Rod: I think if you check into this and happen get a ticket, that provincial law will have precedent.

Here is another kicker, and you can check this one with a lawyer. Your truck has onboard equipment to which a computer can be connected. In the case of an accident, your driving speed, what you had turned on or off at time of accident, can be picked from your truck after the accident. Let us assume a car pulled out in front of you, all be it illegally. Let us assume, had you gotten stopped 10' sooner you would not have killed the guy. I'm guessing you better wish, every item of factory braking capacity of your truck was turned on, even though the other guy pulled out in front of you.

One accident like this, especially if the dead guy is well connected, and every Jake Brake law in the land will be ruled unconstitutional. Truckers are sitting on a time bomb with this one.
