(14) Subject to subsections (14.1) and (15), no person shall use a lamp, other than the vehicular hazard warning signal lamps commonly known as four way flashers, that produces intermittent flashes of red light. R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, s. 62 (14); 2007, c. 13, s. 17 (1).


You may be correct, the info is not from me, but from a Metro bike cop, and an Ontario Ministry Of Transport Inspector - there is an exemption for motorcycles.

Apparently not in the HTA but in RSO amendment regs. somewhere.

Having said that, I have had a bottom red strip L.E.D. brake light strobe for almost 5 years on my FRS and have been checked several times by the tax collectors in uniform, and neither the countymounties nor doorshakers were bothered by it, including the ones who follow track cars while checking CPIC on their MDT's .
