Hello, I was hoping I could get some advise from this knowledgeable group. I was involved in an accident at a T-intersection. I was heading NB on side road and was only one with a stop sign. There were no cars approaching the intersection when I proceeded to pull out slowing. At the same time the other vehicle pulled out from the parking lot directly to my right, also making a left turn onto the main road. The parking lot exit is literally about 3 metres from the road I was on. Anyway we both collided in left lane of the WB lanes. It was a minor collision. The other driver called her insurance company immediately to report her accident, I dont have one so couldn't. I waited until she was done so I can get her info. I even spoke to her insurance company and gave them my insurance info and DL#. The other driver asked them if she had to report the accident to police. They said that if the damages were minor she didn't have to. We exchanged info and went on our seperate ways. I went home to report the accident to my insurance company and get a call from the police station asking me to go into the station to give my insurance info as the other driver did not jotted down. I went to the station, officer asked me for my info. I looked down and the he had already completed the report and diagram without getting my statement. Can he do this? The diagram stated that the other driver had been on the WB on main road the whole time and that I pulled out of the stop sign and hit her. I told him this wasn't the case and that he just took her word as fact without even an investigation. He didn't even look at my car. He then gave me ticket me with HTA 141(5) with no witnesses only the other driver's statement. And told me he had to give me a ticket or else his supervisor wouldn't sign on it. Can I fight this since I don't have a witness supporting my story? Does this ticket even apply at a t-intersection?

Sorry about that. That should have occured to me. This accident occured on Church St and Holland St W in Bradford. I was travelling SB on Church St, and it may hard to tell on google street view, but the exit to the parking lot is between Catherine Gifts and the Temp office. I would appreciate any advised given, I really don't know what to do.

Got two very heavy tickets -- for failing to stop for a school bus, and for using a handheld device. Was running late in a morning rush traffic in Toronto and apparently passed a school bus on the opposite side w/o noticing its signal. A few meters after that I stopped behind the other cars waiting…
I recently received a ticket for proceeding contrary to sign at an intersection. While there are other issues with the offence (sign is not visible until 10ft from intersection, officer wrote wrong license plate number on ticket) my biggest question is about the sign itself.
I posted here a *while* back when I first got my speeding ticket, and I've been fighting it forever. Anyway, long story short - I went and had an appeal and both the prosecutor and the Judge agree that I have valid grounds to appeal on, but what we're arguing is whether the correct remedy is a…
My wife had an auto accident back in May. It is gradually being dealt with by our insurance company ( by the broker actually). My question is about the legal power of the insurance code OAP1. Evidently this set of rules is the Ten Commandments for the insurance companies and the adjustors seem to…
What is the requirement for stopping when a school bus is traveling down the roadway, initiates the flashing red lights while still moving but has not yet stopped? If a motorist is traveling through an intersection (through the free-flow approach, minor-street stop controlled) and an oncoming…
In 2005, the government passed legislation that enabled the introduction of variable speed limits at some point in the future. It didn't take effect right away, so it sat waiting for "proclamation by the Lieutenant Governor." Just by chance... I was reading the HTA earlier while browsing this…
I was on my way to work on a divided four lane highway. I was in the right hand lane following the flow of traffic. There was a slower car ahead of me and I wanted to change lanes and maintain my speed. When I looked in my left side mirror, I notice a red car going pretty fast in the passing…
So i got charged with Hand Held Device, just want to ask everyone if i could use this as my defence
