Hi On Monday, i was in a Metro parking lot and backed into a parked car. I hit the drivers side door and left a pretty big dent. I pulled over, got out of my car, took a business card and left it under the right wiper. Then I went home... I was so freaked out that 20 minutes later I came back, but the car was gone. I've been waiting all week for someone to call me, but have heard nothing. This morning I got a call from a Police Officer who said that the other driver had taken his car to a collision centre, but that he had not got my information from the other driver - he had got it from a witness. It seems that the other driver somehow did not get my business card. I have to go tomorrow to report to this officer. He didn't indicate that I would be charged, and I guess it's my word against the witness as to whether I left the info on the windscreen. I do remember seeing a woman walking across the parking lot, watching what I was going to do after I hit the car, but she clearly saw me get out and walk over to the other vehicle and put the business card on. I'm freaking out, i have heard that it's up to the discretion of the officer as to whether or not I will get charged.

I wouldn't worry too much. These places are under 24/7 video surveillance, if the cops need to, im sure they could see what happened.

I went in to talk to the officer this morning. He took my story, pictures of my car and issued me with a failure to report ticket ($110). He said nothing about charging me with anything else, so can I assume this is the end of it?

I have been reading Fight Your Traffic Ticket site and have a couple of comments.
I was issued two tickets at the same time, one for invalid left turn (Hwy 7 in Markham and Swansea). Another one, because the officer did not like my copy of registration documents.
This happened in last year (2015) April. I was going to pick up my son from Queen's University (Kingston) after his exams, and I guess I was too excited and was caught speeding 36km. The cop didn't say anything to me, just asked for my registration etc. Came back and handed me the ticket and…
Asking for input on whether I should hire someone or go to court myself.
Situation:
Was on a 60 road with a bit of traffic. Construction on the two right lanes leaving just a left turn lane and the centre lane. It was a green light so I accelerated (also writing down on my statement that I…
I got ticketed for a 72 in a 50 zone that I actually thought was a 60 zone as it was less than a km before.
I had an aggressive driver on my bumper so after tapping my brakes a few time I accelerated to merge into a different lane which was when I got caught in a speed trap.
I'm laughing my a$$ off at the scales of injustice in this town... This is a crazy story!
I'm cycling from home to work on Oct. 3 & get struck while traveling through my green light by a jeep turning right at his red light at the corner of Hwy101 & Brunette Road (Hollinger Park)!…
I was in court last week and the crown and judge agreed on a joint submittion that I plea guilty to dangerious driving. The judge commended me on the work I have done to improve myself and stated that there would be no prohibition on my drivers licence. He gave me a fine and one years probation…
Got a ticket for failure to obey sign. Essentially went straight on a right turn lane when there was a traffic blitz going south from Markham Main st past Hwy 7 east.
I received my notice of trial for July 17th but I assumed this was going to be a first appearance or is this the actual trial…
I've posted at this forum before under a different username a while back, which I unfortunately can't remember, and at that time the people who replied back were extremely helpful and for that I'm grateful.
Last night I was leaving Toronto driving north on University just north of Queens…
In early March I was driving in the Yonge & Churchil area. An officer said I failed to stop at a stop sign and ticketed me 110+3 demerits. While getting my license etc. I have multiple photocopy of my car ownership in my car, and that I thought I handed him the copy with the validation…
Hi, I am from Ontraio, Canada. I was using my friends car for moving some stuff around and was stopped by police and could not produce insurance slip. Got $65 ticket and paid it thinking not to make fuss about it. I know I made a mistake by not contesting it more so given that it was my first…
