Crash Reporting

One of the most common oversights identified in the national review of crash reports was a unification of enforcement regulations and crash data collection guidelines that were intended to be applied independently. Although the enforcement and crash data collection efforts support one another under the umbrella safety goal, they differ in their application. The enforcement effort involves action by application of a set of codified regulations (FMCSRs) under a controlled environment such as a roadside inspection. The crash reporting effort involves collection of data from a population of vehicles defined in the selection criteria. (See Examples Below)
