Default Newbie Jeep Owner - question

I just bought my first Jeep and I live in Newfoundland.
What are the laws concerning driving without the doors?

Obviously, this removes the mirrors as well. I just moved back to Canada and I feel like we have laws about everything so I'm sure there are restrictions on driving around without side view mirrors.

Thanks!

they are probably the same as Quebec need 1 external mirroir. to be honest this is a 48 hours thing here no money attach so they don't even bother stoping us.

Take a look at the stickers on your jeep.

The doors and roof are not structural and therefore it is not illegal to drive without them on due to the fact that the jeep was designed with removal as a possibility.

Laws on mirrors, however is a different story. But in the case of doors or roof, it is not illegal anywhere to drive without them.

It is illegal here in BC to drive doorless with a Jeep Wrangler newer than a 1986..... (YJ, TJ or JK). based on the motor vehicle act:



However, most RCMP I have come across have had no issues with me being doorless and having side-mirrors. Talking with a few Western Canadian JK members that are RCMP have stated it would be pretty petty for the Cop to ticket someone with no doors.....UNLESS....they were doing something stupid to get pulled over.
