Clearance height
7.091 A motor vehicle with a gross vehicle weight rating of less than 4 500 kg must have a minimum clearance for all parts of it, other than the wheels in contact with the level roadway, that is no lower than the lowest point on the rim of any wheel in contact with the roadway.

I was caught in a speed trap years ago (2009 maybe) in Richmond and they waved me down due to modifications. As the cop looked my car over he cited me for hood pins(could hurt people I run into), front tow hook(could take out a kneecap from a pedestrian) and exhaust (tip too big and melting bumper). He brought up the item I bolded above and said that is how they determine a ticket for being too low as my car was lowered as well. Not even a mention of that being an issue and I was far lower than anyone getting flagged in today's climate. There were trainees at the check stop and the head cop saw my unpadded Autopower and said that it was a great safety option and there is no infraction for it when a trainee asked, but we all know that non-padded roll bars on the street are scary as a collision could have your head make contact with the main hoop if rear-ended. Just goes to show how higgity-piggity the system is when it really depends on who is enforcing it.
