My EV is completely, 100% legal in every way.....except how fast it was going. (I am in the USA, and meet all the requirements in my state.)
I DO disagree with what the speed limit was there. (Rich people area/speed trap.)
When I told the police officer that I didn't even have an engine in the car, he didn't even batt an eyelash.
I ended up going to traffic court, and the Judge there decided that there should be a newspaper article on it. (I wasn't about to say NO to a judge!)
The article ended up starting off about my speeding ticket, but most of the rest of the article was about the efficiency of the car, the environmental, and cost-saving benefits, and all the other positives around EVs.
It was good, positive, publicity for EVs.
Maybe our Canadian friends need to stage some sort of "silent protest" where they idle their motors in front of the capital!
