The defendant was charged with failing to stop at a red traffic light contrary to section 144(18) of the Highway Traffic Act.
The collision occurred at the intersection of Taunton Road and Garrard Road in Whitby on March 2, 2016.
The prosecution presented evidence from the other driver and a police officer, while the defendant testified that her traffic light was green.
The court applied the presumption of regularity to find that both directional traffic lights could not have been green simultaneously.
After assessing credibility using the Faryna v. Chorney test and R. v. W.D. principles, the court found the defendant's evidence unreliable and accepted the prosecution's evidence.
The defendant was convicted.
