My problem is a bit complicated so i will do my best to outline all the issues i have, So recently i was involved in a motor vehicle accident when i was clipped by an older lady while waiting for her to pass. She drove threw a merge lane to get into a turning lane. So i went about the normal procedures of pulling to the side of the road and making sure she was alright and we were both safe. Side note she was driving an enterprise rental bec she totaled her other car 3 days earlier. We then both headed to the Collision Reporting station at the police station and tried to fill out our reports when it came time for me to be processed they informed me my drivers licence was suspended to which i had no idea of. I was told a police officer had to take over at this point. I waited at the station for over an hour then was sent home. The next day i went to the Service ontario station to find out what was going on and all they had in the system was two months prior my licence was suspended and i had to pay 198$ fee, i had moved 3 times in the past couple months so i didnt receive the notice of suspension, So i pushed her to inquire further as to why. She came back and told me i had to call an insurance company regarding a judgement on myself, which was why my licence was suspended. When i called this insurance company they told me it was bec my Ex-wife was involved in an accident with my car so i had to pay the damages she caused bec i was named as the owner of the vehicle and she refused to provide insurance at the accident. So i made arrangements to pay him a portion to have my suspension lifted and within 24hrs of the accident he did so. I then spent the next week going to the station to get an accident report filled out and trying to get in touch with an officer to have this done. I was unable to do so, so i made arrangements to drop off my insurance ownership and drivers licence and have them photocopied for an officer. I then checked back for a week and heard nothing. Now today while i was at work my fiance was approached by officers at our house and i now have a court summons for this accident and have to call to make arrangements to get this paper. This was 28 days after the accident. I'm at a loss at the moment and the implications that are facing me and my fiance at this point, this seems like every bad thing that could go wrong for me to lead to this point. I'm searching for clarity for both of us, in this mess and hopefully find some kind of path to resolution whilst not destroying us both mentally and financially.

Tireburst-Careless driving ticket
Hello All,
I was driving on 401 east right lane, and my left rear tire burst, causing the car to hit the right rail/ concrete wall along the high way.
OPP gave me a ticket for careless driving (490 dollars). Even though there was no other car involved, but bodily injury to the passenger.
Since its not my mistake, how should I contest the ticket.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks in advance...

Falsely Accused of Handheld Device Usage
Hi!
This is my first time ever getting a ticket and I am completely frustrated and don't know what to do.
On July 7th, I was driving to work, taking my usual route and it's about a 15 minute drive for me. At the first red light, I noticed I had a bit of time thanks to the countdown so I quickly reached into my bag to grab a lip balm. I noticed I had brought the wrong one so I just kept it out and…
Turning left on amber light and hit by a forthcoming car
It happened last December. I was facing north in the middle of the intersection at Donmills and McNicoll waiting to make a left turn. There was a big white van on the other side of McNicoll facing south waiting to turn left too. When the light changed to amber, I checked and the road was clear, there was no upcoming vehicle. So slowly I made the left turn. Suddenly a small car dashed up from…

A question about disclosure
I got a notice in the mail that trial is set four weeks from today, so it's time to request disclosure. I have zero chance of getting an 11b since trial is less than two months after the offense date and the officer did not reduce the charge. I really want to try and create delays on the trial, to reduce the chance of the officer showing up on multiple occasions. Is there any known loop-holes…
Moore St near Bayview (HTA 182 (2)) A couple of questions...
Got my first ticket last Thursday and I have a couple of questions. I was driving westbound on Moore St. (west of Bayview) and made a left onto a residential street at a 4-way stop sign. It was my first time driving through that area - was driving my girlfriend to a wisdom tooth surgery.
The police were set up to catch people, as that intersection had a no left turn sign from 7-9 am (buses…
142(2) - Start from parked position, not in safety
I was in a light collision with a police vehicle last November and will be having a trial by the end of the month. What happened was I was pulled over. I stopped and kept my right signal on. The cop car then tried to pull behind me when he was on my left but 2 cars pulled behind me. The cop wasn't too smart and instead of waiting for the two cars to pull away, he drove forward and boxed all the…

Fail to Stop for School Bus- Owner - 175 (20)
Hi everyone,
My husband was driving my car and passed a school bus with flashing lights. He did not realize this until he was past the bus. The driver honked at him but there were no cops nearby and he didn't get pulled over. I believe the driver or witnesses reported this and we got issued a ticket in the mail. The ticket is under my name as the registered owner: charged with Fail to Stop for…

Was the copy giving me a birthday present?
Hi, thanks for reading. I've read a bunch of articles online and searched the forum to try and find my answers but I'm still unsure so I'm creating a new thread.
I was following a car that was going SUPER fast down the DVP but I got pulled over. I was speeding, too; however I don't want to use the "you got the wrong guy" defence because I'll probably lose.
Anyway, it was on my birthday and I'm…
Failure to Yield at Uncontrolled Crossing
I left my home at 4 am to pick up my daughter from downtown Toronto. When I passed the major intersection south of my house there were two police cars in the middle of the intersection and one officer waved me through the intersection.
When I returned with my daughter at 5:30 am the police cars were still in the intersection. I slowed down as I approached the intersection but the police were no…
Speeding Trial - Prosecutor Questions to Defendant
Hello everyone,
I will be representing my wife at her speeding trial next week. Mostly everything is pretty much run of the mill but since she wasn't speeding we will be having her take the stand. Since this opens up the opportunity for the prosecutor to cross examine, I am just wondering if anyone here knows what kind of questions we should expect from the prosecutor in order to best prepare.
Wrong Address
When the court sends out the notice of trial, do they use the address the officer wrote on the ticket, or the actual address in the MTO database? In the case of the former, what are the implications? The reason I ask is that my wife got a ticket last week and the officer wrote the wrong city on it.
This topic discusses the same thing but with CN police; is it any different for regular offences?
Failure to remain...at the parking lot
Greetings.
Last thursday my wife and kids were in yorkdale shopping mall cinema.
I drove in the parking lot to pick them up, parked , waited about 20 minutes till they showed up, backed up and we left.

Single Car Collision, No Witnesses = Careless?
Details:
Driving onto ramp entering a major highway, posted limit is 100km/h, suggested ramp limit is 40km/h - I end up colliding with the concrete barrier on the passenger side of the vehicle.
Police arrive, suspect alcohol and breathalyze me with a result of 0.00 - I am asked for a statement and cautioned, however (stupidly) I proceed to provide the details anyways.
In my statement I say that I…

Disobey Stop Sign Ticket
Hello all,
I've decided to fight a traffic ticket for stop sign violation. The offense was 12 months ago, and I've got a court date for next Tuesday. I've requested disclosure and, although a bit last minute, received it two weeks before my court date.
Upon reviewing the case materials, there isn't much of a defense I can find -based on the cop having an obstructed view, or any mistakes in the…
HTA 144(18.1) - photo evidence of "approaching" the intersection
I will be going to trial for my red light camera offence.
I'll be arguing two issues, centered on the fact that there are two essential elements of 144(18) - a) a vehicle approaching the intersection shall stop; and b) the vehicle shall not proceed until green. Both essential elements must be contravened beyond a reasonable doubt to be an offence.
1) My ticket says I (being the owner) am "charged…
Signalling for speed trap
Hi,
I'm a newbie, so be kind if I'm messing up. Question: is it illegal to signal oncoming traffic that they are approaching a speed trap by flashing one's lights?
I ask because I was stopped for doing that yesterday evening, but did not end up with a ticket. The officer spend 5-10 minutes n his car, then sent me on my way. I'm wondering if he changed his mind or found out it was legal.
If it is…
