I belong to another forum that specializes in questions about the Ontario Highway Traffic Act, and last night some
total pr!ck posted the most outrageous story I've ever seen on a thread entitled "Lied to police and insurance concerning accident?"
I've copy-pasted his entire statements below, in case at some point he decides to delete his original thread on the other forum (found here:
http://www.ontariohighwaytrafficact.com/topic5664.html).
If by some wild stroke of luck any of you happen to know the poor woman who was unjustly accused, please tell her about this thread. If you happen to know where this incident took place, please notify the local police.
This story has got my blood boiling this morning.

Ok so I was driving hope at night and this young girl parked her tinfoil car at the side of the road somewhere near a club.
I didn't see it and the street lamp was busted and hit its side. The wheel was turned luckily. The chick comes near the car after a while and she's totally drunk.
When the cops come I say she was pulling out and I hit her. She disagreed and said her sister was coming to drive her then started talking nonsense, and when the cops explained she hit me she accepted and was like OMG really and eventually agreed. She got arrested and taken away. Her sister then arrives and says she was supposed to drive. Cops tell her that the her sister had driven and crashed and hence got arrested. Sister starts being emotional and starts crying and says she doesn't believe and cops had to calm her down.
What happens if they know I'm lying, I don't think there are cameras. Would she get a criminal record for just pulling out of parking drunk or just a fine? It was a small accident. Cops said her car engine was warm so my story must have been correct.
I know this sounds a bit bad of me but the fact that she came to the car means she would have driven drunk anyway and I just took the opportunity so that my insurance doesn't go up.
I don't think I did the right thing now but its too late to change my statement now.
She supposedly had no previous record according to her sister. Apart from license suspension can this affect her life? Can they prosecute this or will her charges eventually get dropped?
I think she has to pay me now as insurance does not cover drunk drivers. But I'll not take her money as I can fix it myself and damage isn't much.
Yes, for how long? Is there any way I could get her out of trouble and not get into trouble myself for doing so?
