Defending Commercial Vehicle Operator Registration (CVOR) Charges

Persons, whether as a corporation or an individual, who are in a business which involves the ownership and operation of commercial trucks with a weight exceeding 4,500 kilograms must undertake the registration process known as Commercial Vehicle Operator's Registration (CVOR). Furthermore, such persons can potentially face distinct charges, independent of any driver-related accusations, for contraventions of the Highway Traffic Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, in addition to various other laws that concern those who use the road.

Common Issues

Typical CVOR concerns include vehicle fitness, overloading, insecure loadings, lackings within logbooks, improper or expiry of licensing, among other things, and all as additional to the charges against the commercial vehicle driver.  Charges against a CVOR may be laid by a police officer or an Ontario Ministry of Transportation ("MTO") officer for prosecution within the Ontario Court of Justice per the court rules and procedures prescribed within the Provincial Offences Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. P.33, including the regulations thereto.

Inspection Authority

Within the framework of the Highway Traffic Act, specifically under section 82.1, there are mandates governing the inspection of commercial vehicles. The mandates aim to ensure the safety and roadworthiness of commercial vehicles, protecting both the operators and the public. It is imperative for commercial vehicle operators and the vehicle drivers to comply with the inspection mandates that help to ensure the roadworthiness of commercial vehicles and thereby contribute to road safety.
