Information regarding collisions.
When a vehicle is in yaw it is rotating around a vertical axis through it's centre of mass. The long, curved yaw marks left by the tires on the pavement were characteristic of this motion. If they were striated and of constantly diminishing radius they were of great interest for collision reconstruction because the vehicle's speed could be determined from them.
I was issued a ticket two weeks after my accident for "failure to keep right." It was delivered to my home by two officers from the detachment in the city I live in. The officer that attended the accident scene was from a detachment equal distance away from the accident.
The initial supreme court decision on the case of R v Hecimovic made me scratch my head. Ms. Hecimovic was charged and acquitted of dangerous driving after causing a collision in a Pitt Meadows. The behaviour was clearly dangerous to me, but the court didn't look at it that way.
Perhaps the most common collision type in British Columbia is the rear end crash. ICBC reports between 22,000 and 25,000 of them each year. How do you protect yourself from being involved in a rear end collision? Here are 10 suggestions for steps that you can take to keep yourself safe.
Question: I need some advice on a ticket for falling asleep at the wheel. I dozed off while driving home from work at 1:00 in the afternoon after doing a few late night / early morning shifts. I drove off the road and struck a guardrail doing damage to the truck. RCMP attended and wrote me up for "driving without consideration." I was told it would be $196 fine.
This incident took place at the intersection of Canada Way and Rosewood Street in Burnaby. It involved three vehicles, two of which changed lanes as their drivers did not want to wait for left turning traffic ahead of them. Those lane changes resulted in a crash involving the third vehicle traveling straight through using the right lane.
This case arises from a car vs bicycle collision on 116 Street in North Delta at the onset of night. Manjit Dhaliwal and a friend were cycling northbound on 116 Street between 94 and 96 Avenues. Neither bicycle was equipped with a light. Sonia Kakkar was backing out of her driveway, did not see the cyclists and collided with Ms. Dhaliwal.
Imagine the surprise of the motorist at a collision I once investigated. He parked at the side of the road, opened his door, and a passing car tried to tear it off! It's a good thing he didn't step out while he opened the door.
It is fortunate that this type of collision is relatively rare because the consequences are severe. I am speaking of driving the wrong way on a divided highway or freeway.
Joseph Munden and Ephrahim Barnett used to be neighbours, did not care for each other and were not on good terms. This case results from Mr. Munden using his vehicle as a weapon and intentionally colliding with Mr. Barnett who was riding his bicycle.
