I have a mail box and paper drop at the entrance to my property. A car parked in front of the mail box today blocked my exit as I was backing out I scraped it. Do I have any recourse here based on parking violations?

This Supreme Court case from 2003 is useful to illustrate two topics: lane splitting by motorcyclists is illegal in BC and traffic court justices may prohibit drivers based on a bad driving record and have the prohibition upheld by the higher courts.
I recently received ticket for disobeying a traffic control device. No accident resulted and this is my first ticket. On the face of the ticket the officer stated Sec. 161 of the MVA, but did not specify the subsection. Would this be grounds to have the ticket dismissed?
The following story arrived in the DriveSmartBC inbox requesting advice on a defensive driving technique that would avoid a crash when starting on a trip. Doing a circle check before getting into the vehicle is probably the best prevention tactic.
