A crash that police do not investigate requires you to file an SR-1 with the DMV once the damages reach what minimum dollar amount?
-
A.
$750. Correct
-
B.
$250.
-
C.
$1,000.
-
D.
$500.
The answer is "$750."
When police do not investigate, you must file the SR-1 if the crash caused injury or at least $750 in damage. The threshold catches most non-trivial collisions, so if you are unsure whether the damage clears $750, file the form rather than risk a suspension for failing to report.
The traps in the wrong answers
B. $250.
The SR-1 damage threshold is $750; $250 appears in this chapter as the starting fine for an insurance-coverage lapse, not the crash-reporting cutoff. This answer anchors on the $250 amount that stands out from the same page's insurance-lapse fine schedule.
C. $1,000.
Nevada sets the SR-1 trigger at $750, not $1,000; the higher figure would let many reportable crashes go unfiled. This answer rounds up to the tidy $1,000 mark that appears in other jurisdictions' property-damage reporting rules.
D. $500.
The SR-1 threshold is $750 in damage, not $500; a $500 fender-bender without injury does not have to be reported to the DMV. This answer reaches for the round $500 figure that several other states set as their crash-reporting floor.
