Hey,
So the past 2 weeks hae been crappy. My father was in a serious accident on Feb, 12. We were cutting down a 60 foot tree and it fell on him. He did survive (although the ambulance and doctors at cobourg did not think he would), he underwent brain surgery and has a couple fractures in his skull along with his face and pelvis. most ribs are broken and so is his shoulder. And so on. Good news is he will be fine, bad news is a week after me and my boyfriend were driving to sunnybrook to see him on a 50km road. It also says fines increased and radar on the sign. So the officer stops us and tells him he was going 74 in a 50. He asks for the licence and stuuf than says hold on and brings back a ticket and says bye. We tryed asking him about it, since it was our first time being stopped, but he just said to read it. So we found out later it was 3 demerit points, and have to go to court cause he doesnt want the points cause insurance and what not. Does anyone have past experience or advice as to what to expect or if they think he will get the points removed? Also today he got a letter saying there was an overdue parking ticket from lawarence avenue in toronto in Jan. But i know 100% it wasnt us. We ive in Colborne and other than the hospital have not been near toronto in a long time. The only think they sent was the letter and the plate number, but it wasnt us there, what should we do? before any of this we both have never been even stopped by the police or had any tickets. Any advice would be greatly appeciated. Thanks.
