Hi All, Need some help on this one. I was travelling North Bound and was approaching the traffic light to continue north, as l rolled into the traffic light I pulled up behind a truck. The light was green and the truck started moving forward to go through the intersection and suddenly put his brakes on. I made a split decision to avoid hitting him at the back of his truck and swerved into the right turn lane which then apparently turned into an HOV lane. As I preceded to go through the light, I found out why the truck ahead of me put his brakes on, a car was trying to go through the red light to their make a turn in the southbound lane. Needless to say I hit her. The officer stated that he would be curious how a justice of the peace would handle my ticket. The officer told me that it was a bonehead move and that unfortunately had to give me a ticket for using that lane. I plan to fight the ticket, but wondering what my options would be at this point. Thanks for any advice.

I was in court last week for a three dem points offense. The prosecutor offered everyone a plea of guilty with a lesser fine and no points. Almost 90% of them took the guilty plea.
For those who didn't agree to the plea bargain, they called them out after sometime and had the police officer "work"…
Am I the only person is Ontario that wonders why it was determined that the lines on the road [specifically the outer edge lines-shoulder of road] are painted white ... as the lines are not too visible in bad weather - especially snow as the white line blends with the snow.
My wife received a ticket for driving with expired plates in 2013. I sent the ticket in the mail with payment but stupidly didn't make sure that it was paid. I assumed that they would send us a notice if it didn't.
Today, my wife was at the OPP office to get a criminal record check for school.…
I got this ticket last year in toronto and received court date recently.
Basically I parket on a street where there are marked spots for car parking but they were all faded with only the white edges showing. I assumed I was in the correct spot when I got out. I never noticed the fire hydrant in…
Hi. I have trial date coming up and some good advice would be appreciated. A few months back the OPP clocked me at 142 KM on highway 401. It was late evening and I was totally surprised when he pulled me over. I had my wife and 2 sons with me in the car and there was no way I was speeding. I…
Okay, so as you guys can see in my previous thread, I got a ticket for "Red Light - Failed to stop". The ticket i got was in Scarborough. What paralegal/lawyers would you guys recommend I go with. Cost isn't really an issue, but I would really like to get this ticket dismissed.
I was driving up the skyway bridge in Burlington Ontario in the right lane. I noticed an emergency vehicle on the right side with flashers about half way up. I slowed my vehicle by at least 10 kms to 90km right away but another car started to tailgate me very close. I even said to my wife - oh my…
