RHDs are ok to be safetied in Manitoba…. but dealerships are probably not the best place to go. You do need to swap the headlights so they say SAE or DOT, and the seatbelts too. MPI has backed off a bit on the requirements for non-headlight lighting.

I recently agreed to purchase a right hand drive Toyota that is currently registered in MB, and had been imported from Japan several years back.

The owner took the vehicle to a local Toyota dealership to get safetied and to his dismay, was told that MPI had changed the “rules” in the last 3 weeks and right hand drive vehicles could no longer be safetied. As such, he could continue driving it, but could not sell it! Understandably, the owner is very upset – I in turn am very disappointed.

Nonetheless, I’m hoping to speak with MPI to determine if this is in fact their position. Any insight you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Best, Cor
