Which of the following is not a required crash-report action if you cannot locate the owner?

• A. Stop your vehicle in an area away from traffic; Leave your name, address, phone number and license plate number on the vehicle or property.
• B. Notify police.
• C. Complete all crash reports.
• D. Call your doctor to check injuries.

Answer: (D)

When a crash happens and you can’t locate the owner, the actions that are required by law focus on stopping safely, leaving your identifying information, notifying authorities, and filing the formal crash report. You should stop in a safe spot away from traffic, and leave your name, address, phone number, and license plate number on the vehicle or property. You must also notify police and complete the crash report as required by your jurisdiction. Calling your doctor to check injuries isn’t part of the crash-report procedures; you should seek medical care if you’re injured, but there’s no reporting rule that requires you to contact a doctor as part of the crash-report process.
