If only the vehicle is damaged
If it occurs on private property

The correct answer is: If property damage is more than $1,500

Reporting motor vehicle accidents is crucial for ensuring accurate documentation and addressing legal responsibilities. In Idaho, accidents involving property damage exceeding a specific monetary threshold—set at $1,500—must be reported to the police. This requirement helps to establish a formal record of the incident, which is vital for insurance claims and any potential legal proceedings that may arise from the accident. The threshold is established to prioritize serious incidents and manage police resources effectively. If the damage is below this amount, while it’s still advisable to exchange information and document the details, there is no legal requirement to involve law enforcement. Understanding this reporting threshold is important for drivers in Idaho, as it helps clarify when to contact police and maintain compliance with state law. In situations where only minor damage occurs, or no injuries are involved, the need for a police report diminishes unless the damage exceeds that specified amount.
