Long story short I've been given a ticket for "Failure to furnish required information" under section 199 (1) and am charged $110 (related to an accident). I'm wondering 2 things: Are there demerit points associated with this and how long does this stay on my record? ( I asked the second but the officer was unsure how long it stays on record and I forgot to ask about demerits). I did some googling but this offense did not turn up any information. I'm hoping it doesn't carry many demerits....a lot of demerits would make me consider fighting it...but fighting it will also make me lose sleep (I'm freakishly nervous so even the concept of having to go to court WILL keep me up many nights). The closest offense that came up in my searching was "failure to report an accident" and it had 3 demerits and the same fine (110$). The "failure to remain at the scene" had 7 demerits so I hope "failure to furnish" is not like that! Also what does the option 2 mean? "Plea of Guilty - submission as to penalty" is that just you saying, "yes I'm guilty but I do not want to have the demerit points because XXX"?

It is three demerit points. The other issue pertains to insurance. Did you notify your insurance provider of the collision? (Doesn't matter if you submit a claim or not, still must notify your insurance company per the Insurance Act.)

Well three is not to crazy, same as a speeding ticket I think. No I haven't called insurance. The cop who took my statement said I did not have to so I was not planning on doing so...so now I'm confused, I've never actually heard of the insurance act. Also any idea how long the points and charge stays with you?

You should call your insurance company. When I had my hit-and-run, reporting to the collision centre should have automatically notified the insurance company - however, the agent I spoke to two days later had no record of it. Reporting an accident is separate from making a claim on the accident - if at fault, your rates will be affected less with one accident and no claim than with one accident and one claim. Rates should not be directly affected if found not at-fault. I've glanced through the CAIA and OHTA and can't find a requirement to report accidents to your insurer, so this is likely part of your contract.

Thanks all, That clarifies things. Squishy, I didn't know the collision centres ever reported them for you (but then again I've only had one other incident and called them immediately myself anyways). I'll see if I can dig out my contract, or call and ask tomorrow. It would be annoying to have my rates go up but not my main concern. My main concern is the whole 'On your record' thing. I do not like the idea of having a tarnished record (but like the idea of facing court even less).

Hi. My wife was pulled over tonight for merging into a carpool lane to turn right 65 meters before the turn, rather than 45 meters. They had 16 cars pulled over (she took a picture with her cell phone camera), 5 cruisers. Not much you can do about that one I guess, just a bummer. That, however, is not why I am here.
The officer also wrote her a ticket for failing to submit her permit (which I…
I recently got pulled over and charged with 135 in a 100 zone. the cop claims i was doing 135 when i had my cruise control on the whole way only doing 115. the cop said he was travelling in the opposite direction on the 401 and his radar picked me up. he then did a u turn and caught up with me. there is NO way i was speeding. i was locked into my cruise control at 115 the whole way! i am planning…
I've searched for hours looking for a similar situation to mine on a number of forums, and I couldn't come up with anything close. I know I need to file for disclosure tomorrow (my court date is October 7th), and plan to do so regardless of what else I end up doing, but I could really use some help with this one.
I was arrested on private property after being watched and stalked for over two hours…
Hey everyone. Back last summer I got a parking ticket for being within 3m of a fire hydrant. Funny thing is, I parked (in my estimation) at least far enough away from it, deliberately. There were no markings on the pavement but I can't believe I was within 10 feet of that thing (sorry I suck at metric.)
It's only $20 but I was ticked off 'cause I don't park in front of fire hydrants and don't…
Looking for some guidance here. This was the first time I have been stopped by the police and ticketed etc. so not too familiar with the process.
I was exiting a parking lot in the east end at Jackman Avenue and Hurndale just north of the Danforth near Chester subway station. It is a weird intersection where Jackman is a 2 way street from Danforth to Hurndale and then becomes one way southbound…
I got a speeding ticket today while I was at a stand still.
I had to stop as there was an elderly gentleman walking accross the left lane I was in. I could clearly see the speed trap up the hill as well as the en-mass brake lights from the vehicles ahead. I then accelerated up the hill and watched the speedometer. I never went above 60KM/H, speed limit is 50 I know but I'm trying to be honest.…
Hey everybody this is my first post so please don't be to harsh in responses :p.
So today on my way to work I was headed down a road called "airport road" located in Hamilton /mount hope.
The part of the road I was on was a good 5-6km of flat very very minor changes in elevation in the road and had a single solid yellow going all the way down it . even though you can see more than 2km ahead of…
Crested a hill, officer coming at me, pulled a u turn and pulled me over.
I will go back and look again but I thought I was in an 80 not a 70 and I am positive I wasn't doing more than 120. My speedo read 110-115. I have aftermarket tires and rims so I assume this would be the difference.
It was around 7pm, already dark, nobody on the road but myself,…
Ok so my brother in law was caught the other day after he drove into a ditch for driving while having a suspended license. His license was suspended due to a seizure he suffered months ago. So not only was his license suspended but he was found to have a BAC of 3x the legal limit. He is scheduled to appear in court on January 17 2017. I have done research and I can find info about driving…
So I was driving a friend on crutches to Buxton, ON this past Thursday from Brampton. We we're cruising while catching up. So about 10 km before our exit an OPP and unmarked car come tearing down the off ramp. I glance down on the speedometer although I know I wasn't speeding so we continued chatting. There was a pick up truck behind me and a transport truck in the right lane. So my friend…
On Friday I was received a ticket for jaywalking. I was downtown (Toronto) at King and Yonge and started walking as my light turned green, but didn't notice that it was an advance green and I didn't have a walk signal until I was halfway through the intersection (pretty sure the advance had been added recently due to the king street congestion pilot). Unluckily for me there was a police…
Reference is made in the HTA to Stop Signs at Railway Crossings (passive crossings):
HTA, 163 (2)
O Reg 615 (7)
However I cannot find specific regulation detailing how a railway crossing controlled by a stop sign must be configured.
The Ontario Traffic Manual, Book 11 - Markings and Delineation under section "3.9 Reserved Facility Markings - Railways" (p99) speaks to the needs for marking, but is…
I got the disclosure from the prosecutor office 1 page from the officer, 2 pages from the Genesis 2 manual showing the 8.1 test and 8.2 road test. I was travel north west on 4 lanes highway speed limit 80km. There was another car side by side with me . The officer was south east bound. It was 6:35 AM (complete dark). Highway has no street light and sunrise was not until 7:36 (weather web site).…
OK so a friend and I were driving in Brampton and I wanted to turn left. I entered the middle of the intersection and waited until I had a chance, I had to wait until the light was red. Around 5 seconds of me in the intersection, the oncoming car does not slow down and weaves around another car that was stopped on the red and hits my car.
I was deemed at fault by the police and received the ticket…
Well first of all ... glad to have found the forum - hoping to find answers to 'alot' of questions
I was unfortunate in July 2010 in that I ended up rolling my 2009 Ranger three times, through a fence and landing on the roof on a rained-out road that was/is in need of proper repair in Eastern Ontario.
I was assisted out of the vehicle by the driver who was behind me.
Just wondering how the prosection goes about proving who was the driver at trial. If I tell the officer I was driving the black car is that sufficient proof or is that hearsay or does it have to be discussed in court. Just curious.
I commited the offence of Disobeying to stop on a stop sign this morning. The officer says I slowed down but did not completely stop at the sign. This was at a 3-way stop in a school zone.
The weather is bad and there was freezing rain warning in the morning. The roads were not entirely slippery, but I was wondering if I can have a case here.
I know it was stupid of me, I've just been very stressed recently with my wife going through Post Partum and being off the deep end. She's refused help for months, and now that she finally talked to a doctor about it, shes at risk and I really am going nuts over it. Anyways I called her to check up on her, I know I shouldn't but the thought of her not being on the other end scares the *EDIT* out…
My court date is nearing at old city hall at appeals court.
iwhats going to happen and what do i do?
do I present my certificate of offence and point out to the judge the fine was incorrect, I did not appear and am now appealing on the grounds the Justice of the peace erred and failed to quash the ticket on the basis of the certificate not being properly examined and is not complete and regular on…
I recently made the worst mistake of my life, currently 22 was driving home from downtown toronto when Igot pulled over by a police car, I had a few drinks officer knew i was under the influence arrested me and took me into the police station to do a breathalyzer, I refused to do it and was released 3 hours later. Car is now impounded for 7 days...what are the most likely consequences for my…
I am hoping to get advice on how to proceed with my defence regarding a ticket I received for improper use of a high occupancy vehicle lane on an interprovincial bridge between Hull, QC and Ottawa, ON. The ticket was given in Ottawa by the Ottawa Police.
What happened:
I was staying at my girlfriend's in Hull, QC because it was close to my new job in Ottawa. This area was brand new to me.
As a result of a recent ticket I got over the weekend, I've been reading up on Vascar / Aerial Surveillance and have been quite surprised as to the accuracy at the results by this measurement method. There seems to be a lot of room for error seeing as how the start / stop is human triggered .
From what I've heard, the OPP evaluates the time to travel a 500 m distance, from which a…
I was in a unfamiliar area of Toronto and was not feeling very well and god knows how that happened but I hit a car in near the driver's side front and my right side front. Air bag burst in my car. That driver hit the other car in the lane because of the impact. My 2008 Honda Civic and their 2002 Cavalier and 2002 Sienna were written off for insurance.
