Hello, I'm new to the forums and found this through google. I apologize if this is the wrong section but the title is my question based on an incident last night; A buddy was following me home at night (not really close). He pulled into my laneway behind me and when we got out of our vehicles he said a Slow Moving Vehicle sign flew out of my truck, hitting his hood then flying up and hitting his roof. I never saw anything leave my truck because it was already dark. I was driving my dads truck, that he uses for farming so there very well could have been a SMV sign in the back. He has a tonneu cover on it which is normally down but this time it just so happened to be folded up. The weird thing is we weren't going abnormaly fast. About 100 or so. So as the title says, am I at fault? Thanks in advance

I should add; I already offered to pay to fix the damage because he's a close friend and I just didn't want to start an argument over a stupid accident like this. I am just curious for future reference as I have never been involved in any accident before.

You're responsible for the load in or on your vehicle. If an object flies out of the bed of your truck, you're responsible. You're supposed to secure any load.

Sorry I had another question actually. When we go this weekend to get the damage assesed, and it turns out to be more than I can pay out of pocket, how does the insurance work? Do I call my company or does he simply deal with his? If I haven't already I should mention this is my dad's truck. Not mine. Thanks

Technically, you're supposed to notify your insurance company of any accident within the first 7 days. It's in your policy.

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…
