i need help, basically i hit a pedestrian, didn't see htem, they were jogging in the middle of the street, i was at a stop sign, complete stop, i looked both ways and went and accidently hit the person jogging, they literally ran into my car, it's my fault though, i know that it wasn't in my car basically, my brother has two cars insured, a really nice one, and the one i was driving, i was driving the not so nice car, i hit somebody, and had to give his insurance, i'm actually insured under my mothers car, she has a perfect record and so DID i, my question is, will my brothers insurance get screwed by this, or will it be whatever car i'm actually insured under that takes the hit? he gave me permission to drive his car, but im really insured under my moms car/license next question is the cop gave me 3 options, and he said, if he could give me advice, he would never take option 1, which is plead guilty, he said in 99 percent of cases you can get a lesser charge, and that's all he said, other than saying make up any excuse, like you saw a squirrel even etc. the pedestrian was not hurt badly at all, i was going like 3 , not fast at all, i barely hit her, she had a couple scratches maybe and didn't want to go to the hospital, but they made her i know its my fault, i just want to know my best option, i don't really want to screw my brother over, does it effect his insurance or mine? or even both? im insured under my moms car etc. sorry if this doesn't make sense, trying to write it on mobile i also read that insurance companies might drop you if you have careless, which means, my brother would take the hit for that even though it was me that got into the accident? since i used his insurance

basically, my brother has two cars insured, a really nice one, and the one i was driving, i was driving the not so nice car, i hit somebody, and had to give his insurance, i'm actually insured under my mothers car, she has a perfect record and so DID i,
my question is, will my brothers insurance get screwed by this, or will it be whatever car i'm actually insured under that takes the hit? he gave me permission to drive his car, but im really insured under my moms car/license
next question is
the cop gave me 3 options, and he said, if he could give me advice, he would never take option 1, which is plead guilty, he said in 99 percent of cases you can get a lesser charge, and that's all he said, other than saying make up any excuse, like you saw a squirrel even etc.

If the pedestrian sues and/or there are damages that need to payed and/or the car needs to be fixed, this will be your brothers car insurance that will be affected. This could lead to a small increase in his rates. If you get charged with careless, this will only affect any insurance policies that you are listed on. So it sounds like this would affect your mothers policy but not your brothers. Careless could cause a HUGE increase in her policy. Is this ticket a SUMMONS or a NOTICE OF OFFENCE? I would suggest you plead NOT GUILTY and request a TRIAL with the officer present. Once you get your trial date, then you can request disclosure (officers notes) and then decide what route to take on fighting it or not.

When you lend your car, you lend your insurance. If there's a claim made by the other individual, your brother is on the hook. They will ding him with a chargeable accident as if he was behind the wheel. The actual ticket and charge are a different story. That will follow you. That will have nothing to do with your brother. I'm assuming you don't all live at the same address.

I have been reading Fight Your Traffic Ticket site and have a couple of comments.
I was issued two tickets at the same time, one for invalid left turn (Hwy 7 in Markham and Swansea). Another one, because the officer did not like my copy of registration documents.
This happened in last year (2015) April. I was going to pick up my son from Queen's University (Kingston) after his exams, and I guess I was too excited and was caught speeding 36km. The cop didn't say anything to me, just asked for my registration etc. Came back and handed me the ticket and…
Asking for input on whether I should hire someone or go to court myself.
Situation:
Was on a 60 road with a bit of traffic. Construction on the two right lanes leaving just a left turn lane and the centre lane. It was a green light so I accelerated (also writing down on my statement that I…
I got ticketed for a 72 in a 50 zone that I actually thought was a 60 zone as it was less than a km before.
I had an aggressive driver on my bumper so after tapping my brakes a few time I accelerated to merge into a different lane which was when I got caught in a speed trap.
I'm laughing my a$$ off at the scales of injustice in this town... This is a crazy story!
I'm cycling from home to work on Oct. 3 & get struck while traveling through my green light by a jeep turning right at his red light at the corner of Hwy101 & Brunette Road (Hollinger Park)!…
I was in court last week and the crown and judge agreed on a joint submittion that I plea guilty to dangerious driving. The judge commended me on the work I have done to improve myself and stated that there would be no prohibition on my drivers licence. He gave me a fine and one years probation…
Got a ticket for failure to obey sign. Essentially went straight on a right turn lane when there was a traffic blitz going south from Markham Main st past Hwy 7 east.
I received my notice of trial for July 17th but I assumed this was going to be a first appearance or is this the actual trial…
I've posted at this forum before under a different username a while back, which I unfortunately can't remember, and at that time the people who replied back were extremely helpful and for that I'm grateful.
Last night I was leaving Toronto driving north on University just north of Queens…
In early March I was driving in the Yonge & Churchil area. An officer said I failed to stop at a stop sign and ticketed me 110+3 demerits. While getting my license etc. I have multiple photocopy of my car ownership in my car, and that I thought I handed him the copy with the validation…
Hi, I am from Ontraio, Canada. I was using my friends car for moving some stuff around and was stopped by police and could not produce insurance slip. Got $65 ticket and paid it thinking not to make fuss about it. I know I made a mistake by not contesting it more so given that it was my first…
