Ok, so I got into a fight with my boyfriend as I thought he was cheating on me. I got angry and I bumped his car with my car once at the side of a residential road, then reversed and bumped into it again. It was not an accident, it was on purpose. My boyfriend was in the car when this happened in the passenger seat. A cop saw me and came and questioned me. I got really scared and he filed and accident report and gave me a careless driving ticket and I got a lot of reprimanding. When he went I got really upset because I got a ticket and unfortunately in anger I threw a shoe at my boyfriend. It was a high heeled shoe and it cut him unfortunately. I have no idea how but the same cop came back questioned my boyfriend and arrested me. After this, my boyfriend decided to not press charges as we didn't break up and are happily together again. My assault charges have been withdrawn and neither me nor him have a criminal record. He eventually understood why I thought he was cheating. Can the careless driving be removed in a similar way? I have a trial for that soon. I really realise how close I came to having a criminal record and I'm never doing something stupid again. I have high ambitions and am doing an engineering degree, and don't want to ruin my life. I'm also a model and don't want my image spoilt (luckily I'm not too famous and this isn't on any tabloids). Can he say he was partly responsible as we were fighting in the car or something? What are my chances of getting this dropped? What should I say? If I am guilty how will this affect insurance? My insurance is already high as I hit a car some time back. My record is clean except for 1 using a mobile phone while driving and 1 failing to stop at a stop sign (accident related).

Careless driving 130. Every person is guilty of the offence of driving carelessly who drives a vehicle or street car on a highway without due care and attention or without reasonable consideration for other persons using the highway and on conviction is liable to a fine of not less than $400 and not more than $2,000 or to imprisonment for a term of not more than six months, or to both, and in addition his or her licence or permit may be suspended for a period of not more than two years. 2009, c. 5, s. 41. Here is a law you are accused of violating. From your story it sounds like you will likely be convicted unless you are offered and accept a lesser charge. Even if your boyfriend does not want to testify, the officer is a witness to what happened so you will have to request disclosure and see what he observed. Please be aware the officer cut you a HUGE break because you could have been charged with a criminal offence (Dangerous Operation of a Motor Vehicle). To be honest, I kind of wish he would have.

Can I go to prison for careless driving? What lesser charges could I get? Why would you wish that, I was not dangerous, I did not ram the car at high speed or anything. It was low speed. I was just mad because I thought he wad cheating. Both cars were driveable after the crash.

Unlikely but it is possible (they like to save jail time for people who intentionally crash their cars in fits of rage). There a lot of women in in shelters seeking protection from abuse (either actual of the threat of) suffered at the hands of jealous partners. Could you say that their actions are dissimilar than yours? What if the car you hit deployed an airbag and severely injured or killed the occupant, or what if it began to roll down the road and ran over a child? Just because the outcome didn't result in severe damage or injury doesn't take away from the intent of your actions, which in my opinion are criminal.

There is no way anyone could have got hurt at that speed. I was in the car as well. The objective was to damage his car by hitting it at a moderate speed. I know that was wrong and I won't do it again ever. I am positive that even while angry I did think and took precautions not to hurt anyone.

IMO you should have lost your license for life for using your car as a weapon. You should also have been charged with dangerous driving which is criminal.

The fine is not the issue but I am worried about insurance rates. First speeding ticket in my life Any suggestions on how to handle this? I can't afford to spend a day at the court
So was at court today in Orillia for a friend, and I had submitted a couple notice of motion a couple weeks ago that I wanted to deal with before arraignment. I met with prosecutor before hand, and it went something like this:
Prosecutor: "Do you have the case law?"
Me: "What do you mean?"
Prosecutor: "Do you have the case law for your motion?"
Me: "All the case law is quoted in the motion that I…
1)failure to change address on license (i got married a couple of months earlier and moved)
2) license plate not fully visible
I got pulled over because I had 2 letters peeling off my license plate. I know ignorance isn't a defense, but I really had no idea that this was an issue. Plus, you see many cars on the road with peeling plates. I got both tickets and…
I was driving around 140km/h on a 100km/h posted on the highway. I was in the fast lane. The officer was very nice and reduced it to no points and just 15km/h over.
I only have my G2.
1. Will this affect me taking the G test next month?
2. I am very grateful for the officer lowering the ticket... should I just pay the 52.5$ and leave it as is.. I am a secondary driver under my dads name and we have…
Hi, thanks in advance for the help. Been driving for 10 years, clean record until today when I got slapped with two tickets. First: going 135 at 100 on the 401, second: not having a valid sticker (I recently moved and completely forgot about it)
My friend tells me I should fight the speed ticket, if anything to reduce the fine and points. Would be alot of help if anyone could walk me through…
My wife, who has never had a traffic ticket in her life, just got 11 points.
Two tickets: "following too closely" and "failure to stop"
She was on a residential street and was behind a car at a crosswalk waiting for a pedestrian. Pedestrian crossed, they continued. Cop was drivig towards them down a side street , and as they passed he went after my wife.
I was driving in mid lane and was following a line of cars around speed limit.
The vehicle in front of me was large and I decided to change to the left lane to get better line sight.
As soon as I entered the left lane, I saw the car in front of me approximately 200m away stopped dead (for some odd reason, there was more traffic on the left lane).
Over the last few months I have received several parking tickets from the City of Kitchener. I haven't paid any of them and have attempted to dicuss the situation with the parking authority of the City, however, they're very unreceptive and defensive.
I work at a downtown construction site....ironically a Court House. The site takes up a whole city block, of which ONE side has 2 hour parking…
I was driving on a teusday night in the rain and fog at whites and highview by St. Mary CSS in Pickering, ON. At the time I was waiting at a red light to make a left north onto whites. There was also a car on the opposite side of the intersection making a left. The cars beams were pointed almost directly at my face and as a result, with the combination of the rain and fog, I…
I am new to this website and this is my first post so please forgive me if I've put this question in the wrong place. Please bear with me until I learn the ropes a bit.
So here are my questions:
Antique cars and hot rods (1930's- early '60's) and seat belt use in Ontario. If these vehicles never came from the respective factories with any seat belts, do they have to be retrofitted ?
OK so Jshreck has been taking some heat for the concept of providing the DL as being not required and therefore inadmissable in court. Personally, I think that argument would fall on deaf ears in the lower court and any chance at victory would have to be in the highest court. That would be quite something. When pigs fly I think, but along that line of thought, allow me to continue.......
I have a court date soon and am wondering whether the officers just read off their disclosure notes when interrogated.
Basically, according to the disclosure notes and the said distances and speeds quoted, by doing some simple math it just doesn't add up. My concern is whether the officer can change his story when on the stand after maybe realizing this?
Last week I was driving home from college in the sauga area. I drive a 1995 Chevy Monte Carlo v6 which I've owned since 2000, I really haven't done anything to the car except tinted windows (not completely darken) and some rims, and Nothing Engine wise. Anyway I look in my rear view mirror and out of no where i see cherry flashing. When pulled over the officer asked do you…
I was charged 2 days ago with RED LIGHT - FAIL TO STOP and set fined $150 and I guess 3 points. I was driving turning left on the intersection with a traffic light, and when I jst about to turn left the light turned to orange and I didn't have enough time to stop. Once I turned I saw the light turned to red and 2seconds later I saw a police beacon flashing through my rear-view mirror. It…
I figured pleading not guilty is the same as saying it was signed which is stupid. A friend of mine told me I could plead guilty with explanation and try to get the fine reduced when I come in.
So this Friday I was stopped by a local officer for going 110 in a 80zone. He also claims I was going 105 in a 50zone,which we literally passed when he stopped me as I was braking. It has been 3 days already and I can't seem to locate my ticket on their Internet site "pay ticket". Is there a way to determine if he has filed for certificate of offence to the courts? It has been 3 days I presume…
My trial date is in a couple days for a speeding ticket (york region) and i am nervous it is my first ticket ever as well as first trial
I did notice my ticket was filed beyond 7 days, 10 days after the day i got the ticket to be exact, which is stamped on the ticket. is this enough to have it dismissed?
If you look close enough, beside the drivers' side "A" pillar you will see a white circle = front antenna of Genesis radar......plus look above the dash pad...there is the Spectre RDD.
Any suggestions on how to handle this? I can't afford to spend a day at the court
