After passing a person in "authority" on a country road four months later, the OPP served a notice to appear for careless driving. Proving diligence and care should not be a problem. The only witness are two persons, each one I passed. No cars were approaching in the opposite direction....truthfully, I'm not sure what this power-trippers problem is. After I passed him, he aggressively chased me. I'm looking for recent cases to advocate that passing is not against the law! Thanks.
Thanks for all the support; when I came home, my wife immediately instructed me to document the entire day, which I did. So I have my own written statement here at home. My wife and I also made a compliant to the Military's chief for his conduct that day...they encouraged us to formalize a complaint against him to the commissionaire. We just wanted the money back which cost us to get the vehicle out of the pound. They had the tow truck waiting for me...as soon as they found me. When the chief aggressively pursued me, he was tail gating me. I found it bizarre that he was going below the post speed rate to this point of aggression.

Mail in you request for disclosure. Let us see what they have against you. As to filing a complaint... Not sure where you would send it too, but that is a definite "should do". Why don't you make a call to the OPP to charge the Fire Chief with "Follow too Close"? He had no qualms about ratting you in, even though his case had no merit.

I've requested disclosure. I'll post the results. As soon as I receive the name of the person chasing me, I will phone the opp and make the complaint. If they fail to do anything, I will attend the justice of the peace and get a formal charge that way.

The charge was dropped! After readying the disclosure - very apparent that the fire chief worked closely with the police to construct his statement....Crown must have also seen the numerous flaws.

I have a pretty general question, I am just wondering, If a Police Officer is doing radar (or laser.. whatever) on an unlit area of a highway and is out of his vehicle do this, with his vehicle faced into traffic (but on the center median emergency turn around). If there is multiple cars on the…
Hi there, this incident occurred on the night of July 1st, so my deadline on this ticket is July 16th. I plan on going to the court office on Monday so I figured I'd see what the experts think about my case. As a result, I apologize for the long post, but I don't want to leave out any details.

Careless driving (HTA 131) deal down: lessons I learned
Careless Driving (6 demerit points) seems to be a "favourite" charge among police officers. It is certainly serious enough to get your attention and any plead down to say 2 or 3 points seems a gift. Here is a case where quick action and…
