I was talking with one of my friends, and the thought came up that shaved handles are illegal, we live in B.C. Canada. Can anyone validate or dismiss this?

Thanks for any and all info!

Yes, it is 100% illegal to have shaved handles in BC. That is UNLESS you have also wired a manual release that is accessable from the outside. IE: a cable pull attached to the door handle on the inside and wired into the front inner fender area. As far as a fine goes, my guess without looking at the Provincial MVA, would be a $173 fine + a VI, + a possible impound and tow charge. So, if you are going to do this, go to the local RCMP detachment or Motor Vehicle Inspection Facility. ( there is usually a Inspector found at weigh scales as well).

PS, I am in BC. (soon to be RCMP as well, I hope).

That's my opinion. Take it, leave it, or correct me.
