What the charge means
Section 200 of the HTA requires drivers involved in an accident to stop, render assistance, and provide their name, address, and licence information.
Highway Traffic Act s.200
Fail to Remain charges in Brampton, Ontario.
Quick Answer — Brampton
Failing to remain at the scene of an accident in Ontario is a serious HTA offence carrying 6 demerit points, fines, and potential licence suspension — and if injury or death is involved, it can escalate to a Criminal Code charge. Whether a duty to remain was triggered, and whether you had knowledge of the accident, are the key issues on these files.
A Brampton collision where someone drove off can go one of two ways, and an officer at the roadside usually decides which: a Highway Traffic Act fail to remain heard at 5 Ray Lawson Boulevard, or a criminal fail to stop heard at the Davis courthouse on Hurontario Street. The conduct can look identical; the consequences do not. Point Duty Traffic Court Defence acts on both, and on a Brampton fail to remain the first thing worth knowing is which of the two you are actually facing.
Leaving the scene of a collision without stopping or providing required information. Carries severe demerit and insurance consequences, plus possible imprisonment.

How does the prosecutor handle fail to remain in Brampton?
- Peel prosecutors will resolve a matter either way. You can ask for an early resolution meeting, and the trial date is still a live opportunity to deal — a real difference from Toronto, where the prosecutors have been saying resolutions are not available on the date of trial. On a first offence the usual landing spot in Peel is a reduction to a lesser offence. Point Duty Traffic Court Defence works both openings at the Mississauga, Brampton and Caledon courts.
