When is it not obligatory to inform the police station about the hitting of another vehicle or property in the absence of its owners?
- When the accident’s impact is mild and the damage caused to the vehicle or to the property is not serious.
- When a car assessor, which is recognized for this purpose by the police, is called.
- When the incident is informed to the insurance company within the lawfully stated date and time.
- Correct answer: When a policeman happens to arrive to the scene and is informed about the incident’s details.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: When a policeman happens to arrive to the scene and is informed about the incident’s details.
A driver who hits an unattended vehicle or property must stop, leave their details somewhere visible and report it to the police station. If a policeman is at the scene and is given the details, the police already know about the incident, so a separate report to the station is not needed. Minor damage, informing the insurance company or calling an assessor does not replace reporting to the police.
