Understanding the Importance of Defending Against Charges Upon a Commercial Vehicle Operator Registration (CVOR)
For commercial use vehicles weighing more than 4,500 kilograms, the owners and operators must register to obtain a Commercial Vehicle Operator’s Registration
(CVOR). In addition to driving offence charges that a driver may incur, the owners and operators may become subjected to separate legal actions for violations of the Highway Traffic Act, and a myriad of other statutes relevant to road users.
Common Issues
Common CVOR-related issues involve the state of the vehicle, overloading, poorly secured cargo, deficiencies in logbooks, improper or expired licenses, and other infractions. The charges associated with CVOR can be filed by a police officer or an Ontario Ministry of Transportation (“MTO”) officer. These charges are then processed in the Ontario Court of Justice following the prescribed procedures as outlined in the Provincial Offences Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. P.33, including its associated regulations.
Inspection Authority
Within the framework of the Highway Traffic Act, specifically under section 82.1, there are mandates governing the inspection of commercial vehicles. The mandates aim to ensure the safety and roadworthiness of commercial vehicles, protecting both the operators and the public. It is imperative for commercial vehicle operators and the vehicle drivers to comply with the inspection mandates that help to ensure the roadworthiness of commercial vehicles and thereby contribute to road safety.
