We will highlight a section of the provincial statutes, which include the Motor Vehicle Act, Liquor Control Act, Off Road Vehicle Act or Criminal Code.

I hope the public we serve find these articles informative and interesting. Thank you to the Miramichi Leader for providing the opportunity for District 6 to provide this information.

Tip of the week: Motor Vehicle Act

30(1) Registration plates issued for a motor vehicle other than a motorcycle, when two are issued, shall be attached thereto, one in the front and the other in the rear, and the registration plate issued for a motorcycle or other vehicle required to be registered here under, when only one is issued, shall be attached to the rear thereof: but, when one plate only is issued for a truck tractor, it shall be attached to the front thereof.

30(2) Every registration plate shall at all times be securely fastened to the vehicle for which it is issued so as to prevent the plate from swinging and at a height of not less than 30 centimetres from the ground measuring from the bottom of such plate, in a place and position to be clearly visible and shall be maintained free from foreign materials and in a condition to be clearly legible to a person on the highway in front or in rear of the vehicle as the case may be.

In plain language: A car or truck must have two plates on it, front and rear. They must be secured properly and not have anything covering them such as smoked or coloured covers over the plate.

Please drive and stay safe
