When does a traffic collision on roadways or highways warrant a report?

Always, regardless of circumstances
When there is a death, injury, or vehicle code violation
Only if there is significant traffic disruption
Only upon request by a civil authority

The correct answer is: When there is a death, injury, or vehicle code violation

A While it is always important to report a traffic collision, regardless of circumstances, this option is incorrect because not all collisions warrant a report. For example, a minor fender bender with no injuries or code violations may not require a report. C: While significant traffic disruption may be a factor in determining whether to report a collision, it is not the only criteria. A collision with injuries or code violations, even if there is no traffic disruption, would still warrant a report. D: Request by a civil authority is not the only reason to report a traffic collision. If there are injuries or code violations involved, a report should be made.
