Ontario Highway Traffic Act

You need to come to grips with the fact that you are in all likelihood going to jail for a period of time. Running away only prolongs the inevitable.
You should start making smarter decisions.

Yes, a lawyer you are not.

Hi
On Monday, i was in a Metro parking lot and backed into a parked car. I hit the drivers side door and left a pretty big dent. I pulled over, got out of my car, took a business card and left it under the right wiper. Then I went home... I was so freaked out that 20 minutes later I came back, but the car was gone. I've been waiting all week for ...

Thanks for your response.

I realize it was dumb to admit that fact to the officer. I am requesting a trial for it. I spoke with my insurance company and they said, it won't increase my premium as it's my first offence.

I have been cruising around 115-120 range ever since I got my license (~7 yrs) and this is the first time I got a ticket. I don ...

I agree with you on this guy being robbed by the insurance companies.... But jail time? Get a grip.

I am a bit confused as to what I need to worry about here!

Had an at-fault accident yesterday late in the evening.
Was too shaken up so just towed the car to garage and headed to a doctor.

This morning, registered a claim with insurance.
Then had the car on a tow, brought to the collision reporting centre.
They assessed a 7K damage and were ...

I'm a science teacher at a high school and I rear ended the same school bus twice near the school and I want some advice on what to expect for the trials which are soon. I've asked around and it seems my chances are unfortunately slim.

The first time I had just bought a 2nd hand car and it came with a carpet that was a bit like a hard sponge. In ...

@ynotp. Priceless. I say Airplane, to somewhere far,far away.

No the car is registered on my dad's name. My dad is the primary account holder, but I'm the primary driver for the car, as we have 2 cars in the household.
I would start by letting him know what happened and he should spring for a top notch lawyer. The premiums in his household are all going to blast through the roof for a long time to come if ...

As i mentioned i don't think i could afford to get top of the line service.

Is the car you were in insured in your name?

Hi, need some advice to feel better, or worse.

Today I was driving home from work in an 80km/h zone. In the other lane I saw a school bus (no median, bus was coming AT me). I was about 10 car lengths away and while still moving the school bus engaged the flashing lights. He was still moving of this I am sure. I did not know if I had to stop or ...

ahh, okay. does my ticket have any missing areas that will allow it to get dismissed?

Red light camera camera offenses are pretty standard. The technology calculates all the numbers and then someone looks it over to make sure the pictures show everything they need to show (you behind the line, red light, you passed the line, red light, license ...

I've been caught by a red light camera before. The first time I ran it was after the light had been red for 0.6 seconds. I took the early resolution route, plead guilty, and got it reduced from $325 to $125. :D

You would think I'd have learned my lesson but I just got another one in the mail. This time I ran the light 37.1 seconds after it ...

It isn't ethical to allow someone to plead guilty to something you know they didn't do. A lesser charge is based on the same series of events. For example fail to stop goes down to improper stop.
I was in court last year to dispute a illegal right turn ticket. I was very surprised and lucky to have the fine reduced and plead guilty to ...
