As Bernard J. in Hough v. Doe, 2006 BCSC 1450 noted at para. 24: In my view a proper determination of the efforts which might reasonably lead to discovering the identity of the unknown driver or owner must be made with due regard for the location where the collision occurred and the circumstances in which the collision occurred. For example, a collision which occurs at busy community intersection of a well-populated area on a weekday at 8:30 a.m., in relatively slow-moving traffic, might be witnessed by many people who: (1) pass by that intersection at a similar time daily by vehicle or on foot; (2) might have recognized the car or driver in question, or noted the licence plate number; and (3) who might respond to a canvass, posting, or advertisement with information leading to the identity of the owner or driver.
