Following a collision resulting in injury or property damage, which information must the operator provide?

• A. The operator's name and address, the registration number of the vehicle the operator was driving, and the name of the operator's motor vehicle liability insurer.
• B. The operator's license number only.
• C. The operator's social security number.
• D. The vehicle's color and year only.

Answer: (A)

After a collision with injury or property damage, you exchange information to identify who was involved and to keep the claim process moving. The essential details you must provide are your name and address, the registration number of the vehicle you were driving, and the name of your motor vehicle liability insurer. This combination confirms who you are, which vehicle was in question, and that there is insurance coverage to address the damage or injuries.

Other details like a license number, your social security number, or the vehicle’s color and year aren’t the information typically required for this basic exchange. The focus is on identifying you, linking you to the vehicle, and showing insurance coverage so the situation can be documented and claims can be processed. If local laws require police reporting or additional steps, those rules apply as well.
