That's incorrect.
Youre actually required by law to provide your drivers licence number. Heres a quick summary of what the different acts say you must provide.
The Criminal Code simply states that for any accident (including boats and airplanes) you must stop and provide your name and address and offer assistance if needed.
The Highway Traffic Act states that for any accident, even if youre indirectly involved, you must provide in writing to any other involved persons your name, licence number, insurance info (jurisdiction, insurer and policy number) as well as the name and address of the vehicle and/or plate owner. Even if the accident is reported to the police, they complete an accident report form which includes all this information and is given to all involved persons.
The Compulsory Automobile Insurance Act is similar to the HTA. It states that for any accident, even if indirectly involved, you must provide the name and address of the insured person, vehicle details (make, model & serial number), start and end date of the policy, name of the insurer and their agent and policy number.
