Hello all,

Somebody rear ended me last week pretty badly.
My car is a write off and the officer who attended the scene emailed me his report.

I can see that the other driver was charged with careless driving but I can't seem to figure the rest out.

The report has numbers along the side of the page and the officer put different coloured ...

Thank you for the reply Argyll.

I eventually got a hold of the insurance agent.
He said they received a letter from a lawyer stating it was my car that hit them. When I asked for further details he wouldn't give me anymore until I threatened to call the ombudsman.

He then said apparently I was involved in a "hit and run" with this car and rear ...

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for some guidance as to what I should do.
I got a call today from someone who claims they're from my insurance company and they left me voicemail along these lines
"Good evening Tom, This is so and so calling from TD Insurance, just giving you a call in regards to a car accident you were in on September 9th 2016. Our ...

Good morning everybody.

Does anybody know when a child should be allowed to sit in the front seat of a car?
I tried looking around for answers but nobody has a definite answer.

I've heard different answers ranging from age 8 to age 14.
I know air bags can cause serious injury to children and sometimes it can be fatal.
However I can't find any law ...

Thank you all for your replies.

The person who hit my car ended up reporting it to the security personnel yesterday (a day after he hit my car).
It is who I expected it to be so I went out and got a quote to fix my car and called him to let him know it's $1200.
He said the price was too high and to give him one day to talk to his "mechanic".

Am I ...

Hello everybody,

I am wondering if you all could possibly help me out.
My car is parked in a private underground parking at night when i'm home from work.
This afternoon when I was walking to my car as I was about to head to work I saw the front of my car damaged.
The front license plate has been completely ripped off of the bumper, and there's ...

Hi Hawaii

Yes she had her turn signal on before turning.
It's just the way the rules were written that seems unfair.
Nothing she can do about it now since she has already reported it to insurance.

Thank you Stanton and CliffClaven for your replies.

I saw the part that Stanton was talking about where if the motor vehicle was overtaking multiple vehicles then the other vehicle is at fault.
Why does that change anything?
Howcome it's 50-50 when it's just 1 vehicle but 100% the other person's fault if they're overtaking more vehicles?
I'm ...

Hi Everybody,

A friend of mine today got into a car accident as she was turning left into her driveway.
Basically this is what happened, she was driving on a residential street,
there are no markings on the street to seperate lanes but it's still a 2 way street (cars are allowed to head north and south on the street).

She was heading north and ...

I remember when an officer gave me a ticket even though I was in the car.. I actually walked out of my car and took a few pictures of the officer standing next to my car and then a few pictures of the officers vehicle for the day with his license plates..the pictures were time stamped too! I was then told by the officer I could take as many ...

Did you remember to make the motion before entering a plea of any sort?

I've filed for 11B twice and twice was successful.

First time the prosecutor was nice and did everything for me, she called me up and told the JP i filed for an 11B and it was accepted.

The 2nd time I had to work for it and educate the prosecutor on how an 11B works.

I ...

Wait so if an officer gives me a ticket at the Airport for anything, it's not a HTA ticket?
My wife was told she made an "illegal u turn" a month ago because she was lost and drove to a dead end,
she ended up making a 3-point turn and the officer jumped out right away to say it was a U-Turn
I don't get it, if you drove to a dead end, how else do ...

I think it works both ways.
If you file for a court date the next day then it shows the court and the officer
You won't back down from a fight and you'reready for a battle .

On the other hand, if you wait it out then maybe the officer had other thingsto do
And forgot to file his paperwork properly.

I always file right away so if I end up ...

Any conviction on your record could affect your insurance rates.
It all depends on how your insurance wants to treat that ticket.
Demerit points mean nothing to insurance companies..
Mto is who keeps track ofyour ppointsfor ssuspension purposes only.
To insurance companies, a conviction for speeding means you were speeding even if it's only ...

Thanks guys..

I just wish he'd be more specific during his explanation so I can sleep better at night lol

he ended the conversation with either "I'll let you go with a warning for now but don't do it again"
OR
"You'll be receiving something in the mail"

Then I'd be able to get this off my mind

Hi everybody!

I got pulled over by an officer today and I'm not sure if I'm getting a ticket or not

To make a long story short, my wife and I were on our way to dinner at 7pm tonight when it was foggy and a little dark.
I will admit that as I approached the intersection the light was amber/yellow and as I drove through the intersection
the light ...

Thank you for your replies Stanton and Radar Identified...

Yes, my insurance company's filled with Jerks who do nothing more than just answer phones, put me on hold for 20 minutes only to be hung up on.
the reason i'm still with them is because of my accident back in 2008!. It would've been 5 years at the end of this year since that accident and i ...

Thank you for the replies iFly55 and Radar Identified.

The phone calls have stopped for now because it's the weekend.
I was stiff as a board in bed yesterday and had to answer all these questions from the insurance company..
The tow truck driver was trying to get me to agree to have the car fixed at his buddy's place
I wanted the car fixed at the ...

Hi everybody,

To make a long story short, I was travelling southbound on Allan road towards Yorkdale and just before the offramp to the 401 and yorkdale, a BMW swirved into my lane and cut off the corolla infront of me.
The corolla slammed on his brake and stopped, I slammed on my brake and stopped but the van behind me did not. He plowed right ...

I was watching Breakfast Television this morning and they ran a story about how the traffic officers at 31 division was given a quota of writing atleast 25 traffic tickets per day (one book). I thought I heard wrong until I got to work (making sure I didn't drive 1km over 60 because i live in the area) and googled up the article on the toronto sun ...

Hi everybody,
I just have a quick question about having a Disability Parking Permit from the ministry of transportation.

First I want to start off by saying that I don't mean to offend anyone on here who may have one, but I just have a serious question about this..

The route I take to work everyday requires me to drive past a certain hospital and ...

Hi everybody,
I'm trying to help out a buddy of mine, his father got a speeding ticket at Allen Road and Lawrence today.
Apparently the officer showed his father the radar gun with the speed of the vehicle, he was going 20km over the limit.
Everything went pretty much routine except when he looked over the ticket again at home
he noticed that the ...

First,
I would like to say a big THANK YOU to everybody who spends a few hours of their day everyday to check up on us civilians and help guide us through the legal chaos that is our court system.
I also owe a THANK YOU to ticketcombat's website as well!

I've had 2 court cases this year...both a few months apart.
One was for an improper right turn ...

Awesome, thank you for the help.
I had originally taken a few pictures of the scene before I moved my car that day and made sure I
had the time and date stamped on the pictures. However, I went back yesterday (a year later) and noticed some new things...

The fire route is a long strip that extends from one end of the block to the other.
It's also ...

Thanks everybody for the quick response.
I guess I'm gonna go to trial without disclosure, good thing it's just a parking ticket huh? lol
It's a $250 fine, I don't mind paying but I think it's just too steep for a misunderstanding :(

Well I got ticketed at Yonge and Sheppard.
I was out with my fiancee and my dad who has a disabled parking pass and ...

I got a ticket for parking in a fire route when I pulled over next to a Condo.
The parking officer just came up from behind my car and slapped a ticket on the windshield.
My fiancee (who is a licensed driver) was in the car at the time and quickly ran outside to let the officer know she's still in the car
the officer said "Too late its already ...

Hi,
My co-worker just got a ticket last month or so for speeding around 20km to 25 km over the limit in Vaughan, Ontario.
Apparently he was driving down Rutherford road and he said there's an area where the speed limit drops from 70km to 60km.
The officer was slightly behind the 60km sign and tagged him for speeding before he even entered the 60km ...

...and this is what you see AFTER you make the right turn

I used to live right behind that foresters building and I know EXACTLY what the original poster is talking about.

Usually during hot sunny summer days, a lot of police officers will park their cars up on the lawn between the road and the sidewalk and just stand there and talk.
Every once in a while they will look up and watch people turn towards ...

- pulling over as sick and to change drivers *good thing*
- you stop and get out, but fiancee doesn't get out as original intention, she doesn't watch where your going when you exit....BUT instead decides to start taking pictures out the window of a bylaw officer, just in case he comes over? - that doesn't pass the smell test

The picture was ...
