Driver's License Test Prep
Pennsylvania Practice Crash Procedures

According to the manual, which of the following must you get from the other driver at a crash scene?

  1. A.
    Registration numbers and insurance policy numbers Correct
  2. B.
    Driving history and past traffic violations
  3. C.
    Home mortgage lender and vehicle loan balance
  4. D.
    Employer name and yearly income
The Why

The answer is "Registration numbers and insurance policy numbers"

The manual lists four items to get from the other driver at the crash scene: names and addresses, telephone numbers, registration numbers, and insurance company names and policy numbers. Test-takers who pick driving history are borrowing from the driver-record lookup that PennDOT and insurers handle later; the manual's scene checklist is narrower and never asks the other driver to disclose prior tickets.

Why the others miss

The traps in the wrong answers

B. Driving history and past traffic violations

A driver's record is not something the manual asks you to collect at the scene; it is not information the other driver can be expected to hand over. This answer assumes fault will be sorted out on the roadside, so prior tickets feel like relevant information to trade.

C. Home mortgage lender and vehicle loan balance

The manual is concerned with identity, contact, and insurance, not personal finances or lienholder details. This answer anticipates the lienholder-notification paperwork a totaled-vehicle claim triggers weeks later and slots it into the roadside checklist.

D. Employer name and yearly income

The manual's list is about identifying the vehicle, the driver, and the insurance carrier, not the other driver's earnings. This answer reaches for the lost-wages evidence a personal-injury lawyer collects and treats those figures as scene-of-crash items.
