Re: Possibility of having traffic ticket reduced to a bylaw

The case you're referring that gained media attention was commonly titled everywhere as "Is a three-point turn a U-turn?". It's where a Brampton man driving north, turned left into a driveway, reversed his car and proceeded south. He was found guilty. Section 143 of the Highway Traffic Ac...
