Hey guys So i was driving behind a Van, the signal was green and as soon as it turned yellow, the van hit the breaks Hard. I tried stopping/hand braking nothing seemed to work, it was raining, thus i rear ended his van. There was no damage, unluckily the cop was in the area and handed me a Motor Vehicle Accident Report. He didn't indicate who's fault it was, and didn't issue either of us a ticket. So my question is what does Motor Vehicle Accident Report affect? Insurance company? driving licence? etc.. Thanks alot.

Even if the police dont lay charges, insurance companies have their own fault determination rules for accidents. In your example when you strike someone from behind, regardless of circumstances, youre 100% at fault. If no charges were laid, there wont be any record of the accident on your licence, but you will have an at fault finding on your insurance record. It could impact your insurance rates upon renewal depending on your policy and record.

I really think it all about certain circumstances for example on a highway i can go infront of the truck and press brakes, knowing that trucks stop really slow and he could hit me and it wouldn't be my fault.

Insurance fault rules are pretty much absolute. If it meets their model, they apply fault as prescribed in the regulation. They don't look at factors like weather and road conditions that police might. Here's a PDF of the fault rules: http://www.ibc.ca/en/car_insurance/docu ... -rules.pdf

Hi everyone. I'm asking for a friend who has a question of interpretation.
He was ticketed for using a hand-held device. He contends that he was acting within the exemption provided under Subsection 14 (1) of O. Reg. 366/09, which reads as follows (emphasis added):
Hey guys i just wanted to know what speeds you see others do on the roads on a regular basis. As we all know no body drives 100 km. It seems they only hit that speed twice once on the way up and once on the way down.
it seems the De Facto limit on the 401 is about 120-130. But lately i dont know if…
On June 10, 2017, I was pulled over by an OPP on the 403 heading WB and told I registered 136km/hr. I kept chit chat to a minimum and took my ticket and went on with my day. I later requested my disclosure and did not receive it until a week before my Oct. 27 court date, and so I had my date…
Anyone know any more information? Apparently kathleen wynne mentioned trying to introduce legislation after more than 20 years of no speed cameras. My guess is that it wont happen, since they've tried before many times to bring it back after it was abolished.
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 posted this in the 3 Demerit Section and haven't received any
responses.
I received a failure to stop at an amber light ticket on April 17, 2009. At my First Attendance Meeting I asked to read the police officer's notes and remember thinking how ridiculous they were and the difficulty…
I was on the right side of the road going straight when a pedestrian waved down the taxi driver in the lane next to me. He pulled over to the right without any notice or signalling and hit me with the side of his car.
There were many witnesses but I immediately had a concussion and did not think of…
My mother was driving EB on a 4 lane street (2 lanes EB, 2 lanes WB).
She was in the left hand lane and started a left hand turn so as to enter a side street, crossing WB traffic. There was NO intersection. She hit a cyclist who was heading WB. Police where called but none showed up. My…
If the speed limit is 50, and you do 100+, not only do you get 6 points. Your car gets impounded for a week, and your license suspended for 7 days, along with a hefty fine of at least $2000. The penalty is actually the same as for racing. The law came in effect on October 1, 2007. Remember -…
I was driving westbound on Hwy. 8 earlier this month in North Dumfries Township, approaching the Cambridge city limits. The weather was clear and the roads were dry. I noticed a vehicle on the shoulder on my side of the road, pointing towards me. This didn't concern me right away, as it is a rural…
