What is the name of your state? Oakville, Ontario (Canada)
Traffic violation
----- FAILURE TO DRIVE WITHING A MARKED LANE -----
I just wanted to start off by thanking anyone willing to read my post and aid me with my issue.
This is the scenario, on September 6th (The end of the last long weekend) I was coming back south from my nice holiday weekend before a new semester of school, the roads were very congested, my front tire blew and I was having trouble maintain the car, I was in the fast lane (left lane) and as carefully as I could moved over I went off to the shoulder, I was unable to control the car properly and stay on the right shoulder and went off the road and hit a tree. About 10 minutes later a cop shows up, takes my statement and gives me a ticket for “Failure to drive within a marked lane”
I was commended for my driving skills managing to not hit anyone on the highway.
This is my case
1) A ticket is punishment for doing something wrong, what did I do wrong, next time should I stop in the middle of the road? Put on my flashers?
2) Even if I did do something wrong, the cop only showed up 10 minutes after I went off the road.
I am going tomorrow to Barrie to fight this. Do I have a case?
Thanks,
Robert Chiussi
p.s. Just who is interested, I was driving a Grand Prix GT 2002, damage was $14,200
