Can failure to render assistance constitute a criminal offence when the requirements of Criminal Code article 195 are met?

Correct answer

Yes.

Yes. Article 195.1 provides a three-to-twelve-month fine for failing to assist a helpless person in obvious serious danger when assistance is possible without risk to oneself or others. If unable to assist, urgently request help from others. Paragraph 3 provides specific prison penalties when the person failing to assist caused the collision. Not every collision or failure to cooperate automatically meets the offence’s requirements.
