Fail To Report Sec 199(1)

 Section 199(1) of the Ontario Highway Traffic Act creates a Fail to Report ticket, and the act stipulates the duty of any driver involved in an accident directly or indirectly has a duty to report the particulars of the accident to a peace officer forthwith.

With the above said, it is important to understand you have a duty to report an accident is triggered as the act and regulation also stipulates that the apparent property damage sustained must exceed $2,000. If the property damage is minor and under the $2,000 threshold, you have 24 hours to report the collision to a collision center.
