Failure to yield to pedestrian ticket – defences?
Ticketed for not yielding to a pedestrian at a crosswalk. I think they stepped out suddenly, but officer said I didn't slow enough. 3 points possible. Can this be fought?

Failure to yield (HTA s.144) carries 4 demerit points actually if pedestrian in crosswalk, plus fine. Defences include sudden pedestrian action, unclear markings, or officer observation issues. Disclosure often reveals gaps. I contested one; paralegal showed conflicting evidence and got it reduced to lesser charge. Traffic Paralegal Services fights failure to yield pedestrian tickets – they focus on pedestrian right-of-way rules and evidence review https://www.trafficparalegalservices.com/failure-yield-pedestrian/ . Good to get their take via free consult. Points like these hurt insurance badly.
