New immigrant to Toronto need you help in a car accident. Thank you for your time to read this dreadful thing. The Discovery of the Damage I leased the Mazda 6 on 1st Feb. 2014 and as always I parked at the driveway. On 5th Feb. 2014 around 8:50, there was a heavy snow and I was trying to clean the snow on my car, I found out that there were scratches above my driver side mirror and the paint were off. Then I found around the rear driver side of the car there were dents about 10cm long. Immediately, I suspected that it might be my landlord Mr.Man, who parks his car ( A Honda Odyssey) in the garage, backed up to the street and did the damage. As the landlord's wife Mrs. WOMAN was home. I decided to talk this damage to her at once. BTW, I live in a house and always park my car in the right side of the drive way, my landlord's car is parked in the right side of the garage. The Confrontation with Mrs. WOMAN Mrs. WOMAN was outside the house shoveling. She looked at 2 damaged part and said to me that she was not driving those days and she was positive that she did not hit my car, but she was not sure if her husband knew anything about it. She also said that their car has backup camera, so it may not be possible that they hit my car. As her husband and their car was not there, she suggested that I should talk to her husband. The Confrontation with Mr. MAN When I was back home around 11 am, I saw my landlord park the Honda on the drive way instead of parking in the garage. He parked the car in the middle of the driveway, so I was not able to park my car in my place. I got off my car and took a good look at the Honda, I found the scratches under the Honda's passenger side mirror and rear passenger side around the wheel. All scratches had my Mazda 6 paint which was pearl white. I took several pictures of the Honda. Then I knocked my landlord's door and asked him to look at the scene. First, he drove his car to the garage so I could park at the driveway. Then I pointed all the scratches on both cars. With the identical damage to both cars, he admitted that he hit me, but also he argued that the way I parked on 4th Feb. 2014 left him a small space to maneuver to the street, so he hit my car accidently. From his testimony, I know the damage was made by that day. I said if it was difficult for him to back out, he should let me know, I would move my car for him. Then, he said he was willing to fix my car and ask me how much would it cost. I told him I have no idea, I was in Canada less than 2 years and I had not got this kind of problem before, so I did not know the price. He suggested that I should get a quote from the Mazda dealer, I agreed. I drove to the Mazda dealer that afternoon and stayed at the dealership from 13:30 to 14:30. The dealer gave me the quote on paper. When I backed home I copied and gave him one. He looked at the quote and told me the price (around 1,200) was too much to him. He said he quoted the price over the phone and it should be in hundreds. I said "you don't have to pay, you have insurance, just give me your information, then the insurance company will take care everything." He asked me what kind information I need from him. Then I made a phone call to TD and wrote down what information he had to provide in a paper. Then I gave that paper to him as well. About 10 minutes later, he knocked my door and asked me if I could go to his living room to negotiate with him, I agreed. He told me that if he use his insurance, his monthly payment will go up because he was 100% at fault and he asked me for a private settlement. He said "we could solve this like two strangers who just got into an accident on the street" and asked me how much I want. I said all I want is to fix the car, I don't need the money. All I care about is when I return this car to the dealer I will not have any problem. So I denied it and asked him about his insurance information. He replied that he had to talk to his wife and would get back to me that night. Part of the conversation was heard by my wife. The Change At that night around 8 o'clock, Mrs. WOMAN knocked my door and said to me that they were not sure that his husband did the damage to my car and alleged that I may cause the damage myself and she asked me for evidence which could prove Mr. MAN did the damage. I said Mr. MAN admitted the hit and we were talk about the solution and he asked me to go to Mazda to get the quote. Mr. MAN said that he did not admit anything and refuse to admit all the conversation. They also said that the scratch did not prove anything. From that point, I realized that the only way to solve this is to get the police. First, I called TD and reported the accident with only my landlord's plate number. Second, I went to Collision Report Center to report this at 23:00 on 5th Feb 2014. My concern is that the officer in Collision Report Center did not want to see the picture I took for the Honda. Will they find out my landlord is responsible for the damage? Any opinion would be appreciated. Thank you!

I searched but could not retrieve a satisfactory answer.
It seems matter-of-fact that all sorts of work equipment, namely backhoes, loaders and other similar mororized vehicles without licence plates, sometimes equipped with a slow moving vehicle sign, often not, some with an amber beacon, some without, are encountered on a highway, travelling under their own power, sometimes on multi-lane roads…
Hello everyone I'm not sure if this is the right place to put it but I need some answers as I'm very scared and don't know what to do. Recently if got a Novice Driver B.A.C Above zero I am 23 years old and I'm pretty due to get my G class license in a couple of weeks. I understand that I was wrong for drinking a beer and half and driving with a G2 Class license.
I have been reading Fight Your Traffic Ticket site and have a couple of comments.
I was issued two tickets at the same time, one for invalid left turn (Hwy 7 in Markham and Swansea). Another one, because the officer did not like my copy of registration documents.
I am planning to challenge it in the court. Actually I already submitted the request.
Hi, I have a court date Oct. 21,08 for parking in the fire route of my friends building. How can i get this $100 fine reduced or eliminated? only argument i really have is that visitor parking was full and i went around a few times. I wasn't there for long either.

I just got a ticket for going right on red fail to stop(114[18])$180. No pedestrians were in the way. I'm not a unsafe driver, so I'm…
My mom received a ticket under OHTA 159(1). She was turning left at an intersection. The light was green and there were no cars in front of her. She entered the intersection and waited for incoming traffic to clear so that she could complete the turn. As she waited, a fire truck with its sirens on was driving from the street onto which she was turning (perpendicular). He honked at her (presumably…
Basically, I was selling the car and I informed the buyer that the car was in not insured at the time.
He bought dealer plates from his work place and assured me that it was fine. We got pulled over by OPP and they asked for our information.
I explained that it was my car and the test driver was working at a dealership with his plates that has insurance, they told us that the plates don't apply
The other day I was given a ticket for speeding 119 in a 90, on highway 17 near Marathon, ON (Speeding ticket capital of the universe, BTW). The officer claims to have "clocked" me using the vehicle mounted radar at 121 KMH and dropped it (presumably to lower fine and demerits).
I was not going that fast, but there was a larger, and faster moving, vehicle behind me, gaining fast (I was driving a…
Location: 401 exit to Homer Watson Blvd, Kitchener/ Cambridge.
I was going on 401. When I was approaching the location mentioned at the topic, I tried to over take a truck in front of me, and realized a car tailgating me right after I went out to the fast lane. At first I thought it was some other fast drivers so I just thought that I would go back into the middle…
Hey, i recently got a ticket for failing to stop a red light (Section 114(18)).
I was travelling south, the cop was travelling north. He was on the other side of the intersection then me, my light turned yellow and i tried running it but it turned red before i could cross the line. I was going too fast to be able to stomp the break so i had to run it through.
I'm just curious how long will a Driving while suspended affect my insurance rates? Initially when I got my conviction with DWS my rates went from 180 a month to 390, since then I've had no tickets or even been pulled over and my rates have gone down to 240 since then. I believe it will be 3 years in Sept 2017. Will the DWS affect my insurance for 6 years because thats how long it stays on my…
It's winter, and there's been a cold snap. The highway you are traveling on is wet, but not slippery. You take your exit, but the salt trucks haven't been on this ramp, and despite slowing down to below the recommended speed, your car slips on some black ice, and you find the car rotating clockwise. The car rotates 180 degrees, and slides backwards off the ramp…
So about a month ago I received a stunt/racing charge for going 140 in an 80 zone. I decided to go with a paralegal, and was notified by the paralegal that on the summon's it states to go to a criminal court. The paralegal was confused as this should be at a Provincial court. They said that since I do not have any criminal charges, that the officer wrote the wrong address down including…
I got a careless driving ticket and I was involved in quite a serious accident. I was driving at about 60 km/h arriving towards a stop sign. Unfortunately when I tried to stop, my shoes were sliding off from my foot as they did not have any strap and were perhaps oversized and slippery. I could not stop at the sign and hit a van that had the right of way. Both vehicles were badly damaged and…
In some cases, it takes too long for the Crown to bring a charge against a defendant to trial. If your charge has taken too long to come to trial, you can stop the proceedings by "filing an 11B." This is filing paperwork to bring a motion at your trial, where you essentially say, "my rights to a speedy trial have been violated, and I want the case stopped." It is called an 11B because section…
Hi I'm new to this forum but I hope I'm bringing you all good news.
I recently wrote a book short titled ABUSE OF POWER
This book is all about how the Ontario government broke the law to enact the new street racing legislation.
To start with the denial of the right to remain innocent until proven guilty was enacted without due process under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. How it wasn't done…
I have been caught 3 times driving while suspended for unpaid fines . I have still not paid the fines and did not go to the first 2 court dates. When I was pulled over the second time the police officer said he would put down as it was my first time . But I had to work as I just started a new job. I called in to have the date changed but they said it was to late . So I did not go to court .…
Today I received a hand held device ticket on Gardiner. I was pulled over by the police officer and told i was using my cell phone while driving but i never even touched my cell phone. He told me my hand was not on steering. I am sure i didn't touch the phone. The phone was on the right passenger seat connected to my car. I was using mobile gps which was on dashboard display and never touched…
As the title states, I received a ticket for failing to proceed at a green light. I have gained a lot of knowledge from this site for various things, however even a google search of this ticket doesn't seem to pull up much info. Someone else had made a post about this back in 2009 but my story is quite different.
So I shall explain...
On the night of February 23/2013 I had decided to be the…
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.

I recently got pulled over and issued a ticket for following too closely and am looking to challenge the charges. However, I will be at school by the trial date. This is significant because I received the ticket in Ottawa (where my family lives), but attend school in Waterloo (almost 6 hours away). I will also be starting co-op this summer and as such likely won't be returning home in order to…
I was charged with careless driving for a one-vehicle accident, and would like to know how to go about pleading not guilty. I was driving on a rural road at night in an 80 kmh zone. I was driving up a hill. At the top of the hill is a 90 degree turn sign (no stop sign, no kmh posted). I hit the brakes too late, and because the road goes downhill and there's a lot of gravel, skidded one or two…
Not sure the right place for this so if it needs to be moved please do so.
I was stopped today for 15 over the speed limit, I gave all the documents to the officer and he said he could not accept a photocopy of my ownership only the original I had a photo copy front and back and I had my plate sticker number with it.
he gave me a ticket for HWY ACT Section 7(5)(a) he said only the original would…
Tonight, I was pulled over for apparently doing 132km in an 80km zone. Although I'd only caught myself doing 120km(yes, still over, I'm aware). After about 30 min of sitting on the side of the road, the officer came over and kindly decided not to take away my license or impound the car on the spot. I did not recieve any fines. He did, however, give me a court date in August. Never mentioning…
I have been a frequent visitor of this site for a while now but I just made an account today to ask a question that I have gotten no real clear cut answer on in the past.
