Minimum amount up for accident police reports
P.E.I. drivers will soon have a higher minimum amount for reporting minor accidents.
Right now any accident with damages $1,000 or more must be reported to police.
Transportation minister Ron MacKinley has tabled new legislation, which would increase that to a $2,000 minimum.
"Basically what that means is somebody has a fender bumper on the side of the road or somebody has one in the parking lot, the damage got to be worth $2,000 now instead of $1,000 reported to authorities and basically it gets rid of red tape, saves people time."
The amendment to the Highway Traffic Act was tabled Tuesday in the legislature.
