Police Entrance Practice Exam

When does a traffic collision on private property warrant a report?

1. For any collision

2. When there is death, serious injury, hit-and-run, or vehicle code violation

3. Only if both parties agree to a report

4. Never, as it is private property

The correct answer is: When there is death, serious injury, hit-and-run, or vehicle code violation

A This option is incorrect because not every traffic collision that occurs on private property warrant a report. Only specific circumstances would require a report to be made. C: This option is incorrect because a report may be necessary even if both parties agree to not file one. For example, if the collision is due to a vehicle code violation or if there is serious injury or death. D: This option is incorrect because although the collision occurred on private property, if it meets certain criteria such as a hit-and-run or serious injury, a report would still be required.
