Drive Clean scrapped in Ontario
As of April 1st, the program was dropped for cars and light duty vehicles. The farce is finally gone.

I'm really hoping this isn't some extremely delayed April fools joke... If it isn't then wow rationality wins out for once.
And this also opens the flood gates to engine swaps galore

Just googled it and as I thought and read earlier they simply dropped the fee and you no longer require a passed e test to sell a car in Ontario.
Not sure where you read that is was scrapped completely...

Article in the local paper today. Guess I read it too quickly. Reread and yes, it is just the fee dropped. Article was titled 'Ontario pulls the plug on Drive Clean program'. Well at least we are paying anymore.

Oh we'll pay, it'll be hidden in another fee as it usually is. Sort of like how people love to state our healthcare is "free" nothing further from the truth to those that run numbers and know what hospital visits and preventable surgeries cost... But I digress
Hopefully it will eventually be fully scrapped like they did in bc based off of studies showing it lacked effectiveness. Ontario loves to throw rationale out the window and try to do things their own way...clearly they haven't learned their way is usually worse than a proven way another province it doing it

I was really exciting for a second. But I've never really had a problem with passing. Even used to pass on my first Megasquirt vehicle which was a daily driver. Its still a pain to get the test.
This will be my first OBDII compliant vehicle and I just remembered it has to drive a certain amount of time before it can pass right? I better not disconnect the battery. |
