In an immediate report of an accident, the operator must immediately give notice by the quickest means if the accident results in injury, death, or property damage that cannot be normally and safely driven.

• A. By the Quickest Means of Communication
• B. Within 24 Hours
• C. Only If Requested by Law Enforcement
• D. After Leaving the Scene

Answer: (D)

The main idea here is prompt reporting of a crash when there are injuries, fatalities, or damage that prevents normal driving, using the quickest available method. The rule emphasizes getting the incident information to the authorities as soon as practicable, and doing so from a safe location. In practice, you should move to a safe place if you can, and then make the report right away by the fastest means (phone, radio, etc.). This sequence—ensure safety, then notify promptly—keeps responders informed and helps document what happened without leaving you or others at risk. Waiting longer or delaying notification undermines safety and accountability, which is why delaying until after leaving the scene is the correct pattern described.
