Re: random nightmare

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 ...

random nightmare

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 ...

Re: stop sign bylaws

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been to traffic court before but assume that nothing is more aggravating to the court than to have a defendant cite outdated information so wanted ...

stop sign bylaws

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 ...

Re: little in the way of disclosure

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 ...

little in the way of disclosure

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 ...

Re: disobey stop sign, fail to stop trap

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 ...

disobey stop sign, fail to stop trap

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 ...
