多伦多华裔警官杨乾良告诉你如何正确应对交通事故
首先要停下你的车，永远不要逃逸现场。否则，按照安省的公路交通法， 你可能会被控没有呆在事故现场，没有报告交通事故和其他相关的罪行。此外，你也有可能面对加拿大刑法的指控。所以，一场小小的交通事故，如果没有处理好的话会有更加严重的后果。请参考安省交通法的规定：
Duty of person in charge of vehicle in case of accident
200. (1) Where an accident occurs on a highway, every person in charge of a vehicle or street car that is directly or indirectly involved in the accident shall,
(a) remain at or immediately return to the scene of the accident;
(b) render all possible assistance; and
(c) upon request, give in writing to anyone sustaining loss or injury or to any police officer or to any witness his or her name, address, driver’s licence number and jurisdiction of issuance, motor vehicle liability insurance policy insurer and policy number, name and address of the registered owner of the vehicle and the vehicle permit number.
检查受伤情况。车停好后，把紧急灯打开。首先检查自己，看看有没有受伤。然后检查车辆里的其他乘客看看他们有没有受伤，如果有人受伤，那就要打911报警。
如果你和你的乘客都没有受伤，在安全的情况下，去检查一下其他车辆里的乘客或是行人以确保没有人受伤。如果有人受伤，请拨打911。救护车、火警和警察会相继来到现场处理这宗交通事故。
如果仅仅是涉及到车辆及其他财物受到损害，请参考以下：
1）如果两个车辆损伤的金额加起来低于1000元，建议你们把车子开到一个更安全的位置，比如说，停车场等。然后，司机双方交换对方的信息（驾照、车主证和保险单、电话号码、目击证人等详细资料），双方交换信息之后可以在24小时内去事故报告中心。这种情况下，不需要报警， 因为在事故报告中心（CRC），有警察会给你出事故报告。
2）两个车辆损伤金额加起来不到1000元，但是你怀疑对方司机醉驾，这时候你要拨打911。一般来说，警察和火警会很快来到现场。
3）如果交通事故涉及的是一部汽车，比如，汽车撞坏了一颗树、电线杆、公路旁的路标，或者是草坪等等，也就是说，财物损失涉及的是任何私人的或是公路财产，你必须留在事故现场并需要打电话报警。(如有人员受伤，打911，否则，请拨打非紧急电话号码。) 请参考安省交通法的规定：
Notification of damage to trees, fences, etc.
201. Every person who, as a result of an accident or otherwise, operates or drives a vehicle or leads, rides or drives an animal upon a highway and thereby damages any shrub, tree, pole, light, sign, sod or other property on the highway or a fence bordering the highway shall forthwith report the damage to a police officer.
4）如果两个车辆损伤的金额加起来高于1000元， 这时候你可以打电话报警。 警察到达现场后，很有可能要求事故双方交换信息后去事故报告中心（CRC）。请参考安省交通法的规定：
Duty to report accident
199. (1) Every person in charge of a motor vehicle or street car who is directly or indirectly involved in an accident shall, if the accident results in personal injuries or in damage to property apparently exceeding an amount prescribed by regulation, report the accident forthwith to the nearest police officer and furnish him or her with the information concerning the accident。
Officer may direct person to report accident at another location
(1.1) If, on reporting the accident to the nearest police officer under subsection (1), the person is directed by the officer to report the accident at a specified location, the person shall not furnish the officer described in subsection (1) with the information concerning the accident but shall forthwith attend at the specified location and report the accident there to a police officer and furnish him or her with the information concerning the accident。
在此我想提醒大家的是，发生事故之后，一定要注意个人的人身安全，比如，不要站在大路的中间打电话等。要切记安全第一。
