Hi, I'm curious what the courts detemermine "return immediatley" to the scene of an accident is? Is it 5 minutes, an hour, 2 days? Surely this will depend on the JP but I'm wondering if there is any case law/personal experience regarding the subject. Thanks! Cruz.

The only case I could find that was related was R. v Robson, but it doesn't really answer your question. Basically the guy intentionally hit a cyclist and drove off, returning 45 minutes later from a doctor's appointment. http://www.canlii.org/en/on/onsc/doc/20 ... 18728.html Leaving the scene to seek help and return immediately (as SOON as the call is placed or help is found, then no delay in returning) is permissible according to a former police officer. Beyond that...

I would agreewith "RI". If one does not have a cellphone, one would be given opportunity to go to the nearest payphone, call for help and return OR advise the services responding where the hell you are!

this is ALL I got in terms of notes. No record of calibration before or after.
my question is, should I send a second request for the officer's notes from the day? or can I run with this and press the point that he didn't test the unit before or after?
