Ontario Highway Traffic Act

SO this is my 2c's (options)

1> work out the cost of going to court, parking, loss of wages and of course the fine. (it will only ever be mon-fri they want to punish you criminals even further :) )
2> I guess going to ER (early resolution) you could put a case, they "may" listen to you, you could do something on the fine, as you say you have a ...

WHAT are you saying that people "lie" or expand on the truth.......... NEVER LOLZ

ynotp wrote:It happens, I wouldn't say it's unusual, but not overly common either. Usually when people go to the reporting centre they all say they were the ones driving properly so there isn't much basis to issue a ticket.

It's really the same had you hit a cop car, whoes word are other LEO's going to accept.
Get a GOOD paralegal,
your not debating you hit the car, but HOW you hit it, otherwords, you where pushed,
sitting on the fence "people drive far too close and do not keep enough stopping/braking distance or PUSHING distance"
not saying this was the case, but ...

you said you skidded into the car, maybe you should have said, "I was pushed into the car by the car behind me I even had my brakes on (I assume)"
OR, sorry officer, I've just been in a serious accident, I need medical assistance, my name is, my address is my DOB is, my insurance is........ keep mouth SHUT
or I'm sorry I really don't know it happen ...

Multi Car Pile Up: Who is at Fault?

Who is at fault in a multi car pile up? This instance is one of the hardest for the insurance companies to decide. There are general rules of thumb that can help determine who was at fault.

Always, if you rear end someone, you are at fault. It doesn't matter how slow they were going, or why they slammed on ...

If your holding it, that's all that is required, doesn't matter where, stop light etc, if the engine is running and your on the road i.e not pulled over and properly/safely stopped.
Clean record doesn't matter
I don't think it can be reduced as there is no other charge to reduce it to,

Others will be along to corroborate and offer advise

oh wait a minute, didn't something go through from gov't that insurance companies had to reduce there quotes ? I believe it wasn't mandatory.

anyway I'm not complaining, though sig other is

txs for the response., so as I said no details, this wasn't a Road traffic issue, but it WAS a serious criminal issue they where trying to charge me, which would have meant a jail term.
On the first call (telephone), they didnt even identify themselves AS police, they had ALSO used a family member to lie to me.
There was No evidence against me and ...

hey thats a good read, just a question and sorry for the hijack
you said "but NEVER ask a question that you do not already know the answer too"


why is that

thinking you want them to give an answer that would ...

Most people I pull over don't know what a permit looks like, nor an insurance card. (I usually end up,saying "the green pice of paper and the pink one!" How would you expect them to navigate around the dashboard of a car!

They may not be able to turn on their hazards or parking lights but I'll bet they can whiz right through the nav/sound/phone ...

NO WAY !!!!!!!!!!!, you get that....... LOLZ

There should be part of the driving test where you should be able to show some competence/awareness of your car instruments.
How, when, why to put lights on, correct use of fogs,

Most people I pull over don't know what a permit looks like, nor an insurance card. (I usually end up,saying "the green ...

another good point, what the hell has happened to courtesy, many years ago, us drivers used to look out for each other, see a leak of water, no brake lights, even warn oncoming cars of speed/cops laying in wait.
now, "screw you", I always give a wave like you and then get thoroughly pi$$ed when the driver doesn't return it, as if it was there right ...

mine told me (a few years ago) depends on the ticket, I had a doing a u-turn where there was a no uturn sign, the insurance wasnt too bothered about it
the speeding, only regarded as a minor, it did go up last year about 5-10% but this year has gone down.

to add, my auto lights ALWAYS bring on back and rear lights and dash, when it's just under twilight or very dim

NEVER had a problem with them,
