When is towing of a vehicle in a traffic collision required?

Only if the vehicle is inoperable
If the vehicle is damaged or there is a death, injury, or vehicle code violation
Whenever the officer deems it necessary
Only if requested by the vehicle owner

The correct answer is: If the vehicle is damaged or there is a death, injury, or vehicle code violation

In a traffic collision, towing of a vehicle is required if the vehicle is damaged, if there is a death or injury involved, or if there is a vehicle code violation. Option A and D are incorrect as they only apply to specific situations, whereas towing may be necessary in other circumstances as well. Option C may be misleading as officers do have discretion in deciding when to tow a vehicle, but they must do so if any of the criteria listed in option B are present.
