no... the driver gave a statement. it was a rear end collision and the police attended. I'm assuming the police charged the driver with following too closely and would have the VIN on the ticket... Unless the driver failed to produce in which case he would be further charged with driving without proof of insurance at least... My guess is though that the charge is protected by privacy legislation so is unavailable. I don't think it is fraud at all... I think someone entered the wrong plate # and it spit out my car. Definately don't want to talk to my insurance company... they'll raise my rates ...

I received a letter the other day from a lawyer indicating that his client was making a claim for injuries as a result of a car accident and I should forward the letter to my insurance company so that the matter can be dealt with... I have no idea what he is talking about and so I contact him to find out. Seems my car was being driven by someone and was in an accident. I still have no idea what he is talking about so he emails the Accident Report. Sure enough, that's my car's plate number and that's my car... but insurance information was provided. which is odd because the registration and pin...

thank you jsherk. Yes, that was the information i was seeking. What Ticket Combat suggested was contrary to other information I had found elsewhere. I was trying to establish which was valid.

I've never been to traffic court before but assume that nothing is more aggravating to the court than to have a defendant cite outdated information so wanted to be certain before I proceeded down that path.

Thanks again everyone for the help

I am getting conflicting information. According to the Ticket Combat site, an urban stop sign requires a municipal bylaw; a copy of which is to be provided by the prosecutor. This is the cut and paste of the section: In other words, there must be a by-law creating the stop sign. Under Step 3, examples are given of signs that require by-laws. Under disclosure, you should receive a copy of the by-law. If you don't, you can argue improper disclosure and adjourn or stay your trial. Elsewhere i have been told that this is no longer required. Any idea which is correct? Thanks again in advance

The lack of notes is not really the issue for me. The problem I am having is that I want to know where the police officer was positioned in order to verify his point of view. The prosecutor simply told me that he gave me all he had in his file and that information would be provided at trial from the police officer's memory. Because it's too late to check the officer's point of view at that time, it's pretty much impossible to dispute. Is this correct procedure? I don't think it's an unreasonable request and it is really bugging me that the prosecutor and police officer circumvents the request ...

In my disclosure request I asked for a copy of the officer's notes (typed) as well as the location and position of the police officer in order to determine his point of view. When I received the package it included the officer's note (typed) and not much else. I use the singular because the officer's note was four words long and basically restated the charge. It is going to be difficult to defend myself without knowing where the officer was positioned so that I can determine his point of view. When I went to the prosecutor's office to request that information I was told that the disclosure inc...

Yeah, sorry about the rambling. The point i was trying to make was that the PC was there for the sole purpose of writing tickets and my question regarding the incident was whether the repetition of that process left her inured and seeing (or not seeing) what she wanted to see. I am not suggesting that the evidence has been made up, or that she is lying; rather that perhaps she was mistaken. That the officer's notes consisted of a single line "didn't come to a complete stop" suggests infallability on the part of the PC. The incident was also 7 months ago and unless she has an absolute...

Need some advice about this ticket. Last March I was pulled over and charged with failing to stop at a stop sign. It was the last Friday at the end of the month and apparently there was a "trap" set up at the intersection. I say it was a trap because it looked like two cruisers were working the corner because one was busy writing a ticket about half a block up the road. It was an "all ways" stop intersection. It was a 30kph speed limit and when I was pulled over I thought that was what i was getting stopped for (try driving at 30 some time... it's actually difficult). When ...
