Hello, I was in an emergency stop, then I just start to drive over the highway again a police officer was already stopped and " was not operator" was fully stopped and was talking to someone ( he was stopped a car and was facing the car talking to that person ), however I was just moved from my emergency stopped so there is no way to go and merge when I approached him, I was paying attention and even my speed was very low as I said I just drove back to the highway... the officer came after me to stop me and he issued a ticket for $ 400 with 4 point ... I was not feel safe to merge and change the line right after I drove ... the law it says you have to change line when it safe and I see it was not safe to change to the middle of the highway ... so I see the officer pushing me to do so meanwhile I do not see it safe to do it at that moment best regards,
Hello,
I was in an emergency stop, then I just start to drive over the highway again
a police officer was already stopped and " was not operator" was fully stopped and was talking to someone ( he was stopped a car and was facing the car talking to that person ),
however I was just moved from my emergency stopped so there is no way to go and merge when I approached him, I was paying attention and even my speed was very low as I said I just drove back to the highway... the officer came after me to stop me and he issued a ticket for $ 400 with 4 point ...
I was not feel safe to merge and change the line right after I drove ... the law it says you have to change line when it safe and I see it was not safe to change to the middle of the highway ... so I see the officer pushing me to do so meanwhile I do not see it safe to do it at that moment
You're probably not getting much of a response because it's very hard to read your post. It took me awhile, but it seems you're trying to explain how you failed to move over for an officer performing duties on the shoulder of the highway, otherwise known as the "move over law". What is the charge and section number listed on your ticket? 158? 159?

Are you sure it says 159.1 (2). If so, that is an incorrect section and can be dropped due to being a fatal error. If it is 159 (2), here's what the HTA reads: Upon approaching an emergency vehicle with its lamp producing intermittent flashes of red light or red and blue light or a tow truck with its lamp producing intermittent flashes of amber light that is stopped on a highway, the driver of a vehicle travelling on the same side of the highway shall slow down and proceed with caution, having due regard for traffic on and the conditions of the highway and the weather, to ensure that the driver does not collide with the emergency vehicle or tow truck or endanger any person outside of the emergency vehicle or tow truck. 2015, c. 14, s. 47. Basically the officer believes you did not complete your maneuver in safety (which is the exact same thing that you believe as well). The best thing to do in that situation was to wait until the officer moved so that you could complete the maneuver safely. Regardless, you should plead not guilty and request a trial with the officer present. Once you get your trial date, you can request disclosure and post it up here for our opinion.

I just moved to the first lane moving slowly still not merge car are passing I see it not safe to change lane right a second ... I saw another police vehicle stopping ( white Toyota I think) the lamp was off too and he was talking to the driver I was still driving slowly, suddenly he was after me pulled me over for not giving any chance to speak , he said will give you a ticket "Failing to move into another lane when approaching stopped emergency vehicle" .......it wasn't safe for me to move into the other lane " "shall move into another lane if the movement can be made in safety.""

1) There is no speed limit that is 109 km/h. You were speeding 109km/h in a 100km/h zone. First of all, you should have been in the right lane (as the left is for passing), and if he wanted to pass, lawfully he should go into the left lane to pass you. You should never increase your speed because a car wants to pass you. 2) Like said before, It was not safe to do so, so you must wait until it is safe to do so. There is no specific time limit on how long you have to move, just as long as it's safe. You should have remained stopped until the officer in front moved or until traffic was clear enough for you to proceed. This could take 30 seconds, could take 5 mins. Point is, you should not make the maneuver until it is safe to do so (hence the charge). Regardless, until you plead not guilty and request disclosure, there's nothing we can do for you here.

The fine is not the issue but I am worried about insurance rates. First speeding ticket in my life Any suggestions on how to handle this? I can't afford to spend a day at the court
So was at court today in Orillia for a friend, and I had submitted a couple notice of motion a couple weeks ago that I wanted to deal with before arraignment. I met with prosecutor before hand, and it went something like this:
Prosecutor: "Do you have the case law?"
Me: "What do you mean?"
Prosecutor: "Do you have the case law for your motion?"
Me: "All the case law is quoted in the motion that I…
1)failure to change address on license (i got married a couple of months earlier and moved)
2) license plate not fully visible
I got pulled over because I had 2 letters peeling off my license plate. I know ignorance isn't a defense, but I really had no idea that this was an issue. Plus, you see many cars on the road with peeling plates. I got both tickets and…
I was driving around 140km/h on a 100km/h posted on the highway. I was in the fast lane. The officer was very nice and reduced it to no points and just 15km/h over.
I only have my G2.
1. Will this affect me taking the G test next month?
2. I am very grateful for the officer lowering the ticket... should I just pay the 52.5$ and leave it as is.. I am a secondary driver under my dads name and we have…
Hi, thanks in advance for the help. Been driving for 10 years, clean record until today when I got slapped with two tickets. First: going 135 at 100 on the 401, second: not having a valid sticker (I recently moved and completely forgot about it)
My friend tells me I should fight the speed ticket, if anything to reduce the fine and points. Would be alot of help if anyone could walk me through…
My wife, who has never had a traffic ticket in her life, just got 11 points.
Two tickets: "following too closely" and "failure to stop"
She was on a residential street and was behind a car at a crosswalk waiting for a pedestrian. Pedestrian crossed, they continued. Cop was drivig towards them down a side street , and as they passed he went after my wife.
I was driving in mid lane and was following a line of cars around speed limit.
The vehicle in front of me was large and I decided to change to the left lane to get better line sight.
As soon as I entered the left lane, I saw the car in front of me approximately 200m away stopped dead (for some odd reason, there was more traffic on the left lane).
Over the last few months I have received several parking tickets from the City of Kitchener. I haven't paid any of them and have attempted to dicuss the situation with the parking authority of the City, however, they're very unreceptive and defensive.
I work at a downtown construction site....ironically a Court House. The site takes up a whole city block, of which ONE side has 2 hour parking…
I was driving on a teusday night in the rain and fog at whites and highview by St. Mary CSS in Pickering, ON. At the time I was waiting at a red light to make a left north onto whites. There was also a car on the opposite side of the intersection making a left. The cars beams were pointed almost directly at my face and as a result, with the combination of the rain and fog, I…
I am new to this website and this is my first post so please forgive me if I've put this question in the wrong place. Please bear with me until I learn the ropes a bit.
So here are my questions:
Antique cars and hot rods (1930's- early '60's) and seat belt use in Ontario. If these vehicles never came from the respective factories with any seat belts, do they have to be retrofitted ?
OK so Jshreck has been taking some heat for the concept of providing the DL as being not required and therefore inadmissable in court. Personally, I think that argument would fall on deaf ears in the lower court and any chance at victory would have to be in the highest court. That would be quite something. When pigs fly I think, but along that line of thought, allow me to continue.......
I have a court date soon and am wondering whether the officers just read off their disclosure notes when interrogated.
Basically, according to the disclosure notes and the said distances and speeds quoted, by doing some simple math it just doesn't add up. My concern is whether the officer can change his story when on the stand after maybe realizing this?
Last week I was driving home from college in the sauga area. I drive a 1995 Chevy Monte Carlo v6 which I've owned since 2000, I really haven't done anything to the car except tinted windows (not completely darken) and some rims, and Nothing Engine wise. Anyway I look in my rear view mirror and out of no where i see cherry flashing. When pulled over the officer asked do you…
I was charged 2 days ago with RED LIGHT - FAIL TO STOP and set fined $150 and I guess 3 points. I was driving turning left on the intersection with a traffic light, and when I jst about to turn left the light turned to orange and I didn't have enough time to stop. Once I turned I saw the light turned to red and 2seconds later I saw a police beacon flashing through my rear-view mirror. It…
I figured pleading not guilty is the same as saying it was signed which is stupid. A friend of mine told me I could plead guilty with explanation and try to get the fine reduced when I come in.
So this Friday I was stopped by a local officer for going 110 in a 80zone. He also claims I was going 105 in a 50zone,which we literally passed when he stopped me as I was braking. It has been 3 days already and I can't seem to locate my ticket on their Internet site "pay ticket". Is there a way to determine if he has filed for certificate of offence to the courts? It has been 3 days I presume…
My trial date is in a couple days for a speeding ticket (york region) and i am nervous it is my first ticket ever as well as first trial
I did notice my ticket was filed beyond 7 days, 10 days after the day i got the ticket to be exact, which is stamped on the ticket. is this enough to have it dismissed?
If you look close enough, beside the drivers' side "A" pillar you will see a white circle = front antenna of Genesis radar......plus look above the dash pad...there is the Spectre RDD.
Any suggestions on how to handle this? I can't afford to spend a day at the court
