In Ontario, careless driving laws involve strict and serious enforcement. Although a common offence, careless driving infractions can have serious consequences if a driver is convicted of a particular offence. It is important to be aware of the ramifications if you are convicted of a careless driving violation.

Careless Driving as outlined in the Highway Traffic Act (HTA) states:

We can better understand what happens when a recovery must be made of a car that has been in an accident. Most individuals have a misconception of what a car recovery service does in the event of an actual accident. It isn’t only towing of the vehicles, it is much more. Sometimes extensive recovery may apply and be quite difficult.

Recovering vehicles that have been involved in an accident calls for usually no immediate contact between the individuals that have come out to retrieve the cars and the people that have been in the accident, especially if they have sustained injuries or if worse there has been fatalities.
