Hi, Today I was stopped at a light waiting to turn left (in this particular intersection you can only turn right on left as it's low traffic "T" shaped.) once the light turned green, I checked the crosswalk and no pedestrians were around - all of a sudden I noticed a pedestrian walking out not in the crosswalk crossing the street. I lightly struck the pedestrian, and immediately stopped my vehicle to attend to the pedestrian which they indicated they were OK. Two witnesses, one said she was in the crosswalk, other said she wasn't in the crosswalk. I've been driving for 10+ years with absolutely no accidents, only 1 minor speeding charge 7+ years ago. Another thing, at the scene the police officer issued me the charge, and let me go, and about 10 minutes later the officer proceeded to call me asking me for my insurance information, I couldn't provide it him as I was still driving - is the officer required to get this information BEFORE he lets me leave the scene? Let me know what the best course of action is Thanks alot.

I hope I can paint the picture with the accuracy that the truth deserves. I have no intention of just beating a ticket.. but more like beating a really unfair ticket. You decide!

In June at 401 London and Wellington I got hit twice, speeding which I didn't realize I was doing and cell phone. The Officer made me open my purse and show him my phone. I was going to meet a Rep of my Company in Kitchener, he called I answered. WRONG! The Officer wasn't even nice. My record…
I'm going to preface this with a little concern....I know that at least one moderator on this forum is likely a co-worker of the officer who tagged me. I'm hoping that by being involved here, this moderator is already acting unbiased towards incidents he/she is not directly involved in. Also…
I received a ticket the other day that has my wrong name, wrong address and wrong set fine amount. Is the best thing to do default on it and hope it is quashed and if it isn't file for appeal as per London v. Young ?
Also for an incorrect offence or an offence "not known to law." as an example :
I got ticket for failing to stop at stop sign in Toronto. i heard that the police officer must see the stop line, if there is one, from where he was sitting. That is exactly my case, Is it a strong case? If so do i need a picture to show that there is a stop line and a picture to show that he could…
