Re: Failure to pull over

Was just looking at this and noticed a response years later wondering what happened to me. I went to court and lost. The cop lied about a couple of facts so.....I was told by to JP that I must come to a complete stop. Even though there were cars several feet behind me and literally snow drifts for a...

Re: Failure to pull over

I highly disagree about your statement of my lack of due diligence. What about the 4 cars that were behind me about 7 car lengths back, travelling faster than I was? What about none of the cars who pulled over to the side and stopped like I was told on this board to have done that never did as the o...

Re: Failure to pull over

The first stop sign I was doing the speed limit and slid a quarter through it. The second stop sign the street had a 40 km speed limit and I was doing 30km because of first slide, and slid a quarter way through it. The red light scenario had me doing 40 on a 50km street and I still slid. It was icy ...

Re: Failure to pull over

Hi. I'm not trying to be a smart aleck by stating this, but I slid througth two stop signs and and half way through an intersection on a red light during that night. I felt because of that and having slid off of the road 3 times (once spinning around in circles) during snow storms that attempting a ...

Re: Failure to pull over

Yes my car does have ABS. But ABS doesn't work on ice. I went throught 2 stops signs and a red light on the way to the highyway. I don't have distances, only times. By the time I entered the highway, I had approx. 30 seconds until I reached the left shoulder accident. I was intently looking at that ...

Re: Failure to pull over

Ok I see. Im very confused then as to what was expected in that situation. I honestly felt that with everything happening so fast that to try and stop was impossible. I didn't want to risk spinning out into the accident on the shoulder, or the ambulance or myself into the ditch. What should I have d...

Re: Failure to pull over

I guess what it is is that I'm really worried and just trying to get some idea of the outcome. I did technically commit the offence, but I thought that what I did was honestly the safest route. All of this happened within a 30 second time frame which I felt was not enough time to try and stop under ...

Re: Failure to pull over

I was cited under 159 (1)(A). I'm just wondering if this is at all winnable in peoples opinion.

Failure to pull over

Hi. I would appreciate some feedback on this ticket. I recieved a ticket for failure to pull over for an emergency vehicle. During an icy, winter storm, I saw that I was approaching an accident up ahead on the shoulder. As I was already doing 70 in a 100km one, I still knew that I had to get into th...
