What must a driver do if they experience a serious accident?

Call 911 only
Report to a DMV within 10 days
Report to a DMV within 5 days
Inform their insurance company only

The correct answer is: Report to a DMV within 5 days

When a driver experiences a serious accident, it is required to report the incident to the DMV within a specific timeframe. In New Jersey, for accidents resulting in injury, death, or significant property damage, the driver must report the accident to the Division of Motor Vehicles within 5 days. This reporting requirement ensures that the incident is documented officially and helps facilitate any necessary investigation or claims processes. Other choices may suggest timely actions, such as contacting emergency services or informing an insurance company, but they do not meet the specific legal obligations tied to the reporting timeline established by the DMV. This requirement is aimed at maintaining safety and accountability on the roads.
