My daughter was driving my van behind a pick up truck. They were approaching an intersection with traffic lights when the truck in front of her suddenly swerved into the left turn lane to avoid a stopped vehicle. My daughter attempted to switch lanes as well but tagged the rear of the stopped vehicle with the front right of my van. She was subsequently charged with 148 (5) and interestingly enough, the officer encouraged her to plead not guilty and dispute the charge. If I can get these attachments to load correctly, you will see the ticket and disclosure package. I am interested in thoughts on how to proceed. Thanks in advance.

The officers diagram is somewhat inaccurate. The intersection has a left turning lane at each approaching roadway. See my drawing. If she was going to overtake a vehicle as per 148 (5) this would cause her to go into the left turn lane, and most likely into on coming traffic. (She probably would have avoided the accident if she managed to get into the left turn lane, however I am referring to the HTA for discussion here.)

I was driving on Eglinton W and turn right on Strathearn (near Eglinton/Allen Road). There was a no right turn (from 3pm to 7pm) sign which I didn't see.
The cop was waiting there, apparently nobody sees the signs but they are there.
I don't believe I have much to do here but, trying to find…
I know this technically doesn't fit on this board (3 demerit points) as it seems that 15km/h over just means a 50 dollar fine, I would like some advise though, I'm not sure how I should proceed.
The incident happened in Feb, driving south on highway 400 near Barrie. I was in the fast lane, doing…
Quick question about debris (broken taillights ect) from an accident and responsibility.
If someone hit something that broke off (not cargo), but 30 minutes after the original accident and other cars managed to avoid everything. The debris was avoidable who is responsible for damage to that car.
Need some advice on reaching a plea deal with the prosecutor and how to go about talking to the crown. I'm not here to be lectured ect. I'm aware I made a mistake, and need advice on fixing it. So kindly keep comments about my impulsive decision to yourself.
First post..... My fiancee this week was in an accident and she was handed a 3 demerit point 154 (1) (a) charge for 115 dollars or something and 3 demerit points.
Demerit points do not matter to insurance companies, convictions do ... is there a chance that she could go to court and the…

Got stopped for what I thought was going to be speeding, officer apparently had other ideas which needless to say surprised the heck out of me since Im positive I was not going over 150.
Ive done a LOT of reading already on here, Ticket Combat and some specific cases on Canlii (need to look up even…
I just received my first stop sign ticket in Markham. Has anyone successfully defended a stop sign ticket? If so, what strategies did you use? The officer that pulled me over said I slowed down but didn't stop. I felt that I stopped momentarily. I have no previous moving violations or…
