| |filename = LSLAPManualcover.png | | Motor vehicle law in BC is governed by several different pieces of legislation. This section briefly outlines these sections, and more information on the operation of this legislation is contained throughout the chapter. |
| |title = ''LSLAP Manual''<br/> (40th Edition) | | |
| }} {{Export_Badge_LSLAP_Manual | | == A. Motor Vehicle Act == |
| |SavedBookName = LSLAP_Manual | | |
| | The [http://www.bclaws.ca/EPLibraries/bclaws_new/document/ID/freeside/96318_00 ''Motor Vehicle Act'', RSBC 1996, c 318], or “''Motor Vehicle Act''”, is the primary piece of provincial legislation (law) that creates offences related to operating a motor vehicle in British Columbia. The ''Motor Vehicle Act'' is a lengthy act, and it is not possible to provide a complete summary of all of its provisions in this chapter. This chapter endeavours to provide a summary of the most common ''Motor Vehicle Act'' issues, and to provide resources for further research. |
| | |
| | == B. Other Provincial Acts/ Regulations == |
| | |
| | * The [http://www.bclaws.ca/civix/document/id/complete/statreg/96338_01 ''Offence Act'', RSBC 1996, c 338] provides a general procedure for handling all provincial offences. |
| | * The [http://www.bclaws.ca/EPLibraries/bclaws_new/document/ID/freeside/26_58_00 ''Motor Vehicle Act Regulations'', BC Reg 26/58], and the [http://www.bclaws.ca/Recon/document/ID/freeside/89_97_01 ''Violation Ticket Administration and Fines Regulation'', BC Reg 89/97], detail penalties for specific offences. |
| | * Motor vehicle law intersects with the [http://www.bclaws.ca/civix/document/id/complete/statreg/96231_01 ''Insurance (Vehicle) Act'', RSBC 1996, c 231] and [http://www.bclaws.ca/EPLibraries/bclaws_new/document/ID/freeside/447_83_00 ''Insurance (Vehicle) Regulation'', BC Reg 447/83]. For more information, see [[Introduction to ICBC Automobile Insurance (12:I) | Chapter 12: Automobile Insurance]]. |
| | |
| | == C. Criminal Code == |
| | |
| | The [https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/C-46/ ''Canadian Criminal Code'', RSC 1985, c C-46], is the federal legislation that sets out most of the criminal offences in Canada, in ss 320.11 to ss. 320.4. The ''Criminal Code'' sets out several criminal offences related to driving, details of which are set out later in this chapter. Further information on criminal offences and procedures in general can be found in [[Introduction_to_Criminal_Law_(1:I) | Chapter 1: Criminal Law]]. |
| | |
| | It is worth noting, as discussed above, that there is significant overlap between the ''Criminal Code'' driving offences and the ''Motor Vehicle Act''. In appropriate circumstances, the Crown may stay the proceedings under federal (criminal) legislation if the accused is prepared to plead guilty to a corresponding or similar charge under provincial legislation. This is often in the accused’s best interest if the Crown has a strong case as no criminal record will result upon conviction of a provincial offence. |
