In Canada if you register historic plates on a car it restricts you on what highways you can drive your car. No 400 series (4 lane) freeways with speeds over 80 KMPH. (50 MPH)

Yes the insurance is cheaper...but no thank you.

If your car is well maintained you should likely pass smog, but take JFP's advice.

Good luck sir.

Maybe in Ontario but that is not the case here in Manitoba. There are no use restrictions regarding roads or speeds that I can find in the legalize. If the car can do the speed limit, have at her. We don’t have freeways so that is a moot point but we do have 110kph along stretches of the Trans Canada Highway if you dare dodge the potholes and crevasse-like expansion joints.

Manitoba likely has the worst roads this side of Kazakhstan so speed reduction is a necessity not always the law.

Manitoba as well, and radar detectors are verboten!!! Saskatchewan and Alberta do not need front plates and I believe detectors are legal in both provinces. Manitoba may be in Western Canada but we got a whole lotta Ontario in our arcane laws.

I lived just outside Toronto for 28 years and I do miss your better roads and scenic drives and the access your freeways provide. Our only supposed 'freeway' the Winnipeg encircling 'Perimeter Highway' has at least 11 traffic light controlled intersections and they are adding more. What is supposedly a speedy way around the city amounts to stop and go frustration even in the lightest traffic conditions.

Sorry for high jacking this thread but Manitoba roads and our nanny road laws really get me pi$$ed off.

Don't apologize. You're making me feel better. I thought the roads were bad in PA
