Anyone know the provincial law in BC for driving on the roads with the doors off?

thanks

If your jeep came with doors from the factory, you need to keep them on. On the other hand I see a load of TJ's etc rolling around with their doors off. Your gamble. Check the many posts over on bc4x4.com

I live in Victoria and I've been driving with the doors off for 12 years and never had any problems. and I've been through many road blocks and even pulled over a couple of times.

Yeah, it's really up to the cop if he gives you a ticket or not, or even if they know the correct law themselves. I know a bunch of people on the mainland that have been ticketed for not having doors :( so it's up to you if u want to risk a VI or not.

Here's a good thread on the whole issue.

doors or no doors law? - BB.BC4x4.COM

Bottom line on the whole thing is that:
a) 1986 and later, all jeeps were factory fitted with doors and you "could" be ticketed if you haven't got them on (original equip ... blah blah blah)
b) cj's and previous, doors were optional and you "could" still be ticketed if said cop wants to push things to the point where you have to prove that "your" jeep didn't have them from factory
c) then there's the whole "define doors" debate ;0)

I run without any time I want and have never had a problem with the constabulary - but then, sometimes grey hair buys ya a little leeway ;0) Not saying it's right, just saying I enjoy not being hassled as much as the young'uns around here.

My friend is 18 and has a CJ and when he got pulled over for No doors he drove away with a warning

Warnings can result in inspections....
Don't necessarily want that.

I have the same question but for Alberta. It is my understanding that as long as you have your mirros re-mounted to the frame there shouldn't be any problems.

My doors are coming off this summer. Everyone else around here does it.
It won't be an issue unless I run into some crazy renegade cop.
Low profile is the way to go.

have your mirrors re-mounted to the frame ...is all you need in Alberta and as far as I know in BC as well...
