I got a ticket for Careless Driving, section 130 of the OHTA. Thing is, I was driving down a residential road, not even a dividing lane in the centre. The definition only mentions highways, and also mentions other roadway users. The road was empty at the time. Not only that, but the officer didn't write down his full name and miswrote the year of my car. And I just confused, or does that section not even apply to me?
If there are multiple infractions within a close time frame, I will and directed by our courts to lay the careless charge! (ie, fail to signal, improper turn) or where there is an offence,while seing the driver talking on a cellphone.

Careless Driving is intended to apply to drivers' who's actions would be considered inadvertent or negligent. I wouldn't think this section applies to your situation. You conducted yourself in a purposeful way. No negligence was present. There are other sections of the HTA that would apply to your scenario. They weren't used. The officer was being lazy (IMO).

Already contradicting yourself here... you previously wrote There is way more to this than what you are telling all of us. Those people were behind me, I accelerated after I passed by them driving slowly.

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…
