We wish to remind all drivers that the following rules apply to reporting collisions:
- All collisions involving; 1 or more out of Province vehicles, vehicles which are not drivable or instances where criminal charges (i.e. impaired driving) may be laid are required to report the collision immediately to the nearest police agency.
- All collisions not involving the above, where both driver’s exchange names and information, may be reported direct to SGI.
- All collisions involving another vehicle where the driver is not present (i.e. parked vehicles) are to be reported to the other vehicle owner as soon as possible. This almost always involves leaving a note with the time, date, driver name and plate number on the vehicle.

Also on June 8, the Weyburn PS received a report about an on-line scam where the victim suffered an actual loss. We would like to suggest that any business transactions that are legitimate do not require money to be sent to an individual via wire transfer. Most legitimate businesses have either an on-site local manager that you can deal with, or will provide an actual address that the money and paperwork is to be sent to. Individuals may be able to search the internet for a phone number or email associated to the ad which may point them to the fact that they should be extra cautious in their dealings.
