Hi, I need some help for the ticket of lmproper left turn. When i drove my car from east to west, intending to make a left turn and stop in front of stop line. There was a car in front of me, which has turn on yellow light. The light was turning red and then I thought I cannot leave in the intersection and turned, an incoming car was runing the light and hit me. No one got hurt but both cars had damages. There was a wittness (another driver) but he only left contact number to me instead of staying there. A police showed up and made us to make the statements, which I did. But as English is my second language and I am not good to describe the scene. My brain was messed up from shocking of the accident and the police urged me to finish it hurry because he had to go, I made a bad statement and said the light was yellow when I was turing. After home I recalled it was just turned red and then contacted the wit who said he saw it was turning red. He was in same direction of that driver and about same time to get the intersection. The policeman didn't give me the ticket until a week after. I know it was my fault because I didn't see that car was runing the light. But is there a way to defend myself? Should I go to court to take a chance? The policeman said there was no points for this ticket but I don't think so. Thanks in advance for help

If English is your second language (no matter how well you speak it!), you can get representation in your language, and the courts will have to provide you with a translator. Go to a police station, explain your situation, say that you have been confused and shocked by the impact, thus your testimony cannot be taken as reliable because of your shock and temporary inability to answer in English, and ask for a translator to your language. On a side note, the cop should not have hurried you at all, especially after a collision. They take 20-30 minutes to write a speeding ticket, and then hurry you up after a collision. Something's not right.

My average stop is 10min long...or less if the "printer" from the computer is working! :shock: Back to luckyrat...what was the charge that you received?

He asked me to write the statement first, and then talked with another driver. That driver decided to finish the statement at home and left. And then asked me to finish it quickly. He didn't issue the ticket right away. A week later he droped the ticket at my home but told me that there was no points charged on this ticket. He said it was just like parking ticket. It has been 20 days already since the accident, will it still fine to go to the police station and tell then the information I provided on the statement is not reliable because I was in shock? Will they believe me? On the ticket it says IMPROPER LEFT TURN, Act S141(6). The officer said no matter another driver was running yellow or red, I would be still charged for making an improper left turn.

I usually trust cops, but not this one! 141(6) carries 2 points (check with our "Demerit Points" table, or the one from MTO), so he lied right there, and I wouldn't believe what he said about the other driver either. You must be extra careful when dealing with tickets you received in collision, because if the other driver gets off without a ticket, you are automatically guilty of a collision! Don't even bother talking to the cop, try his supervisor instead, request the disclosure, and talk to a paralegal. If the other driver ran the red, then he is 100% responsible for the crash, not you with "improper left turn". Fight this ticket, you've only been served it recently, what you should have done is taken the collision report home in the 1-st place. The officer had no right to rush you, but he did.

Thanks for your suggestion. I've talked to a paralegal and I am going to fight with it. I am going to make a revised statement too. However, my insurance company already decided it was at my fault, even before they received the police's report, because they said person who does left turn would hold at fault always. And they told me that they would't renew my insurance in March (I had one at-fault claim before). I will need to pay two time of insurance premium then. If I win in the court, will the insurance change their conclusion? or they just follow their own rules?

The revised statement should be helpful, that's for sure. To address your concern about the insurance company, there's a separation between the outcome of the police investigation (Highway Traffic Act) and the insurance investigation. The insurance company's rules of finding who's at fault are made by the Insurance Act of Ontario and Fault Determination Rules. The outcome of your ticket will only affect your insurance rates down the road, not the insurance fault assessment in this collision. For insurance purposes, while it is true that a driver who turns left in front of another car is at fault for a collision, that should not apply if a driver runs a red light. Available at http://www.ibc.ca/en/Car_Insurance/docu ... -Rules.pdf You crossed the stop line when the light was still green for you, correct? That's the important factor. If you entered the intersection on green, and the driver blew through a red light, he'd be at least partially at fault, and you can certainly appeal their decision. See what they say. If you were stopped at the stop line, out of the intersection, and then began to move and entered the intersection on amber, both you and the driver who hit you disobeyed a traffic signal (if you can stop safely for the amber, you have to stop), so that cancels out and makes the driver who turned (you) at fault. Clear as mud.

15. (1) This section applies with respect to an incident that occurs at an intersection with traffic signals. R.R.O. 1990, Reg. 668, s. 15 (1).
(2) If the driver of automobile "B" fails to obey a traffic signal, the driver of automobile "A" is not at fault and the driver of automobile "B" is 100 per cent at fault for the incident. R.R.O. 1990, Reg. 668, s. 15 (2).

Thanks very much. I need your help for some more questions; 1) My understanding from your explaination is that I don't need to wait for court's decision and can appeal against the insurance company's conclusion now,right? but how and where can I do the appealing? 2) The driver who hit me said to the police that the lights were still green when crossing. The witness says it was turning red and he saw that driver was accelerating. The factor was the car ahead of me turned left on yellow and just jumped into red then I started turning (yes, i was already stay in front of stop lines on green). How can I fight with the insurance company then? They adjuster held me at fault from the factor just simply because I was making left turn, and said also will look at the police report. I didn't see the police report but since I got the ticket that means the police decided me at fault. So I have to go back to my first question- if i win on the court, will the police change their report and therefore I can use it to fight with the insurance company?

- I never ever tell anyone how many points are attached to a ticket, such as this case I might have a brain fart and give the wrong point amount, I always tell the driver to contact the MTO. - Drivers can not take the collision report home - supervisor would have reviewed the report and signed it, so speaking with the supervisor will do what? - we do not modify a TR after a court date, this is up to the insurance companies to battle out.

1. Telling people "contact MTO" is definitely NOT "no points, just like a parking ticket" 2. Apparently one did.... 3. See 2. 4. What's a TR?

No one would take the TR home, the only thing a driver would get at scene is a copy of top portion of the TR with the other drivers info on it. I know telling drivers to contact the MTO is most likely still going to be points. I just don't ever want to have a "brain moment" and tell someone that there is 3 points, when it could be none, 2, 4, 6, 7 or MORE. This way I am still relaying the correct information, if the person is so concerned they can contact the MTO, beside police do NOT issue points it is administered by the MTO

I didn't get a copy of top portion of the TR with the other drivers info on it. The police took our information and gave back me a Occurance number only. He said we didn't need to exchange information, just needto provide the number to our insurance company. Until now, I stil don't know another driver's any info.

hwybear: I stand unchallenged so far. The LEO did say no points associated (straight lie), not "contact MTO about this offense", which is what should have been done. Apparently he had a major brain fart there. He did allow the other driver to finish the report of some sort at home (TCR? Victim statement? whatever it is you make people fill out when they are involved in a collision)), which is overstepping his duties. He did not provide any info about the driver to luckyrat6, yet another violation. He did hurry a driver who was in a collision, who does not speak English natively, which resulted in mistakes on luckyrat6's statement. And what for? So that he can get his daily quota of speeding tickets, instead of doing his duty and helping someone in need? There might be more from the story, but I'll refrain from making any statement unless I have more info about cop's behaviour.

luckyrat6, call your insurance company and politely tell them that perhaps they did not correctly understand how the crash happened. If your adjuster said that the driver who turns left is always 100% at fault, he is not correct, and perhaps you should ask him for a clarification of why the Fault Determination Rules do not apply to this case. You've got easy access to a copy of them so that should be helpful, and you can quote it to him and ask him why he's ignoring that section. The other driver disobeyed a red light, you didn't, he hit you. The Fault Determination Rules are very clear: The driver who disobeys the traffic signal is usually 100% at fault, unless both drivers disobey the signal or there's other circumstances (drunk driving, etc). It may be worthwhile to send them a copy of your revised statement. You said you had a witness, right? Try to get a statement from him, if he's willing, that will verify your version of events. I would also suggest calling the Financial Services Commission of Ontario (FSCO) for advice. They regulate insurance in Ontario and, if you can't reach an agreement with your insurer, they provide mediation and arbitration services. This is their website: http://www.fsco.gov.on.ca/english/insurance/auto/drs/#h Call them. It's free.

I do appreciate your help, Radar Identified. I am going to talk to my adjuster but I don't think I can change anything. She apparently replied on the police's report, which has put me at fault from my first statement. The witness can only prove the light was TURNING red and the driver was accelerating. He is not very sure if the light turned red at the moment when another driver reached the stop line and I was actually making turn. You know, it is about 0.01 second thing. They wouldn't trust my revised statement and Hwybear also said the police would modify the TR after court date... I am desparated... My trail would be at least after April, when I have to sign with another insurance company, paying two times of current premium (over $4400 a year!!!) Even I win the trail, they wouldn't care someone they are not covering and the new insurance wouldn't either for another company's decision.....

It is just a statement from drivers and witnesses of anything of what happened. One tries to get all statements done at scene, (there might another priority call that comes in) so tell the person to write a statement out and collect it later.....not a big deal.....not overstepping duties. It is not a violation NOT to provide other driver info at scene, probably 90% of the time it is not possible. Give a person the incident number, they can contact the proper detachment/division for the info later. The officer has 10 days to complete the report.

You may be right, you may not be able to change anything. It's still worth a try. $4400 per year is a lot to pay in insurance premiums. If nothing else, FSCO could provide you with more help than I could. I'm told that they are usually helpful, and willing to clarify what should've happened and how the rules work, and so on and so forth. Try to protest the adjuster's decision as much as possible, as the insurance implications are going to hit you before fighting the ticket comes into play. Good luck with it, hopefully it turns out for the best. As for fighting the ticket, the paralegal should be able to get the charge dropped or reduced quite a bit. That will help with your insurance, although it will only be a small amount compared to if you got the "100% at fault" decision changed to either "50% at fault" or "0% at fault."

I've looked at FSCO's website, and found I can file a complaint. Thanks a lot Radar Identified. This is the right source I need to go, if the insurance company doesn't listen to me. I am going to try.

So heres my case, does it have any validity? Im argueing that the officer did not have a justified view of where and if my car stopped or not, which it did.
This is the officers view of the stop sign i "disobeyed"
Another possible viewpoint, just so i can say that he cant see regardless
As you can see he cannot see the line where i must stop
As close are possible (which he wasnt) to the intersection,…
I need some help to settle a "Right of Way" argument. I know this question has probably been asked a thousand times before, but after doing a search, I was unable to find a posting on the forum, or the specific section in the OHTA relating to it.
Scenario:
Two cars approach an intersection where the east and westbound directions are controlled by stop signs, and the north and southbound…
I was pulled over for doing 123 in an 80 zone on highway 7 near Peterborough. The officer reduced it to 109 in an 80. It was HIGHLY unlikely that I was going 109, let alone 123, so for the merit of it I am taking this to court. Court case mid January.
Please could you help me to decipher the officer's notes. Are there any errors in the notes or on the ticket that you can see?
Ive already done searches, read the act as best i can but still haven't read a complete answer. Where in the HTA does it state that the front license plate must be attached to the front bumper? I have it on the passenger sun visor (if ppl remember the old temp permits that taped to the pass side of windshield) i figured that this spot would be the same. However now they have got rid of…
Was pulled over earlier today for going 95km/h in posted 60km/h, 2nd offense (same cop that pulled me over the first time >.<) ticket of $265. going down dougall toward cabana where it goes from the 80 to 60 zone (yes was over slightly coming in and kept speed)
Just wondering what the best way to handle this? (location: windsor ontario)
I am a bartender and last saturday night while I was working someone backed into my car (2000 Acura Integra) in the prking lot. One of the cooks in the kitchen ran to tell me my car alarm is going off. Immediately I ran outside to discover my driver side mirror smashed on the ground and my driver door dented. There was nobody around to claim responsibility. I had already begun to suspect one…
Scenario regarding speeding charge - if a charge is not reduced at all at roadside, i.e. the charge, for example is "speeding 75 km/h in a 60 km/h zone contrary to s. 128," should that not mean the prosecution needs to prove that you are guilty of what you are being charged with, and not, simply, of speeding generally? I understand that if they prove a charge of even 61 km/h in a 60 km/h, they…
In a nutshell, in York Region, ran a stale yellow, cop was on a 407 off ramp and tickets me for red light. 2 week old pink slip, I forgot I put the new behind the expired one so I got a ticket for that as well.
Had the first court date adjourned because I did not receive disclosure. I used the Ticketcombat template and faxed it over, they told me I never left a phone number. No surprise there, I…
Was stopped in an OPP speed trap on eastbound QEW near Hamilton at 1:30 AM last week (Apr 25th). Officer said I was doing 131 km/h based on radar gun but I thought I was around 120 km/h (I let off the gas and looked at my speedo when I saw the 2 cars on the shoulder). It was a dark stretch and it was not busy but there were a few other cars on the highway. I asked to see the reading but they said…
1) Discovery info includes 3 pages of Genesis radar manual. Officer's notes show he used "Atlantic Laser" to measure speed. Didn't show model # (only s/n). The Genesis was used earlier on in the day, but not for my case. Can I grill him on this or is it simply a clerk's error in sending me the wrong manual?
I got a ticket for an expired licence sticker. The next day I went to the Ministry office to renew my sticker. I thought that I HAD to pay any outstanding tickets BEFORE I was eligible to renew my sticker. The lady at the desk informed me that I had an outstanding balance and 407 bill that I had a to pay and I told her that I was aware of that. I thought everything was cleared.
Last week I was driving though downtown and because of the slippery / wet conditions could not stop when the light was turning yellow to red and slid in to the intersection. I was hit by another car (near the headlamp). None of us were injured, there was significat damge to the cars. The air bags did not deploy.
I was given a ticket that reads : Red Light - fail to stop - H.T.A sect 144 (18) Fine…
I was just wondering if there was any text in the HTA that suggests that when driving on a highway with three lanes going in each direction, drivers should generally always be in the rightmost lane unless they are passing.
At first, I thought 154(b) was what I was looking for, but now I'm not so sure?
"Officials in West Vancouver, Canada apparently aren't satisfied with the driver-slowing properties of traditional speed bumps. Yesterday, the town unveiled a new way to entice motorists to ease off the gas pedal in the vicinity of the ÃÂcole Pauline Johnson Elementary School: A 2-D image of a child playing, creating the illusion that…
Does anybody know how you can check the status of your Demerit Points and how many you have collected over the last two years?
I just received a ticket as I was travelling through Barrie and am debating whether or not to fight it. My decision will be based on whether or not an infraction I received a year ago came with Demerit Points.
I have a question I would like to ask concerning turning right on a red light.
I was approaching on the right turn only lane to the traffic light which turned from amber to red. As soon as the red light came on, there were advance green left turn arrow for the intersection I was for the cars that were traveling right to left and left to right of me. Since there was a lot of traffic from where I…
So I got pulled over for speeding and following too close, on HWY 11 north of Barrie. The airplane caught me! I will fight this as I have fought ALL my tickets and won EVERY ONE of them (one per year... man I need to drive slower). So any thoughts out there on how to fight this one? Does the Crown have to bring the 2 officers in the plane, plus the one in the cruises to court? If 1 in 3 doesn't…
I am new to this forum and before making this post I did some digging and was unable to find anything on this method of officer note taking.
A little back ground of my case:
charged with 25km/h over the posted limit.
After numerous disclosure requests, finally received a detailed disclosure including several pages of the lidar manual and typed officer notes describing the events of my…

Can anyone tell me if this is worth the effort to get a reduction in the…
So I got pulled over for supposedly for running a stop sign. The problem is that I did a complete stop, waited a split second and started again. And yes I did stop behind the white line.
He took my information and went back to his car to write me up a ticket, came back and gave me my fine and explained to me the process. He gave me a reduced fine (65$ and ne points).
Someone has an accident in a car worth very little on highway 401 but the car is not drivable (but not in terrible shape), there is a police report filed right away in which no other cars were involved, however the car did strike a guardrail. Is it possible to handle this without involving insurance? Or is a forgone conclusion insurance will be notified by the police?
I made a minor mistake on my disclosure request - I put a "Request Date" of September 10, 2014 instead of 2015. The rest of the form is correct including offense date, fax date, trial date.
Will this affect my disclosure? Do I need to clear it up?
Also, I noticed the Ticket Combat disclosure form has a lot more information than what was posted in on this site. Is it OK to send a second…
