I would have charged both of you with careless for driving in a snowstorm. Did you take pictures or are there any witnesses? If the lane markings are obscured and you told the officer that you turned for whatever reason into the oncoming path of another car then I'd say you are at fault.
If you challenge the ticket you will be offered a reduced ...

Re: Speeding Ticket (possible fatal error)
Looks like a fatal error to me so much for computers...
Here's a pretty good blurb about it:

It will be easiest for you to just ignore the ticket though you run a small risk of the JP missing the error and you having to appeal.

Re: Speeding Ticket (possible fatal error)
You got it, simple do nothing (ignore the ticket) and a justice of the peace will quash the ticket after 15 days. If you go to court for trial they will amend the ticket so that it is correct so you do not want to do that. If the justice doesnt notice the error on the ticket you can appeal.

Re: Got a careless driving charge at non-functional traffic
You can argue whatever you want but I doubt you will be successful. You need you get your disclosure and see what the officer's notes say about the witness statements. I'm going to guess they are saying you blew into that intersection without stopping and were hit by the other car who just started to proceed from the 4 way stop (they might even say ...

Re: Speeding Ticket (possible fatal error)
If the ticket does not state the speed you were travelling at and the limit of the posted zone they you would be well advised to follow Stanton's advice and go the forcing a fatal error route. Forget about everything else.

Re: Early Resolution Meeting - Advise Appreciated
Admitting you lied to a police officer is a more serious offence than the careless driving offence charge itself. By going that route you put yourselves in over your heads and you aught to hire competent representation for your daughter because your actions thus far have actually made matters worse for the both of you. If money is a problem now ...

Re: Emergency Vehicle and Intersection Rules??
How do you know that the ambulance driver made a left from the right lane if you couldn't see or hear him until the accident was inevitable? Do you have any independent witnesses (persons not in your car) to support that there were no sirens, flashing lights, and your view was completely obstructed? What did the ambulance driver say?

Re: Looking to do a medical reinstatement for substance abus
Congratulations on not taking opiates anymore (it's rare someone beats the habit they usually just switch to methadone for life on the taxpayer dime). With your history most doctors are likely to consider any evidence of drug use as abuse. It's not necessarily about what you take, it's if you take anything at all that effects your sobriety. Do ...

Re: Advice needed - Evidence not found not disclosed
This is incomplete disclosure, normally solid testimony from the officer should be enough to convict you, but if there was a video you have a right to see it and they are obligated store it properly so that will happen. You should ask for the case to be stayed before the trial begins (it is not a slam dunk, there is a process so do your homework ...

Re: Courts have lost jursdiction
No paperwork required. Anything said in court is on record. There is nothing to be shocked about, the system worked the way it was supposed to because despite your lack of knowledge of the system you ended up getting out of a ticket because the paperwork was off. If they could have taken you to trial or got you to plead guilty they certainly would ...

Sounds like the prosecutor noticed a fatal error and withdrew the charge. You were told you were free to go an the matter was resolved? Correct?

Re: Disobeying Sign HTA 182(2) - Richmond Hill
Request trial, get disclosure. If the turn is legal is after 9am and your ticket says 8:58 you would be disputing only the time that it is was after 9am that you turned and since it was after 9 it was perfectly legal.
I think you could beat this at trial if you present strong unwavering testimony that you saw the sign, checked your clock to make ...

Likely a fatal error on the ticket or a ticket that was filed too late. We're not mind readers could you elaborate on the situation and under what circumstances you met the prosecutor?
