Because he has the stop sign, he must yield right of way to you. If a collision occurred, he would be found 100% at-fault.

Re: FTC ticket: rear-ended the lady but no damage

Many many cases have been thrown out because officers have laid FTC in rear-end collisions. The appropriate charge should have been Careless Driving. Just because there was a rear-end collision, doesn't mean the driver was following too closely.

I don't believe they have evidence of FTC, based on what you described. You should not have picked ...

From what you described, you fit the "race" definition, i'm sure the screeching part will be associated with that rather than "stunt driving"; because stunt driving requires that your tires lost traction while turning.

Re: Fighting Ticket: Early Resolution Meeting

The better approach is to choose the trial option. Once you get your notice of trial in the mail with the trial date. Request disclosure (ie. officer notes, witness statements, dashcam video) from the office of the prosecutor.

Re: Red Light Camera Ticket Driver a German Who Has Poor Eng

Failing to stop for a red light is an absolute liability offence in Ontario. The courts are only interested in whether she stopped or not, they don't care why she didn't stop.

Why does she plan on proceeding to trial? What is your friend's defence to running the red light?

The ticket does not affect your insurance or driver's license; she might ...

Re: 87 km/h on 60km/h Road

Speeding is an absolute liability offence, the courts are only interested in whether you were speeding and by how much. Why you were speeding is not relevant unless it was a life/death circumstance.

Instead of waiting behind the transport truck for an additional 300m, you went +27km/hr in order to overtake the truck within a distance of 300m?

Re: Dashcams

I recommend taking a look at the G1W, there are a few variants G1W-C (capacitor), G1WH (wider lens).

For the relatively cheap price of ~$40 it shoots really good day & night videos.

Re: accident in car - some assitance pls

If both of you were sharing the centre line and sideswiped then you're 50/50. If both of you were driving over the centre line and sideswiped it's 50/50.

It will come down to the insurance adjusters reviewing the damage and both your statements.

If the other driver says he was driving straight and all of the sudden a car moved into his lane ...

Re: Testing after traffic-stop not required for Laser Ally?

So we just came back and the new sitting prosecutor also said that laser devices only need to be tested either before or after. They don't need to be tested twice.

She said that R. v. Sepiashvili [2003] O.J. No. 3996 says that the Justice of Peace can be satisfied with only one test being performed.
