The SR-1 is the report people forget: it is owed to the DMV even when the police and the insurer already have reports, and a late one can cost a driver’s license. The form also says what the law calls financial responsibility:
Requirement: Report it if anyone was injured (no matter how minor the injury) or killed, or if property damage is over $1,000. (checked as: (whether anyone was injured = true or whether anyone died = true or estimated property damage in dollars > 1000))
Requirement: The driver files it regardless of fault, and in addition to any report to the police, the CHP or an insurer, whose reports do not satisfy this one.
Not eligible if: Not reportable: an accident involving a vehicle not required to be registered (an off-road vehicle, an implement of husbandry, a snowmobile), one on a military base, or one on the driver’s own property involving only the driver’s personal property with no injury or death. (checked as: (whether the vehicle is one that must be registered = false or whether it happened on a military base = true or whether it happened on the driver’s own property = true and whether anyone was injured = false and whether anyone died = false))
Not eligible if: No report is required if the vehicle was owned or leased by, or under the direction of, the United States, the state, another state, or a local agency. (checked as: whether the vehicle was owned or leased by, or under the direction of, the United States, a state, or a local agency = true)
The last day the DMV acts on a report: The DMV takes no action against a non-reporting or uninsured motorist unless an SR 1 is sent by someone involved in the accident, or their designee, and received within one calendar year of the accident date.
