I have always stopped at a stop sign. This was my first time EVER and I feel this horrible guilt. It was on Jan 12, it was a snowy day that day I was just exiting the highway getting off the ramp. About to make a right turn the road was slippery I looked left to check for cars and my car slipped out a bit and since my car was out on the road and a car was approaching I had to accelerate to avoid getting hit. Right after the turn the police had pulled me over. I just don't want to lose any dermit points and increase my insurance. Do I have a case?

And if you caused an accident by getting t-boned? Snow and Ice are something that you can see and should adjust for. Many people pass the same stop sign and manage to stop in snow and ice. OPS

I know that I am at fault. I was already driving really slowly on the ramp. But I really don't want my insurance price to increase that much because if it does I won't be able to afford to drive anymore. it was one mistake and I really will learn my lesson. Can anyone help me?

Well... if you have no prior convictions, you should be able to plea-bargain it down to a lesser charge. They might offer you a municipal by-law infraction, or some Highway Traffic Act infraction that is less expensive and has 2 demerit points or less. diehard told you how to start: option 3. Take your ticket to the courthouse listed on the back and fill out a Notice of Intent to Appear. They will then send you a Notice of Trial in the mail. Depending on where you are, you may get a First Attendance option. This allows you to walk in and talk to the Prosecutor to plea-bargain. Do NOT choose option 2, which is "plead guilty with an explanation." This does not reduce the points and it still results in the same conviction on your driver record. If there is no First Attendance offered, the officer may not show up on the day of trial. Or, if you want to fight it full-on, they may not provide disclosure, or take too long to bring it to trial and you can file an 11B. Alternatively, if this all seems a bit intimidating, you can hire a paralegal to represent you. Costs more but will save you time.

I wouldn't say there's "no way." All depends on what you plea-bargain to. A municipal by-law infraction for disobeying a sign would not carry demerit points.

I got a speeding ticket on the 401 by Cornwall. The officer said I was going 140 initially then dropped it to 130 (for the record I don't believe for a second I was going 140, that's way faster than I would ever intentionally drive). I filled out the info on the back of the notice to request a…
I was recently charged with stunt driving on a 60kmh road. When I was pulled over, the officer told me I was going almost 100kmh (still 40kmh above the limit) but was charging me for stunt driving because I accelerated quickly from an intersection on an empty road (in a straight line). I know…

Are any non-domestic vehicles "pursuit-rated" in North America? Also have the Michigan State Police (this is relevant because apparently they have the most accepted selection/testing process) tested any of them to see if they meet their criteria? Just curious...
Ottawa, Canada (AHN) - Beginning Tuesday, or April Fool's Day 2008, fines on Quebec drivers caught overspeeding will be doubled. It is not only the money penalty that will go up, but also demerit points.
The new law, Bill 42, is similar to Ontario's street racing rule. It stipulates fines for…
A friend got a ticket Jan. 9th of this year for doing 110 kph in a 90 kph zone, so 20 over.
What should the set fine and total payable read?
It's confusing to me, as the prescribed fine under HTA s.128 is different than the set fine enumerated by the Chief Justice of the Ontario Court of Justice.
An OPP officer ticketed me claiming I was going 40km/h over the limit (140km/km) on my way home with a few friends on the 401. This is my first ever speeding offense. Although I am sure I was over the limit, I am almost certain that I was not going 40 over, more realistically closer to 30 over. The…
Yesterday night I was charged for stunt driving (excess over 50km/h) and I have a few inquiries. I'm sure you've all heard the same story, but the unmarked cop in an SUV was tailing me for a good 2-3 minutes as I was travelling 120~135 km/h. Then as he came close I decided to boot it up…
I had a speeding ticket in May 2013 which brought me to 9 demerit points out of 15. I received a letter and had to attend an interview. Due to a history of speeding tickets and a previous interview a few years prior, the interviewer decided to put me on zero tolerance for a year. Meaning if I…
