Crash Procedures
What to do at a crash scene: safety, reporting, insurance, documentation.
Crash Procedures rules in New York follow the federal framework with state-specific limits, distances, and exceptions. The practice questions below are drawn from the New York driver handbook, so they track the state's own rules.
