Hello, I think I just passed a stopped bus. I was driving along a median and I wasn't sure it ended or not due to the snow and I kept going. The bus was on the opposite side of the median. I didn't see the red lights, maybe they were yellow. I cars behind me stopped for sure. I admit I was likely in the wrong here. I've read through some examples here. So, I wasn't driving my own car. I'm a secondary driver on my mother's car. I am on the insurance. I just need some questions/answers clarified. 1. Since I wasn't pulled over by anyone, the odds of this becoming a charge against the driver is extremely small? Its a charge against the owner of the vehicle? And thus won't affect demerit points, because they don't know who was driving? Or would it affect the demerit points of the owner of the vehicle? 2. If its a charge against the owner of the vehicle, does it affect their insurance? 3. If I do get ticketed, will a police officer come to my door or will it just be mailed to me? And if its mailed, do they provide any background proof of what I did? I know some buses have cameras and some don't. 4. Are they slow to process something like this?

I have a pretty general question, I am just wondering, If a Police Officer is doing radar (or laser.. whatever) on an unlit area of a highway and is out of his vehicle do this, with his vehicle faced into traffic (but on the center median emergency turn around). If there is multiple cars on the…
Hi there, this incident occurred on the night of July 1st, so my deadline on this ticket is July 16th. I plan on going to the court office on Monday so I figured I'd see what the experts think about my case. As a result, I apologize for the long post, but I don't want to leave out any details.
I have several problems and I'm wondering what my options are. This past weekend I was driving home from Lake Huron and was caught going 112 in an 80km/h zone. I am currently on my Quebec probationary license which is revoked at 4 demerit points. The penalty in Quebec for going +32 km/h over is 3…
