The mandatory reporting rules went from a thousand dollars to ten thousand for a minor car accident in response to a UBCM 2017 resolution and the provincial budget in BC.

To lessen delays and waiting.

The provincial government has amended its rules around mandatory police reporting of minor collisions. This move responds to a resolution (B83) endorsed by the UBCM membership at the 2017 convention. The updated Motor Vehicle Act Regulations increase the mandatory reporting threshold for property-damage-only (PDO) collisions from $1,000 to $10,000. 


Any one hurt requiring medical attention is not a minor accident.

Editors note: To use insurance you need to report to your agent and you may not have the advantage of a police report for fault. Be careful failing to remain at and accident ( more then 10,000 dollars) or injuries is a serious criminal code offence. On advice leaving your name and phone number may be prudent in any case.

Accident

Car accident at the lights Nicola and Voght one vehicle pointed the wrong way no visible, damage, another with a bender on the drivers side. What could have happened was a person got on the wrong side of the meridian and tried to continue to the intersection causing the second vehicle to strike a pole getting out of the way. I didn’t see the accident only the results. A person that could have been the driver of the wrong way car was showing extreme mental anguish of proportion to the accident . What is true is that 2 police cars responded to aid a very minor accident that could have been reported at the cop shop with in twenty-four hours 3 photographers responded ,perhaps a celebrity driver . Then a calm  seemingly uninvolved person came and took the wrong way car and drove away. Must be more to it . Will follow.
