Re: FTC ticket: rear-ended the lady but no damage

There is no independent witness.

I'm hoping with the month notice the other driver won't show up at all. Once I get disclosure I can know more about what the prosecution will try to prove right?

Re: FTC ticket: rear-ended the lady but no damage

I remember reading something like rear end collision is not prima facie evidence of follow too closely. I will definitely ask for an adjournment if they change the charge on me. I am hoping I can get disclosure in a month. If I get it the day off I don't feel like I will be prepared and will likely ...

Re: FTC ticket: rear-ended the lady but no damage

Update from today:

The prosecutor said "you don't want to plead guilty to this. You should've gotten a careless charge. You should take this to trial. Make sure you ask for disclosure."

Re: FTC ticket: rear-ended the lady but no damage

Thanks for the reply! I didn't ask for disclosure and when I checked the form it said I need to allow 6-8 weeks for processing :(

Re: FTC ticket: rear-ended the lady but no damage

Yes I did select option 2 much earlier and when I was much less informed I'm afraid. For my municipality it is early resolution meeting with a prosecutor.

FTC ticket: rear-ended the lady but no damage

Hi, I'd like to start this off by saying for the last two weeks I have been browsing the forums. I'm trying to prepare myself for an early resolution meeting with a prosecutor (in Brampton, if that matters). I have a clean record and as a teacher, I always do my best to follow rules (trying to pract...
