Re: If Charged with Careless while in Accident, how to fight it?

No worries. I can fold the screen in if that's the issue. I don't play with it while driving (no need really). Just hit record when I start the car. I highly doubt the gadget law will affect dash cams. If it does, I'll find a way around it.

Won't happen to me. If someone lane/brake checks me, I'll have all to evidence I need ;)

Re: If Charged with Careless while in Accident, how to fight it?

Our oldest boy faced this exact same scenario a few months back. Because it was his first HTA offense AND it is a very serious charge, we decided to pay the $400 to hire a paralegal. The Crown would have to call both the officer and the victim to the stand to successfully win a conviction. Neither showed on the court date and the careless charge ...

Re: Fail to obey signs when passing an OPP cruiser

That's one heck of a comma! If you are right, then basically the definition of a stunt is anyone driving without consideration to other drivers. That basically takes out every driver in TO. Hey, maybe that was Fantino's plan all along: revenge for TO firing his a$$!

It really just illustrates how difficult it is for the average citizen to know ...

Re: Fail to obey signs when passing an OPP cruiser

I ain't no English professor (hehe), but I believe the " By " being on the left of the comma restricts subsections i to iv to "[C]" only. If the " By " had been on the right of the comma, [A], AND [C] would have been associated to subsections i to iv.

I think it could be argued that the officer's conduct would fall under . Sure it would be a ...

Re: HTA172 and police conduct

I do not know that. I have heard the usual going with "the flow" blah blah blah defence heard in court thou, with a conviction still at the clocked speed. JP basically indicated that just b/c someone does "X" speed unlawfully does not make it lawful for anyone else to drive at that speed .

Seemed to be quite acceptable for THIS guy ;)

Re: Disabey Sign - Act 182(2)

In order to affect the points, the charge has to be changed. This happens all the time. It's normal court procedure.

I don't know how ALL insurance companies operate, but in my case, I got three tickets in one stop. I called my insurance agent and asked if one "roll stop sign" ticket would be a problem. No increase for one. What about two? That's ...

But it doesn't say that. Surely you're not suggesting this section of the Act isn't worded clearly enough ;)

Re: Explanation of "I intend to challenge" phrase plea

And the turkey blockin' the left lane gets positive reinforcement for his pathetic lane etiquette. Fantino has this Province SOOOO screwed up!

Call the Prosecutor at the court shown on the back of the ticket. Tell him your story and ask if, in order to avoid a trial, he would consider a plea bargain to a lesser charge (maybe "disobey sign" = 2 ...
