Motor Vehicle Safety Act

The Motor Vehicle Safety Act is a national law in Canada that sets standards to ensure vehicles on the road are safe for drivers, passengers, and pedestrians. It requires manufacturers to follow specific rules when designing, building, and testing vehicles, as well as reporting safety issues. The goal is to reduce accidents, injuries, and deaths by ensuring vehicles meet strict safety criteria. Transport Canada oversees these regulations, conducts inspections, and can mandate recalls if safety problems are found. Overall, the Act helps maintain high safety standards across all road vehicles in Canada.
