True or False: A crash involving only property damage can be reported if it meets the minimum threshold.

True
False
True, if it is over $500
False, property damage is not reportable

The correct answer is: True

The statement is true because in many jurisdictions, including the regulations that apply to crashes, there exists a minimum monetary threshold for reporting accidents that involve only property damage. When the costs to repair or replace the damaged property exceed this threshold, a report must be filed. This requirement ensures that significant incidents are recorded for legal and insurance purposes, providing documentation of the event. The minimum threshold can vary by state or region; however, it typically is in place to help prioritize reporting for more serious incidents that involve injuries or fatalities. As for the other choices, while there may be specific amounts (like the $500 figure) that apply in some areas, the correct and broader understanding is that any property damage crash meeting or exceeding the minimum threshold should be reported, thus affirming the truth of the original statement.
