I was recently charged with "Change Lane Not In Safety" - the astonishing thing is the officer did not even take my statement, there were no witnesses and I was set up....I should've known better. I was travelling up a road which lead into a roundabout- up ahead from me was the driveway to the hotel I was staying. Just before I came to the bend in the road there was a division as there was an exit to the right of my lane heading north. Just before I was turning into the bend a car races in front of me cutting me off ( I assume she was trying to squeeze in front of me to take the road north) clipped my left front fender (which pushed my vehicle to the right of the lane I was on) then she coasted in front of me. I was no longer on the road I was originally on - I was half on that road and half on the other road going north. But here's the thing - when the police arrived she quickly runs to her and gives her a story. I waited patiently to speak with the officer. She finally approached me said she was ruling in the other motorists favor- then she pointed to a street and said "when you are coming from such and such a street, you have to yield to oncoming vehicles. I WAS SHOCKED!! I responded, "did she tell you I was coming from that street??" The officer responded "yes"... I said officer, I was not even on that street, I came from the other direction, I was in the circle as I was heading in the direction of that hotel and before the bend she cut me off in front of me and clipped my vehicle dragging it to the right. So, in other words, she said I came up from the left side, failed to yield to her coming from the right side when in actuality I was already in a circle (that had two lanes) with a divided sign for a third lane going north and she was on my left and cut in front of me clipping my vehicle. The officer then asked if I was from out of town; I responded, I was, although I don't see how that is relevant. She gave me the ticket and told me how to pay it...... I am still in disbelief...has this ever happened to anyone. I have taken pictures of my vehicle. There is a scratch on my left front fender...paint on my left front bumper and paint on my left front tire.....

I got a hand-held device ticket on Thursday March 16. $490 and 3 demerit points. The officer was hiding on a street and I drove by him with my phone in my hand.
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…
Around 3 months ago my friend told me that he thinks he ran Red Light on highway 7. ok his car was 1-2 meters away the Stop Line when the Light turned RED he then couldn't stop so he ran because Speed Limit on HWY7 is 80km/h and you all know none of drivers do under 80km/h they always at 83-85km/h,…
Today I was pulled over by a cop, and he told me that I was following to closely. There was no collision - I was following him, and I had kept enough distance (I would have atleast 1 car length or more) - when he turned on the lights and siren, I pulled over - this means that I was able to brake in…
Per the subject, I was stopped just over a week ago. I mentioned to the officer that I was going with traffic, and couldn't have been going over 125km. He mentioned that I was spotted by aircraft, and that he is just the messenger for aircraft patrol.
This morning, I was on the WB 407 on my way to school. For about 15 km, I was following an OPP SUV in the left lane. The officer was generally driving between 120 and 125, and I made sure to keep a safe distance. Before I go any further, yes, I know I was speeding,…
I was recently charged with a speeding ticket and driving with a suspended license. I was given the tickets on Feb 3rd and have since hired a paralegal. The paralegal asked when my court/summons date was. I cannot seem to find my tickets so I called the court and gave them my driver's license to…
How easy would it be to beat a ticket for "failing to provide proof of insurance" for the simple reason of a street name misspelling on my proof of insurance? The street is a woman's name, ending in ie, but the insurance slip was spelled with a y. In my mind this is not a failure to…
