Hi guys, I am epileptic, and have been diagnosed over 2 years ago. I lost my license in April of 2009, and got it back after a long ordeal of EEG testings. My epilepsy is controlled by medication. Anyways more to the point, I recently had a seizure because i missed 3 consecutive doses of my medication, and someone saw it, called 911, and i woke up in an ambulance. It was stupid of me to not take them, I ran out over the weekend. I have gotten away with it before, but I usually make a point of taking my meds as prescribed. By law the doctor has to report this incident to the MTO, and they are either going to request more information or suspend it. Now until I receive that notice of suspension in the mail i am free to drive as i please. My question is would there be any insurance issues if i were to get into an accident? The doctor in London who reported this has never seen me before and bylaw has to advise me not to drive, however my neurologist who i saw promptly after agrees with me that as long as I keep up with my meds, I am no threat be hid the wheel. However he doubts that sending a letter in to the MTO this early will veto their decision to suspend my license. So again my question is whether or not I'm risking my insurance coverage, driving after i have been advised that my license may be suspended under section 47.1 of the highway traffic act.

You'd have to read your policy and see if it excludes coverage for accidents arising out of pre existing medical conditions or anything like that. I think what you should be more concerned about it how this would affect a finding of civil negligence if you were to get into a crash because you missed another dose and got sued.

I'm not worried about having a seizure behind the wheel. My neurologist and I both agree that if i keep up with my meds I will be fine. He just can't go against what the emergency doctor already sent to the MTO. I mean if i just get into an accident in general would I be covered? I will have to read up on my policy

I was driving on Eglinton W and turn right on Strathearn (near Eglinton/Allen Road). There was a no right turn (from 3pm to 7pm) sign which I didn't see.
The cop was waiting there, apparently nobody sees the signs but they are there.
I don't believe I have much to do here but, trying to find…
I know this technically doesn't fit on this board (3 demerit points) as it seems that 15km/h over just means a 50 dollar fine, I would like some advise though, I'm not sure how I should proceed.
The incident happened in Feb, driving south on highway 400 near Barrie. I was in the fast lane, doing…
Quick question about debris (broken taillights ect) from an accident and responsibility.
If someone hit something that broke off (not cargo), but 30 minutes after the original accident and other cars managed to avoid everything. The debris was avoidable who is responsible for damage to that car.
Need some advice on reaching a plea deal with the prosecutor and how to go about talking to the crown. I'm not here to be lectured ect. I'm aware I made a mistake, and need advice on fixing it. So kindly keep comments about my impulsive decision to yourself.
First post..... My fiancee this week was in an accident and she was handed a 3 demerit point 154 (1) (a) charge for 115 dollars or something and 3 demerit points.
Demerit points do not matter to insurance companies, convictions do ... is there a chance that she could go to court and the…
I was on hwy 37 trying to make my girlfriends ganadmas mass and I live an hour away and I had an hour to get there so I was going fast but not 50 over untill some idiot got on my tail soo close that I was to concentrated on him that I kept going faster…
Got stopped for what I thought was going to be speeding, officer apparently had other ideas which needless to say surprised the heck out of me since Im positive I was not going over 150.
Ive done a LOT of reading already on here, Ticket Combat and some specific cases on Canlii (need to look up even…
I just received my first stop sign ticket in Markham. Has anyone successfully defended a stop sign ticket? If so, what strategies did you use? The officer that pulled me over said I slowed down but didn't stop. I felt that I stopped momentarily. I have no previous moving violations or…
