Safety Responsibility Act accord

Of the bureau of safety RESPONSE
bility of the Division of Motor

Many motorists believe they
only have to report an accident
when the damage amounts to $50
or more on their own car. This
Interpretation is incorrect, accord
ing to Riggin, who quoted the
act as follows:
'The driver of vehicle involv

jury to or death of any person
or total property damages to al,
apparent extent of $50, or more,
shall, within five days after the
accident, make written report of

Using simulated accident as
an example, Riggin explained:
Say, two cars are involved in
an accident and the damage to
one is $40 and the other SIS, MAX
ing total of $54 damages to both
cars. Both drivers must report
the accident to the Division of
Motor Vehicles"
On the other hand, should the
total damage to both cars amount
to less than $50, then the two
drivers are not legally required
