Re: Collision with tree gets a careless driving charge
What about the street being recorded incorrectly? Is that a fatal error? The streets are in the same area, but they are different streets. I couldn't have been in 2 places at the same time. I suspect the evidence (whatever that is) will be for the correct street, where the accident took place, while...

Re: Collision with tree gets a careless driving charge
Yes I posted this before but at that time nobody offered advice so I decided to re-post. I don't have access to the vehicle to take it for inspection and I don't have the authority to take it from my employer. I don't even have any idea if that vehicle is still around or has been scrapped. The accid...

Collision with tree gets a careless driving charge
I was driving the company's delivery vehicle (the boxy large vans many use. UPS has them painted brown , Canada Post has them painted red , but they are the same vehicle - in this case a 2004 Ford CSC) when in a turn I made a routine brake application. At this moment the rubber cover on the brake pe...

Re: Disobey Sign 182(2) at St. Paul's Square, Toronto
By all means, request disclosure and see if you can get the charge dismissed in court due to a technicality. If that's not possible, see if the prosecutor is willing to let you plea guilty to the charge of "Disobey lane light 144 (10)" which carries no demerit points. At least that's what ...

Re: Careless Driving After Collision
The exact thing happened to me 4 years ago. I took it to court. Obviously they tried to make me accept pleading guilty to "Incorrect left turn" or something like that, which I refused. I thought this was going to get ugly, but when we got in front of the judge, the prosecutor said she does...

Re: Following too closely - need to file motion to dismiss
The collision could not be proven. All they have is the statement of the other driver. Combined with a completely different plate for his vehicle. In other words, the charge of following too closely is based on a collision that cannot be proven, with a vehicle that was never there. I believe this ma...

Following too closely - need to file motion to dismiss
I was charged with Following too closely, two weeks after an alleged collision. The police was called at the scene, asked us if we exchanged information and then told us we were free to go. Two weeks later a summons was issued to me for following to closely. Apparently the police took statements fro...
