"Quebec didn&amp;#039;t just ban stanced vehicles, but the province published an article on its government&amp;#039;s road safety website condemning the practice of &amp;quot;hellaflush.&amp;quot; Vehicle safety inspection regulations in Quebec already prohibit the types of mods that allow for stancing a car in the first place, but highlighting the term &amp;quot;hellaflush&amp;quot; brought the collection of regulations to broader attention\u2014and will likely cause big headaches when registrations come due on lowered cars in the province. For those with good French dictionaries and a love of regulatory language, you can see the actual regulations here. For example, the safety inspection regulations prohibit a suspension that allows contact between a tire and the body or chassis during normal use\u2014tough to comply with when a car is slammed, rolled fenders or not. Tires smaller than the minimum size specified by the vehicle manufacturer (or equivalent) are verboten\u2014although they can be larger if they don&amp;#039;t touch or interfere with any part of the body, suspension, or steering.  The bottom line: Quebec says these mods compromise vehicle safety and handling and points out that it could allow insurance companies to deny claims if, say, you bash up your slammed Scion and your policy-holder learns that you&amp;#039;ve stretched rubber-band tires over absurdly offset rims. They don&amp;#039;t like camber, and dialing a bunch in (which is part of the whole point of stancing) may mean the car fails a provincial safety inspection. If there&amp;#039;s a silver lining, it&amp;#039;s that there&amp;#039;s no indication that Quebec plans to to crush stanced cars upon sight. Reversing the mods should allow cars to be registered. And there&amp;#039;s no telling how strict the regulations will be in practice. If things get more Draconian in Quebec, we&amp;#039;ll let you know.   via Montreal Racing and Jalopnik "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
