Driving without due care and attention
Apr 16, 2010
I wasn't driving without due care - now Im at risk of a ban...
I was in a car accident on the highway where I was found 100% at fault. the only reason is because I couldn't afford a lawyer to fight icbc for me. I had someone hit me from behind on the highway and i hit the gas from reaction then immediately hit the brakes causing skid marks i went and hit another car in front me. the cop at the scene gave me a ticket for driving without due care. I disputed my ticket last year and now finally have a court date. If the courts find me guilty i will lose my license for 1 year.I cannot lose it. is there any way i can fight this and win?

Why are you going to lose your licence for a year> Have you had a totting up ban before and you have now accumulated 12 points again? Tell me more about that.
If the accident was caused by the car behind you then you have a defence. The prosecution have to prove that it was your fault beyond reasonable doubt. You only have to create a reasonable doubt to win. From what you have said we maybe able to get this matter withdrawn without the need for a trial.
