Here is what I found!!!!!
The headlamps must be mounted at a height of not less than 56 cm and not more than 1.37 m.
A motor vehicle, trailer or semitrailer on a highway must be equipped with 2 stop lamps, mounted on the rear of the motor vehicle (says nothing about needing that 3rd brake light)
Despite section 4.04 (2) (c), a vehicle equipped with off-road lamps when on a highway must have the off-road lamps concealed with opaque covers.
Doors shall be installed in a vehicle where the vehicle was manufactured with doors.
A motor vehicle, except a motorcycle, shall be equipped with a front bumper, and where a replacement bumper has been installed, it shall give substantially the same protection as the bumper originally installed by the manufacturer.
A motor vehicle shall be equipped with a rear bumper where the manufacturer of the vehicle installed a bumper, and where a replacement bumper has been installed, it shall give substantially the same protection as the original bumper.
A bumper shall be securely fastened to the vehicle, and the bumper bar or brackets shall not be broken, loose or missing.
A bumper must not have a sharp or ragged edge and must not protrude beyond the side of the vehicle.
Every motor vehicle, trailer and semitrailer not constructed so that the spray and splash of water and mud to the rear of the vehicle is minimized shall be equipped with mudguards and, if necessary, mudflaps.
Cannot find out how far your tires can stick out??? Let me know if you find this one???

7.06 Every motor vehicle, trailer and semitrailer not constructed so that the spray and splash of water and mud to the rear of the vehicle is minimized shall be equipped with mudguards and, if necessary, mudflaps.
MUD FLAPS, FENDERS, FENDER FLARES are all considered the same thing under this act. The tire must be completely covered in order to "minimize the spray and splash of water and mud to the rear of the vehicle " or must have substantially the same protection as stock.

Well just giving you all a heads up... they are out in force now looking for door-less Jeeps. Was going to work on Tuesday morning in MR, turned a corner and there was a seat belt check. Officer pulled me over and took my license and registration then noticed I was only two blocks from home. He was really nice and said "either you put your doors on in the next hour or I fine you" and he knew the MVA act since I asked what section I was breaking... can you guess what I did? Just to make sure I returned he held my DL. He even stopped traffic so I could pull a U-turn. Put them on in 25mins (hauled them down three flights of stairs) and he let me off the hook. If anyone knows about my Jeep I even have the mirror relocation kits so they wouldn't complain about that. Just a little warning for all you BC folks without doors.

I got a warning for this along with a ticket for not having my front plate bolted to the front bumper, west of Harrison lake. I had it attached to my winch with quick release clips for easy removal. Anyways...
The traffic officer showed me his notebook with the rules and regulations.
Tires are not to stick out past the fenders. Tire tred cannot be past the outside edge of the fender.
This is why my jeep is equipped with bushwacker fenders.
