You can remove the doors on Jeeps and drive without them. The question is if this is legal to drive this way.
Some jurisdictions may have restrictions on this act, but what about Alberta?
Can you drive a Jeep without doors in Alberta?
You can legally drive a Jeep with no doors in Alberta, as long as you follow the rules regarding mirrors.
Jeeps often come equipped with a solution to the mirror issue.
In Alberta, you must have a rear view mirror that gives a clear view of the road behind you, and any vehicles approaching from behind. If that mirror is obstructed or interfered with, then you must have mirrors on both sides.
Here is what the regulation actually says:
See the entire Alberta Vehicle Equipment Regulation Here.
This doesn’t necessarily mean that any vehicle can be driven in Alberta without doors.
The regulation also states that vehicles need to be equipped with all the parts intended to be there by the manufacturer for safety (paraphrasing of course. Please read the regulation for your own interpretation).
In short, it is legal to drive the vehicle in the manner intended by the manufacturer. In doing so, make sure to follow the Alberta Vehicle Equipment Regulations.
In Summary
- It is legal to drive a Jeep without doors in Alberta.
- Make sure you are following the rules regarding mirrors and other things in the Alberta Vehicle Equipment Regulations.
- You must have an inside rearview mirror, but if it is obstructed, you must have side mirrors on both sides.
