MOTOR VEHICLE LAW
Canada is a country of vast distances, most of which are traversed by motor vehicle. This topic
concerns the law as it applies to these vehicles (cars, trucks, motorcycles, etc.). It is a matter of
mostly provincial jurisdiction, by way of the various provincial highway traffic codes. There is
some federal involvement, however, in that there are number of offences in the Criminal Code
that deal with the operation of a motor vehicle (e.g., dangerous operation at section 249, oper-
ation while impaired at section 253, and failure to remain at the scene of an accident at section
252). Most of the titles under this topic deal with motor vehicle related crimes. Related topics:
CRIMINAL LAW, INSURANCE LAW, NEGLIGENCE, TRANSPORTATION LAW.
VÉHICULES AUTOMOBILES
L’immensité du pays explique en grande partie l’usage de l’automobile. Ce domaine juridique
qui couvre les véhicules (autos, motos, camions), est principalement de juridiction provinciale.
Certaines infractions graves sont bien entendu du domaine criminel cf. aa. 249, 252 et 253 C.
Cr. relatifs à la conduite dangereuse, avec facultés affaiblies ou l’omission de demeurer sur les
lieux d’un accident. La plupart des ouvrages cités ice concernent ces aspects. Voir aussi : CRI-
MINEL (DROIT) ; ASSURANCES ; RESPONSABILITÉ CIVILE et TRANSPORTS (DROIT DES).
