DOT-recordable accidents

This quiz will test your ability to determine if an accident meets the FMCSA’s definition of an accident, and therefore must be recorded on your accident register. The regulations involved are 390.5 (definition of an accident) and 390.15 (the accident-register regulation) and the accompanying interpretations. Click below to see answers.

Recordable, or not?

  1. Our vehicle was damaged by a fire while operating on the roadway and had to be towed to a repair facility.
  2. Our vehicle lost a fender and headlight in a one-vehicle accident (damage was well over $3,000). The driver drove it in for repairs.
  3. The other vehicle had to be towed due to damage and the other driver was cited for failure to yield.
  4. Our vehicle had to be pulled out of the ditch by a tow truck. Once out, it continued on its trip under its own power.
  5. A passenger in the other vehicle said he was going to go to a clinic and get checked out later in the day. Neither vehicle involved had to be towed.

DOT-recordable accidents: Answers

Answers:

  1. Recordable. FMCSA defines a DOT-recordable accident as any incident that results in any vehicle involved being towed from the scene due to disabling damage.
  2. Not recordable. The dollar loss is not a factor in the decision. For the accident to be DOT-recordable, the vehicle would have had to have been towed from the scene due to disabling damage. NOTE: Dollar value is considered in most state laws when it comes to notifying the police of the accident.
  3. Recordable. Fault has no bearing on whether an accident must be on your accident register.
  4. Not recordable. For an accident to be recordable, the vehicle must have been towed from the scene due to disabling damage.
  5. Not recordable. For an injury to make an accident recordable, the injured person must have been taken for immediate medical care away from the scene.
