Heads Up, Alberta! A Small but Handy Change to Collision Reporting in 2024

Quick Update on Collision Reporting Rules

Hey there Alberta! We've got a quick update that's worth your attention. Starting January 1, 2024, there’s a change in the collision reporting rules in Alberta. It's not a major shake-up, but it’s something that might save you a bit of time and paperwork in the future.

What’s Changing?

Previous to this new change, if you were involved in a vehicle collision and the damage was estimated over $2,000, you needed to report it to the police. From 2024, this threshold is increasing to $5,000.

Why the Change?

This change is a response to rising vehicle repair costs. It's designed to reduce the need to report minor damages, simplifying things for you and the police.

What Doesn't Change

Important to note: the reporting requirements for collisions involving injuries or fatalities remain unchanged. Safety first, always!

How Does This Affect You?

In simple terms, for minor bumps and scrapes with damage under $5,000, you won't need to file a police report. It streamlines the process, freeing you from some red tape.
