Trailering 'Rules of the Road' Updated
Posted by Flaman Agriculture Jun 08, 2016
There are a wide variety of trailer regulations imposed across Canada - these regulations cover everything from annual inspections, to dimensions, to brake requirements. Your trailer my conform to your province’s regulations, but what happens when you travel into another province?You may be completely law-abiding in your province, then travel into the neighboring one and find-out an inspection is required the instant you enter the other jurisdiction. Or maybe your trailer is fine, but now since you have attached a trailer to your truck, the truck now requires an inspection. Or maybe the load this time is heavier than last time, so last time you were OK in the next jurisdiction but this time you are not.
Flaman Trailers has grown to become North America’s largest trailer retailer. This growth is in part due to, and brings with it a responsibility to be aware of the various provincial regulations regarding trailers.
So, Flaman Trailers VP – Steve Whittington created a “Rules of the Road” presentation to address these issues. This presentation was first conducted at NATDA (North American Trailer Dealers Association) in 2012 and has been updated to 2016 regulations
“Rules of the Road” is available for free download here

SK Snowmobile Registration Changes
Posted by Flaman Agriculture Nov 30, 2015
The Saskatchewan Snowmobile Association reminded riders last week that effective November 1, 2015 snowmobile registrations have changed to coincide with the snowmobile season, which is July 1st - June 30th as defined in The Snowmobile Regulations.This was done to ensure the proper snowmobile registration fees were being collected. Prior to this change, some snowmobile owners paid the snowmobile registration fee once but the snowmobile registration spanned over two riding seasons. This change will close that loophole.
Please be advised that you may still pick any expiry date for your snowmobile registration, but the registration term cannot extend past June 30th of any given year. For example, you could register your snowmobile from November 1st to April 15th.
All snowmobiles must be registered and the operator licensed before being driven on public land (i.e. roads (where allowed), ditches, other highway rights of way, provincial parks, Crown land, designated snowmobile trails, rivers or lakes). And, to clarify, registration is not required to drive on privately-owned land if permission is granted by the owner/tenant.
And on a side note, although an ATV cannot be registered, it must be insured with a $200,000 liability policy before it can be operated in public areas.
