Clean record for over 20 years... except one red light (camera) 2 years ago but it wasn't about beating the red to be honest. But that's another story. I was on the 401 and the traffic in the left and middle were going slow, so I stupidly decided to go over to the far right lane, then back into the middle, then back to the right... just going over the slow flow of traffic and doing about 120. Well, there was an OPP in the middle lane that I did not see (marked car). Anyways, got charged with careless 6 points $490. The officer was stern and said he could have taken my car for 7 days as "stunt" driving. The irony in all this is, I'm the most chill driver at 42 years of age, I'm always 15km within speed limit, but I goofed it tonight ....after work and dinner with some friends I just had that vibe to give'er. Any suggestions? Thanks.

If your ticket has the option for an early resolution meeting, you should probably consider it. They'll either make you an offer for a lesser charge or not. From an insurance perspective, careless driving is in the worst of the worst category. 100% surcharge and you run the risk of being booted from the standard type provider. Any offer from the prosecutor will almost definitely fall into the minor category (eg: some lane change charge). You may or may not be issued a surcharge for your first offense from your insurance provider for a minor conviction. The difference in convictions couldn't be more drastic. For a lot of people it may be the difference between driving or taking the bus.

I just received a parking ticket for parking outside of the space, to me that is crazy because I was parked in the corner of the lot, was not blocking anyone or a through way, so I thought there is no harm. I've seen people park there all day and not get a ticket.

I was hoping to receive some advice on the unfortunate situation that I currently find myself in.
Last night, at 7pm, I was at an intersection waiting for the oncoming traffic to clear so that I could turn left. I thought that I was waiting at the intersection behind only one other vehicle (a van)…
So i received my first speeding ticket...officer claimed I was doing 73 km/hr in a 50 zone. He did reduce it to 63 - should fight it? The ticket did not mention a cross road. Its just states N.B on Caledonia. I don't believe d points are affected but I'm worried about insurance.
Exactly a week ago today, I was caught going 135 in an 80, on Highway 3 near Windsor, Ontario. I know this is just completely idiotic and there hasn't been a minute since I was charged that I haven't been smacking myself for this. I'm very, very remorseful and just overall torn about…
I was making a left turn, didn't have headlights on and was putting on my seatbelt at a time. Really stupid thing to do, was very stressed out and just feel dumb about it. What am I facing, and what impact will it have on my insurance? On ticket it just says Careless driving, there are no details..
Late Saturday afternoon, December 1st, I entered the Shops at Don Mills with my vehicle and drove due East as I needed to make a quick deposit in the TD Bank. I made a left hand turn onto the side street and on the right side where I parked, there is a condo under construction with all the usual…
Hi, I just received a notice in the mail with pictures of my car going through a red light. Ticket is in my husband's name, as he is the car owner, but I drive this car. I'm guilty as can be... can't remember doing it, but apparently went right through intersection after light turned red. I…
