regulations amending the motor vehicle safety regulations standards 106 108 114 122 and 217 this amendment introduces minor modifications to the motor vehicle safety regulations hereafter referred to as the regulations to clarify update and correct the existing regulations. also it re-enacts three sections of the regulations to extend their application beyond their current expiration dates. this ensures that the safety requirements contained in these sections will not cease to have the force and effect of law before upcoming amendments to these safety standards. a modification to section 106 brake hoses of schedule iv of the regulations corrects the classes of vehicles to which this safety standard applies. section 106 applies to most classes of motor vehicles that are regulated under the authority of the motor vehicle safety act including all motorcycle sub-classes enclosed open limited-speed and motor tricycle and not only to enclosed motorcycles as was the case in the regulations prior to this amendment. it also applies to trailers and trailer converter dollies but does not apply to low speed vehicles. it appears that the applicability was overlooked and omitted when section 106 was last amended. these corrections to the applicability of section 106 now make this section consistent with schedule iii of the regulations which correctly indicates the classes of vehicle to which section 106 applies. in addition the following sections which currently expire january 1 2010 are re-enacted by this amendment to the regulations section 108 lighting system and retroreflective devices of schedule iv subsections 114 1 114 2 and 114 3 of section 114 theft protection and rollaway prevention of schedule iv and section 122 motorcycle brake systems of schedule iv. this ensures that the safety requirements contained in these sections through incorporation of technical standard documents will not cease to have the force and effect of law before the next substantive amendments planned to these sections are proposed and published. the new expiry date of these sections is january 1 2015. finally this amendment updates the figures contained in section 217 bus window retention release and emergency exits of schedule iv of the regulations with the most recent figures available. the update to the figures replaces imperial units with metric units only and improves the quality of the drawings.
