Canada's
regulations for importation?
Some vehicles from the United
States do not meet specific
Canadian safety requirements
and are therefore inadmissible
to Canada. However, there
are vehicles that can have
modifications made that
will allow them to be admitted
into Canada (for example
daytime running lights).
Transport Canada produces
a list of vehicles that
are admissible from the
United States. For a list
of these vehicles, contact
the Registrar of Imported
Vehicles at 1-888-848-8240.
