MCOLES State Licensing Practice Exam

Does a train hitting a person on a bicycle require a UD-10 report?

1. Yes, because it involves a collision

2. No, because a motor vehicle must be involved

3. Yes, if there are injuries

4. No, unless there are multiple injuries

The correct answer is: No, because a motor vehicle must be involved

The correct answer is based on the specific regulations and definitions regarding what constitutes a reportable incident involving vehicles. A UD-10 report is typically required for collisions involving motor vehicles. In the context of this question, the key distinction is that a train, while it does collide with the bicycle, is not classified as a motor vehicle under the relevant traffic laws. The rationale behind this classification is that the UD-10 report is primarily intended for incidents involving motor vehicles, which are defined as vehicles such as cars, trucks, or buses that are driven on public roads. Given that trains operate on their own tracks and fall under different regulatory frameworks, collisions involving trains do not necessitate a UD-10 report unless specified by other local or state regulations. In situations involving a train and a bicycle, other forms of reporting may be required, but not a UD-10. Therefore, the correct selection aligns with the understanding that motor vehicle involvement is essential for triggering the necessity of such a report.
