Canadian Boating Practice Exam

What could be the consequence of failing to stop at the scene of a collision where someone is injured?

1. A fine of up to $1,000

2. Imprisonment for up to five years

3. Mandatory community service

4. No consequence

The correct answer is: Imprisonment for up to five years

Failing to stop at the scene of a collision where someone is injured could lead to imprisonment for up to five years. This is because leaving the scene of an accident without rendering aid or exchanging information is considered a serious offense and can result in criminal charges. The other options are incorrect because failing to stop at the scene of a collision is not a minor infraction and can have serious legal consequences. A fine of up to $1,000 or mandatory community service may be given as additional penalties, but the main consequence is imprisonment. Option D, stating that there is no consequence, is also incorrect as it goes against the law and societal expectations to not stop and assist in such a situation. It is important to always stop at the scene of a collision and take the necessary actions to help those who may be injured.
