Ontario Highway Traffic Act

So I assuming the accident report was given by the other person, claiming there was some kind of accident? Was there any proof of an accident (pics/video) other than this persons word?

What part of your vehicle supposedly hit the other vehicle?

Anyway I would definitely contact your insurance company right away and then ask them how to proceed ...

Insurance has different rules for determining who is at fault. So even if other driver is not charged, that driver can still be found to be 100% at fault by insurance.

From your explanation, there is no reason the officer would not charge the other driver.

However whether they are charged or not is really irrelevent to insurance. So you will want to get police reports and witness statements to insurance as soon as possible.

150. (1) The driver of a motor vehicle may overtake and pass to the right of another vehicle only where the movement can be made in safety AND, (a) the vehicle overtaken is making or about to make a left turn or its driver has signalled his or her intention to make a left turn;

Okay so section 150 allows only a MOTOR VEHICLE (not a bicycle) to pass on the right. Section 148 talks about VEHICLES (not motor vehicles) which means this INCLUDES a bicycle.

Now all my theory was based on the fact that there was NO bicycle lane.

If there WAS a bicycle lane, then none of the sections I mentioned matter, as I was looking at it ...

It is if there is only one lane and it can not be done safely...

I would call them and ask if it is ready. Keep detailed log of date/time of all the requests you made and all the calls you make.

The courts have decided that the prosecutor has no obligation to tell you when it is ready and has no obligation to send it to you. The obligation is on you to check with them to see if it is ready, and all they have to ...

Nothing you can do but contact other insurance companies before yours is cancelled!

If we change bike to car, does that still apply?

If I am in the right turn lane closet to the curb, and another car comes up beside me from behind (between me and the curb) as I am turning, I would argue that my turn was in safety as I should not of had to check that location for another vehicle that was illegally there in the first place.

The radar instructor explained to me that this is because the radar uses Vehicle Interface protocol". He went on to say that VIP means the radar is tied to the cars ECM therefore it doesn't matter what the speedo says.

Wow, this is important... I had always assumed that the patrol speed displayed on the radar unit was calculated using the radar ...

Was there a seperate bike lane to your right? Was the bike in the same lane as you?

If in the same lane as you and no bike lane, I would argue that the bike is considered a vehicle and therefore should not have been in the same lane as you so therefore it is totally responsible.

You would have to pretty much prove the car behind you was basically tail gating you for this defense to work (like literally on your bumper almost AND that your life was in danger). This is probably next to impossible to do unless you had dashcam footage or a witness in your vehicle with you.

You would also have to be willing to testify under ...

I would just show up with your diagram and your girlfriend. The officers testimony is just about identification. He may give his opinion, but they need the other driver to testify.

If the other driver does not show up as a witness, then they will have to drop the charge and you win.

If the other driver does show up and testify, then you and your ...

Option 2 meeting prosecutor may work in your case, but if they do not offer you a deal you like, then you have to go back to trial on another day as well. Setting a trial date right away means one less possible visit and you will meet with prosecutor before hand anyways.

The prosecutor has no obligation to offer you any kind of deal or to drop any ...

I would recommend you plead not guilty to both and request a trial with the officer present. Once you get your notice of trial, then you can request disclosure (officers notes, copy of speed measuring device manual). Once you receive the officers notes, black out personal/officer info and scan and post here so we can give you more help.

18 over is ...
