In certain reportable crashes, North Carolina law requires the driver to file what with the Division of Motor Vehicles?
-
A.
Proof of financial responsibility on forms provided by DMV. Correct
-
B.
A sworn statement of fault from both drivers.
-
C.
A copy of the vehicle's title and registration.
-
D.
A receipt showing payment of any damages.
The answer is "Proof of financial responsibility on forms provided by DMV."
In certain cases, state law requires drivers in a reportable crash to provide proof of financial responsibility, meaning liability insurance, on forms the DMV provides. Option C comes from carrying over a title-and-registration habit from license renewals or new-vehicle paperwork; neither applies to the post-crash filing the law requires.
The traps in the wrong answers
B. A sworn statement of fault from both drivers.
A sworn statement of fault is not required of either driver, since fault is determined by the officer's report and the civil process, not driver affidavits. This answer imports a fault-admission step from courtroom and personal-injury scenes that the DMV does not ask for.
C. A copy of the vehicle's title and registration.
Title and registration documents are tied to vehicle ownership and plate renewal, not to the post-crash DMV filing the manual describes. This answer carries over the title-and-registration bundle drivers hand to DMV at other visits.
D. A receipt showing payment of any damages.
The manual says nothing about proving payment for damages at this step, since property-damage payment is a separate civil matter handled through insurance. This answer treats the DMV filing as a damages-paid receipt rather than the insurance-coverage proof the law requires.
