Alfa, Lamborghini, Maserati, Ferrari. Yea not the easiest names to spell. :lol:

Alfas would be nice here though, apparently they're great to drive and I think they would do well here. But sadly that would never work, Ontario has some horrible road laws like you said.

There is way more to this than what you are telling all of us.
Those people were behind me, I accelerated after I passed by them driving slowly.

Well the road was completely empty at that part, not even parked cars. If there was wheelspin, which I doubt it would be because there was alot of heavy stuff in the back, and its a fwd vehicle. I just don't believe that there was wheelspin though, I've never experienced it with this car on asphalt. Anything less grippy though and it comes easily.

Again I can't thank you enough for your help. I'll mention these cases to my paralegal once I get one. :)

Well this officer only wrote down his first or las name, it could be either. Another thing I don't understand is the "witness" checkbox on the ticket. He checked no, even though there were 3 others in the car with me, and at least 20 others who saw what happened.

Well that's just stupid. One of the reasons I hate legal systems. Hopefully I can at least lower the offence or soemthing in court. Careless driving is pretty damn serious and I really don't want to go through all this right now.

But where does it say that? The ticket referenced section 130, and section 130 only mentions highways.

I accelerated too quickly and apparently got some wheelspin, then I did a rolling stop through a stop sign.

Ticket mistake?

I got a ticket for Careless Driving, section 130 of the OHTA. Thing is, I was driving down a residential road, not even a dividing lane in the centre. The definition only mentions highways, and also mentions other roadway users. The road was empty at the time. Not only that, but the officer didn't write down his full name and miswrote the year of my car.

And I just confused, or does that section not even apply to me?
