file the ticket for trial and request disclosure

R. v. Capobianco, 2010 ONCA 589 (CanLII): http://canlii.ca/t/2cj6m

crown needs to not only prove that you failed to drive in a marked lane, but also that the manoeuvre was not made in safety.

http://www.e-laws.gov.on.ca/html/statut ... uote]Where highway divided into lanes

154. (1) Where a highway has been divided into clearly marked lanes for traffic,

(a) a vehicle shall be driven as nearly as may be practicable entirely within a single lane and shall not be moved from the lane until the driver has first ascertained that the movement can be made with safety;[/quote]
