Use Google translate if you don't speak French!
Here is a rough translation:
Hellaflush is a practice of cosmetic modifications that comes to the detriment of handling and road holding capabilities which consist of:
Lowering the suspension of the vehicleInstalling oversized and offset wheels (offset greater than of the stock wheels)Installing tires too narrow for the wheels (tire stretching).
These modifications,that affect the geometry of the vehicles suspension, are generally observed by the presence of exaggerated negative camber. This is an overview of the principals of hellaflush and the reason this practice is prohibited.
Hey Quebec! Let's pass a law that is
1. Poorly researched and loosely defined
2. Has no scientific or statistically significant basis
3. Is able to be arbitrarily enforced
4. Unfairly penalizes lowered cars and not ALL cars with altered suspension geometry (looking at you lifted brotrucks)
I am SO HAPPY I don't live in Quebec right now especially after they banned RHD imports...
YES some people do the hellaflush thing dangerously, YES they should be off the road but this law is SO OPEN to POOR interpretation that any aftermarket wheel could be ticketed!
DISCUSS. :x
