Alberta Class 7 Practice

Collisions If you are the first person at the scene of a collision, stop away from the collision in a safe location. Offer assistance if possible, and protect the scene with flashing hazard lights and reflective triangles so that other vehicles do not become involved. If it is necessary to notify the police or emergency medical services, be as accurate as you can, especially about the condition of any injured people and the location of the collision. If you are involved in a collision: • Give assistance where you can, protect the scene, and notify emergency assistance if needed. • Exchange names, contact information, and insurance details with the other driver(s) involved. • Record the names and contact information of all witnesses. • Do not discuss who was at fault. • Record the time, location, weather, and any other details that may be important. • Notify your insurance company as soon as possible. You are required to report all collisions to the police or local law enforcement if: • anyone has been injured • anyone has been killed • overall damage exceeds $5000 (see alberta.ca/automobile-collisions-insurance to confirm the current property damage collision (PDC) threshold) • any damage has been done to any traffic control device, parking meter, or public property. If police are called to the scene, all drivers must remain.
