Within how many hours after a reportable Oregon collision must you file a collision report (Form 735-32) with DMV?
-
A.
30 days.
-
B.
24 hours.
-
C.
72 hours. Correct
-
D.
48 hours.
The answer is "72 hours."
You must file within 72 hours of a reportable Oregon collision. The form is DMV Form 735-32, and a police report does not replace it; the driver or owner has an independent duty to file with DMV when the reportability thresholds are met. The 30-day figure in A borrows an unrelated administrative deadline; the 735-32 clock actually runs in hours, not weeks.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. 30 days.
The window is much shorter than 30 days. This answer extends the manual's 72-hour DMV filing window to 30 days, conflating the Form 735-32 deadline with longer administrative timelines not stated in the manual.
B. 24 hours.
The window is 72 hours, not 24. This answer shortens the manual's 72-hour DMV filing window to 24 hours, a deadline the manual does not state for Form 735-32.
D. 48 hours.
The window is 72 hours. This answer shortens the manual's 72-hour DMV filing window to 48 hours.
