Thanks for understanding my situation Lawman!

The key part is if it can be done safely. I maintain that I could not move into the left lane safely because it was rush hour and there were cars in that lane. But like someone mentioned it is my word against the cops I guess... And yes it was 3 lanes each direction

I know no one has replied to this thread for awhile but i'm looking for some advice... I was just charged with this offence on a 3-lane street in Toronto, not a highway. I was also not aware of this law. I had just pulled out of a driveway down the street when I saw that the officer had someone pull...
