Careless Driving~pedestrain Hit, No Injuries,no Damage
I was driving on a bright sunny day at around 3pm in the afternoon travelling North on Brock Road in Pickering, On. I was in the turning lane waiting to go West onto Kingston Road. I was the first vehicle in line and the green arrow showed so I proceeded to turn left. As I was turning I was blinded by the sunlight and seen a shadow in my vision. As soon as I seen the pedestrian(that seemed to come out of nowhere)I applied my brakes. Unfortunately I was too late and I hit her with the front driverside corner. There was no damage to my vehiclealso.
I immediately got out of my vehicle to make sure she was okay and another driver called 911. The emergency crews showed up and she was taken to hospital for procautions as she appeared to be alert and talking.
I received a $325 Careless driving. If I choose Option #3 on my ticket, what are the chances of the Crown reducing my fine and/or points? And what happens once I choose option #3? Do I need to get a lawyer?
I am a 31 year old female and have only ever had a speeding ticket. Please help!!
