I was driving along at about 330 in the afternoon on a sunny friday, come to the top of a hill checked my mirrors (I had a lane change coming upand would have to be in the left lane). When I look back theres a van right there, needless to say I smoked them their trailer hitch totally destroys my work van. She had stopped short of the guy in front of her so when I hit her she hit him and her airbags deployed. I was maybe going 15 and braking when i hit her. I got charged with careless, and I was asking the officer something and he casually mentions that the woman I hit has a suspended licence (Yaay- which also means she has no insurance)

Re: Careless Driving Rear ender
Sounds like a "momentary inattention" case. You should have a decent case in court.

Hey
Last week, around 9:30 at the Britannia water purification plant (Ottawa), undercover cops put on their lights. I was outside of my mom's vehicle (van) about to go for a simple #1 in the bushes (even had a bunch of tissues in my hands) when one officer asked me what I was doing (my bf was also…

I got pulled over for doing 147 in a posted 90 zone on hwy 17 heading east towards Ottawa where I live. My car was impounded for 7 days and the officer took my licence. I'll probably go with one of those traffic ticket places. I don't feel like driving to North Bay 4 or 5 times.
