Vehicle Decal (wording)
Hey guys & gals!
This is my first post with ontariohighwaytrafficact.com!
I am part of an non-profit organization which has many functions but mainly deals with crime prevention/crime watch. I wanted to get some advice before I decided to do anything because I want to avoid any possible tickets and/or negative interactions with law enforcement.
Since it is all volunteer we use our own personal vehicles to go to and from volunteer events, and some of us use our personal vehicles to drive around now and then, basically be the eyes and ears of law enforcement, and report anything we see.
So to get to my question,
Would it be illegal to put wording on my personal vehicle to the effect of "Emergency Response" or just " Response Unit".
I am fully aware that being part of an organization like such does not give me any authority to break any HTA laws and regulations, and this would solely be for visual purposes, just to identify my vehicle. I would also be pairing those words with the organization name, phone number etc.
If anyone has an idea on this, could you please include specific Reg numbers or offences. I do not need personal opinions, as I have already got both positive and negative thoughts against putting markings on my personal vehicle, although I am a full time member with this organization and I take what we do seriously as we have a significant impact on crime in the areas that we target.
Furthermore, if it is deemed unfit to put those wordings on personal vehicles, does anyone have any neat suggestions on what I can place on there to replace that?
Thank you everyone!
Adam.
