The video clearly shows the light turning amber way before you even hit the Esso station entrance. As I see it, the video definitely shows you running a red light. And I'd say you had plenty of time to stop for the amber. Sorry. That said, I don't know whether this will trigger a red light camera ti...

Narrower tires cut through snow better, but it's the overall diameter that you don't want to change to avoid affecting the speedometer.

As I understand it, a "hit and run" claim will be counted as an "at fault" collision by your insurance company. At least that's how it is with my insurance company. Consider that if you plan to file a claim to have it repaired. I'm not sure whether the police will automatically n...

Here something to think about. If the Ontario and the Queen's crown on your plate are still their original blue colour than likely you will lose in a court of law. I have seen all around the city people driving with tampered license plates. How do I know they are tampered? Well looking closely at t...

I'm pretty sure that is perfectly legal. I own a Miata 2-seater which is equipped with a switch to disable the passenger airbag. My kids are older now, but when they needed to use a baby/booster seat, I would install it and switch off the airbag. Never had a problem. What other choice do you have, a...

Hello. I agree carless would be harsh; not that it matters though as people are charged with it all the time for small transgressions such as this. If the other driver is accepting responsibility, and perhaps offering to fix the damage, is a charge even necessary? I don't think every collision shou...

The other day my car was (lawfully) parallel parked on the street near my office. It was the last in a long line of parked cars, and there was a good 3 feet or so between it and the car in front. The person parked directly ahead of my car went to exit her parking spot. As she backed up, she crashed ...

Intuitively I would tend to agree with you that the person overtaking should be completely at fault, as the maneuver obviously could not be done in safety; however, the fault determination rules don't agree. The situation you describe seems to perfectly match what's outlined in Section 10 (6) Rules ...

Ended up going viral on facebook. Here is the crash http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_QLaHhpPk48osCbdZv-OxEmGoEmFHI7Q I was not purposely following the driver... Was going to work Thanks Hard to tell exactly given the fisheye lens, but you looked to be driving much faster than the 40 km/h pos...

See...? I told ya so... I have read your posts and from my count this is the SEVENTH vehicle you have damaged in almost 6 months. Each time you still maintain that youre a good driver and were "distracted" by one thing to another. I dont think people on this site want to give you advice an...

...Also, you never mentioned what the charge was. Seeing how you already have 3 careless driving charges in a couple months as a G2 driver (novice sanctions), you aren't going to have a license for much longer anyways. You are going to have a hard time getting insurance also. Seems like you haven't...

WOW!! What a story! Let me see if I've got this straight... You are an inexperienced driver (G2 license) who has been involved in three collisions and been charged three times with Careless Driving in just 3½ months. Your first accident occurred on or about Nov 6, 2013. You lost control of your own ...

This subject has been discussed here upteen times before. Suggest you read through some of the other posts as background. I'd also suggest you read this article which gives a good overview of the whole subject of collisions and careless driving charges: http://www.guelphmercury.com/news-story/269310...

My understanding is that shopping mall parking lots are private property and, therefore, are not subject to the Highway Traffic Act. I suspect you saw a security guard, but exactly what she was doing noting license plate numbers is a mystery to me.

So from what I've been reading here it seems that the "Careless" Charge is being tossed around like confetti at a party tying up the court systems for what to try to get higher convictions for lesser charges? FYI, the following article covers the topic of the careless driving charge being...
