Could you clarify what did I do that was "stunt driving?" I am confused with this website. As far as I am aware, this website is there to help others win their tickets? I don't understand the nature of this post. All of my lane changes were safe with 1-2 cars length in distances and my turn signals can be heard on my dash cams audio. No lane changes at intersections either.screeech wrote:I am surprized the cop didn't charge under the stunting legislation, S. 172 HTA, and suspend the licence for 7 days and impound the car for 7 days...

Re: Careless Driving Charge for switching several lanes etc.
Ynotp: Hmm why do you think so? When he followed me I was driving in the same lane without switching because I did get nervous as to why he's right behind me. If you are replying to my message.... you know you are a law abiding citizen getting pulled over for a 'minor' traffic issues; the copper has no idea who you are. I always ran computer checks before activating emergency lights. More coppers are killed on traffic stops than you would imagine. Thanks for clearing that up. I thought that as well but in the past when I was pulled over, it was immediately and not a minute wasted. That's why ...

Re: Careless Driving Charge for switching several lanes etc.
Request a trial right away. The officer has not alleged you were speeding; that's definitely a good thing. If your dashcam video shows you were changing lanes occasionally to provide a clear lane in which you could drive at the speed limit, that is also a good thing. IMO, Careless should only apply if you were weaving into and out of lanes, trying to pass drivers so you could fly. Drivers change lanes all the time. 37 years ago, Young Drivers taught me to get "The Big Picture," and to choose the "lane of least resistance" to help me do that. In the last six years, YD has t...

Careless Driving Charge for switching several lanes etc.
Hello everyone, First off, I would like to thank you for taking the time to read my post. I believe I was charged a ridiculous offence. No tickets, 11 years licences, no accidents etc. My first ticket, he gave me a careless driving charge. He followed me for a good few minutes before pulling me over. Why didn't he pull me over immediately? He asked me, "Why are you driving like that?" I said, "I was just driving.." He said, "You're a danger for people on the road. You're scaring other drivers. I saw you making SEVERAL lane changes, excessive acceleration and excessive ...
