Police did not investigate your crash, but one person was injured. Within how long does the manual tell you to send a Driver's Accident Report Form (AA-600)?
-
A.
Within 24 hours
-
B.
Within 30 days
-
C.
Within 5 days Correct
-
D.
Within 90 days
The answer is "Within 5 days"
The AA-600 must be sent within five days when police did not investigate a crash involving injury, death, or a tow. Thirty days in B is the appeal window for a suspension notice from the same chapter, pasted here onto the crash-report clock.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. Within 24 hours
The manual gives you longer than a single day to file the AA-600. This answer carries over the same-day-notification habit from other states and from insurance-carrier notice-of-loss rules that demand contact within a day.
B. Within 30 days
Thirty days is far longer than the manual allows for filing this form. This answer confuses the AA-600 deadline with the 30-day window drivers have to appeal a suspension notice in the same chapter.
D. Within 90 days
The manual sets a much shorter deadline than three months for filing the AA-600. This answer borrows the 90-day figure from the youth six-point suspension length and pastes it onto the crash-report deadline.
