This is a rather strange story if I may say so myself. Last week I got a letter from Toronto Police saying that my vehicle was involved in a collision. I got in touch with the officer in charge of the case and was informed that I struck another car while exiting a plaza a week prior. He described me, my car and the area I live in. From the words of the other driver everybody was stopped at a red light as I exited, damaged his car and was on my way. I told the officer that I do not recall anything like this happening but the description of the car, myself and the area match one to one. The driver of the other car said that I hit him in such a way that I would have damage on the right side of my car. Upon inspection I found no damage apart from minor scratches that were there before. I haven't been charged with anything yet, but I definitely don't want anything like this near my record. I currently have to get in touch with the officer to give him my insurance info so that he can file the report with MOT. Any advice regarding this and what I can do to fight it would be greatly appreciated!

If they were really determined, they could take some paint samples and fairly easily find out if your vehicles did come in to contact or not. At this point, the best thing to do is cooperate with the investigation. You should also offer to bring your vehicle in to them so they could take paint samples, as a suggestion to show you have nothing to hide.

A small update. The officer in charge of investigation is not charging me with hit and run, which is good. BUT, I am getting an "at fault" accident on my record which is what I want to fight. I've been in contact with the other party and I'm trying to arrange a meeting to show them that this was not my car. Does anyone know if I would be able to get them to withdraw their collision report? I've already offered to show my vehicle to the officer, he didn't really want to see it.

When I got in an accident the insurance adjuster told me that I would probably get calls from their insurance or the other person. they told me not to answer any questions, to get him their info and let him do the talking. Thinking of your situation I would notify your insurance of what is happining and that you did not have an accident and let them handle it. If the officer cant charge you with a hit and run he probably doesn't have the evedence to suport any claims at all.

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…
