Hi, new at this and could use all the help and guidance.. My brother just got in an accident where he swerved to avoid hitting a squirrel and got in an accident. Luckily, no one was hurt as he did not hit another party so it was just our car (old car and it will be a write off). The cop issued a careless driving ticket - notice of appearance. I read a similiar thread about this but not sure if it applies the same as in this case, there was damage to the city's property. Is this where we should definitely fight the ticket? Careless seems a bit extreme since no other party was involved... Has anyone tried Redline? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Re: Received first time careless driving ticket...what to do?

I saw a deer in a park near Bayview and Steeles in Toronto a couple of months ago... large one, too. But, that pales in comparison to the police chasing a moose through the streets of Ottawa about 10 years ago... also a black bear near the Ottawa Airport about eight years ago.

The Ottawa police had two incidents of chacing deer (and killing them) in the city this spring. Also just down the road in Rockland the same thing. For sure there are lots of deer here in Ottawa, but usually juvaniles or doe's. I wont leave the roadway for that, but my car does stop real fast.

Small deer are one thing. The one I saw in Toronto was about the size of an elk. :shock:
