The fact that he had to open a door to hit you, is proof enough that you turned out to the left as far as necessary and possible, given the circumstances. Not only the fact that he didnt leave one-half or less of the road-way free, but took more space and as you said, he failed to follow the HTA 165: "No person shall, (a) open the door of a motor vehicle on a highway without first taking due precautions to ensure that his or her act will not interfere with the movement of or endanger any other person or vehicle"In my opinion (which really doesnt matter), the officer was at fault, but if you get charged, he's not. Thus he probably charged you to try and save himself a slap on the wrist!Vehicles or equestrians overtaking others
(5) Every person in charge of a vehicle or on horseback on a highway who is overtaking another vehicle or equestrian shall turn out to the left so far as may be necessary to avoid a collision with the vehicle or equestrian overtaken, and the person overtaken is not required to leave more than one-half of the roadway free. R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, s. 148 (5).

just to clarify, the lights do NOT have to be on "top". The lights have to have intermittent flashes of red and or red/blue light. The cruiser does not have to have an "emergency situation" to have those activated, the cruiser in itself is an "emergency vehicle, when the lights are flashing".Thanks bend. The parked police car did not even have the red-light, red-blue light flashing on top and it was clearly not an emergency situation. The officer simply decided to endanger passing vehicles by opening his door without checking if it is clear.
