It is based around the fact that you can assume the other people around you are following the law and can be predictable while you are making your decisions.
if the other party can be proven to have been not driving with accordance to the laws, the whole "fault" system no longer applies.
for reference, check out:
Regulation 668 under the Insurance Act
(R.R.O. 1990, Reg. 668)

this is a stupid thread now.... they are both at fault and we'll never know the end because 2 people are dead and have no say, and you cant trust witnesses how fast the cars were going. They were obviously both somewhat at fault and the might say they should get anything but if they werent out that late driving unsafe then they never would have been in this situation and same with the dead couple. They paid already and the kids will pay in some way or another on top of knowing that they had a part in making a child parentless.

yea but he was breaking the law too, so you can't use that rule, just against the 2 guys going 20 over,
I agree this thread has gone stupid, you can't prove either way without more evidence from the actual accident

Listen, Ive been into an accident on younge st where a car pulled out two lanes and we werent even at the speed limit yet but we still hit the car infront of us. (i wasnt driving)
If he ran over my kid brother, my brother shouldnt have been running around drunk on younge street infront of cars.
now its so funny how everyone keeps on using "racing" all the time, if i go 1 over the speed limit to pass someone,, is that RACING? If i go from a 60 zone to a 50 zone while im going 70 (which people do alot if they dont notice the sign) am i a street racer? Automatically if youre going fast and ur 20 i guess everyone assumes you're racing. but if it was some 60 year old dude, hes just a ***** driving over the speed limit, isnt it funny how 30 year olds plus are never caught "street racing".
Drinking and driving is probably something that this guy has done before and It was just a matter of time before it caught up with him. Thank god it wasnt him running over your kid brother. He took his wife with him.(BUT SHE SHOULDNT HAVE LET HIM DRIVE HER HOME IN THAT CONDITION ANYWAYS)
Its funny how everyone labels ppl street racers and how the bad street racer does this and that, BUT DRUNK DRIVING ACCIDENTS HAPPEN ALMOST DAILY. And no one gives a ****..
My aunt got run over by a drunk driver, and my parents van got destroyed by a drunk driver (while they were in it), SO STOP DEFENDING THAT ****ING ***** who plays with peoples lives drinking and driving and lost his own.
