2007-01-01

42.3. A person identified as the operator or the carrier on the most recent trip-document, the daily log or the circle-check report shown during a road check to a peace officer by the driver of a motorized heavy vehicle registered in Québec is presumed to control the operation of the vehicle.

For this presumption to be lifted, the person identified as the operator or carrier must produce a written document in which another person has acknowledged being the operator of the heavy vehicle subjected to the road check and must establish that this person in fact controlled the operation of the vehicle.

The Government may, by regulation, formulate rules for applying the means that can be used for the purposes of the first paragraph in the situations it determines.
