Tonight I was pulled over regarding a burnt out headlight. The officer told me that he'd give me till tomorrow to fix it, mentioned that he had my plate number, and said otherwise I would receive a summons. He sent me on my way without asking for my license or other information, and without giving me any sort of documentation or information. My question is, do I need to prove I've fixed my headlight? It felt like he was just giving me a warning, but I don't want to find out later that he recorded this without giving me any documentation or information and that I failed to prove the light was fixed. Second question; if I do need to prove it, where do I go and how do I get it handled without any kind of documentation?

i wonder ... if your pulled over for in the future, if it would still be considered a strict liability offense and if you can still argue that the headlights were working before you start driving

Sounds like a verbal warning to me.......... Try this, get the light fixed and take a picture with the date on it. If this comes up again, you have proof of the fix. Not a big deal.

If the officer did decide to lay a charge because nobody came and showed him that it was fixed, he'd have a hard time getting a conviction on it because how will he prove who was driving at the time of the offence if he didn't obtain any identification from you, the driver. He will know the registered owner by running the plate, but there's no assumption in law that the registered owner was the driver.

I just received a parking ticket for parking outside of the space, to me that is crazy because I was parked in the corner of the lot, was not blocking anyone or a through way, so I thought there is no harm. I've seen people park there all day and not get a ticket.

I was hoping to receive some advice on the unfortunate situation that I currently find myself in.
Last night, at 7pm, I was at an intersection waiting for the oncoming traffic to clear so that I could turn left. I thought that I was waiting at the intersection behind only one other vehicle (a van)…
So i received my first speeding ticket...officer claimed I was doing 73 km/hr in a 50 zone. He did reduce it to 63 - should fight it? The ticket did not mention a cross road. Its just states N.B on Caledonia. I don't believe d points are affected but I'm worried about insurance.
Exactly a week ago today, I was caught going 135 in an 80, on Highway 3 near Windsor, Ontario. I know this is just completely idiotic and there hasn't been a minute since I was charged that I haven't been smacking myself for this. I'm very, very remorseful and just overall torn about…
I was making a left turn, didn't have headlights on and was putting on my seatbelt at a time. Really stupid thing to do, was very stressed out and just feel dumb about it. What am I facing, and what impact will it have on my insurance? On ticket it just says Careless driving, there are no details..
Late Saturday afternoon, December 1st, I entered the Shops at Don Mills with my vehicle and drove due East as I needed to make a quick deposit in the TD Bank. I made a left hand turn onto the side street and on the right side where I parked, there is a condo under construction with all the usual…
Hi, I just received a notice in the mail with pictures of my car going through a red light. Ticket is in my husband's name, as he is the car owner, but I drive this car. I'm guilty as can be... can't remember doing it, but apparently went right through intersection after light turned red. I…
