Question: In British Columbia, after a minor collision with no injuries you should:

Answer options:

• Leave immediately ✅ Exchange information and document the scene
• Hide damage
• Call only your insurer

Correct answer: Exchange information and document the scene

Explanation: Following a minor collision in British Columbia, the Motor Vehicle Act requires drivers to remain at the scene and exchange contact, driver’s license, and insurance information with the other party, as well as document the scene. Leaving immediately is a serious offence known as a hit-and-run, while hiding damage is fraudulent. Additionally, calling only your insurer bypasses the legal obligation to share details with the other driver first. This concept is highly relevant for the ICBC knowledge test, which frequently assesses your understanding of legal responsibilities and driver duties immediately following an accident.
