I live in Ottawa and while swapping cars around from my driveway, parked outside my house for 30mins in the wrong direction (btw: our street is a short dead-end with very little traffic). I got a ticket that says "infraction. parking facing wrong direction - no curb". I understand that yes by the letter of the bylaw (bylaw and infractions are posted on the internet) that I'm not supposed to park on the wrong direction, although as I said it was for a very short time DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE, and on a short dead-end street. (A knock on the door and a warning might have been nice instead.) Anyway, there is in fact a sidewalk and hence a curb (is that what they mean by a curb?) but it was hidden under a blanket of snow. Do I have any chance of fighting this ticket, perhaps because the wrong info is on the ticket, or based on some other reason or chance of non-show at trial, etc? Note that the Bylaw rules listed on the internet have listings for both "parking wrong direction no curb" and "parking wrong direction raised curb" Thanks, ..Roger

I have a question. I was driving recently and was caught and charged under the distracted driving law as someone called me. It mentions I have 15 days to pay but I want to consider my options. I also read in the newspaper that the set fine of $155 will be going up March 18th.
A few months ago, IDKY I still remember it, but for some reason I do, I saw this guy do this one thing that I did not know what it would be classified as.

Lots of good information on getting disclosure from the Crown here.
Now, I am just wondering if I will be relying upon evidence of my own at trial... do I have to voluntarily send this material to the Crown in a reasonable time before the trial, or only if they request disclosure from me?
