Caledon to be part of an Anti-Chasing project starting in the coming months:

Caledon OPP are one of 3 areas across Ontario that will be part of a phase 2 project implementing a rotation system to stop chasing in Ontario Provincial Police patrolled roadways. This phase 2 program is planned to start sometime in the coming months.

Ontario Provincial Police has been working on these programs for about a year in 3 areas that started earlier this year and are about to enter phase 2 in 3 new areas.

In Ontario they set a 200-metre tow truck rule which makes it illegal for unsummoned tow truck drivers to stop, park, or solicit towing services within 200 metres of a collision scene.

• The Buffer Zone: Tow trucks cannot park, stop, or offer services within 200 metres of a motor vehicle collision or apparent collision.

• The Exception: A tow truck is only allowed within the 200-metre zone if they were explicitly called or requested by:
• A police officer, inspector, or firefighter present at the scene.
• A person/driver directly involved in the collision.

• Anti-Chasing Intent: The law is designed to stop "accident chasing," predatory towing, aggressive solicitation, inflated billing, and interference with emergency responders.

• Compliance: Tow truck drivers must also obey any direct order from police or emergency personnel to leave the scene or stay back by at least 200 metres.

Ontario (Provincial / General Set Fines): Fines for prohibited practices, collision proximity, and unconsented services range from $300 to $500 under Schedule 84 - Ontario Court of Justice. Fines under older Highway Traffic Act rules start at $200.00 in the province of Ontario.

If you have a preferred tow truck company, be sure to store their number and other information in your cellular phone.
