Based on what you have said, you both could have been charged. You for pass unsafe, and the other driver for unsafe turn. Careless driving is often laid by the police as almost all plea to something lessor.

An officer has the discretion to issue a ticket for a lower speed than what is actually driven at. That is old case law. If you were driving at 115, obviously you drove at 110. An officer cannot raise the speed to something that did not occur unless he/she wants to lie. For your scenario, your only avenue is a trial. You have to admit you were ...

[quote]Where is 615 is this?
I would expect no heavy truck to include any CMV with a RGW over 4,500kgs....that would make it simple across the board[/quote]


That was in response to THETRUCKER's post. He was charged under the HTA for heavy truck, likely 182(2) Disobey Sign. Ont. Reg 615 describes the signs permitted to be used on a highway ...

Your right on the fine (65) I didn't include the surcharge. I've done this for 21 years, and a copper that Charges No Ins for fail to have ins card is lazy. It is a reverse onus, but you still need evidence of the charge. An officer has 2 years to lay a no insurance charge. It requires ordering certified documents from the MTO and then making a ...

The 404 starts/ends at the 401. The DVP starts/ends at the south side of the 401.

Reopening the case is possible since you were"advised" (hopefully) to plea to a charge that is not applicable. Of course that eans the trial again nd taking a chance a finding of guilt for careless. To fight this you need to do some research on a knowledgable ...

Hwybear, you are correct about section 134(2) is for closing a highway. 134 refers to the Regulations. The regulation it refers to describes what must be used to close a highway and a car is not included. Traffic cones (pylons) no entry sign, and saw horse style barracades are. Without using what is specified means no offence has been committed ...

The police have 6 months to lay the charge. This is one of the few charges that can laid against the owner of the vehicle and not the driver. No demerits for the owner, 6 points for the driver.

You do not have to give a verbatim or written statement, point form will do. The Supreme Court has ruled that the evidence you give is compelled by ...

there are several cases where the courts have thrown out the careless driving charge for not being the correct charge. If what you posted is the truth and complete story then fight this and consider not pleading to a lessor charge. In one case in Toronto the Appeal court overturned a conviction for careless. It ruled that careless is not a charge ...

The officer has to give a "direction" for this charge to stick. Using the car to block the road does not count either as the HTA specifies the signs and or barracades that must be used. the officer was just lazy at the time. Also, you said you received the ticket in a parking lot. Section 134 only applies when on a highway (road, street, etc). It ...
