🚗 Important Update for Ontario Drivers! 🚗

Starting January 1, 2025, the reportable collision threshold in Ontario is increasing from $2,000 to $5,000.

Here’s what this means:
🔹 If the total damage in a car accident is less than $5,000, you are no longer required to report the collision to the police.
🔹 You must still exchange information with the other driver(s), such as name, contact details, insurance info, and license plate number.
🔹 Always report accidents involving injuries, criminal activity, or damage to public property, regardless of the dollar amount.

Why the change?
This adjustment reflects rising repair costs and aims to ease the administrative burden on law enforcement for minor incidents.

What should you do?
1️⃣ Assess the damage.
2️⃣ Exchange information with involved parties.
3️⃣ If damage exceeds $5,000, or you’re unsure, contact your local collision reporting center.

Stay informed, drive safe, and make smart decisions on the road!

Just a quick reminder that Officers can demand a roadside breath sample and failure to comply can result in being charged with refusal.

The consequences in court for a refusal charge are the same as if you failed and were charged with driving while impaired.
