Changes to Ontario Drive Clean law take effect September 1
August 31, 2011
Drive Clean, Ontario's mandatory vehicle emissions inspection and maintenance program, will change its testing requirements effective September 1, 2011. These changes will save drivers time and money, while continuing to protect the environment.
Please note the following changes, which apply to vehicles with registration expiring after September 1, 2011:
- Vehicles will need a test for registration renewal at seven years of age instead of five
- Light-duty vehicles no longer require a test for family transfers and lease buyouts by the lessee
- No test is required for license renewal if your light-duty vehicle passed the test in the previous calendar year
- Vehicles plated “Historic” no longer require testing
If your vehicle registration expires before September 1, 2011, the previous rules apply.
