A few weeks ago, I rear ended a car. At the time, the police officer on the scene said that there seemed to be damage of under $1000 and that myself and the other driver should try to settle between us. The car was a buick. I can't remember the exact model number. But as the officer had to really "search" for any damage done, I assumed that the repair would involve changing the bumper at the most. I received a phone call from the other driver today and heard that the quote she got from her mechanic is $2600 and that there is a likelihood of discovering more damage underneath once they remove the bumper. I want to stress that I have no problem paying for the damage I caused, but it just seems like $2600+ for changing the rear bumper (for that's the only repair I can imagine necessary even though I am not an expert) on this Buick is too expensive. What are my rights, if any, in this situation? Do I just have to pay whatever price they ask for?

Either that or report the collision to your insurance company. So you're either going to pay for it up front or possibly with an insurance rate hike. Regardless of whether you were charged as a result of the collision or not, the insurance company will find you 100% at fault.

Often the vehicle body will be out of alignment in a rear end collision. This isn't visible unless you specifically look for it - trunk lid is slightly askew, position of left rear tire is different from right rear tire, rear door no longer closes easily, etc. It costs a lot to fix this, and in fact insurance companies will total most vehicles with this type of damage.

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…
