Under which circumstance is processing the MV 104 form not required after an accident?

Processing the MV 104 form, which details an accident involving a vehicle, is specifically required under certain circumstances, particularly related to the extent of damage. In the case of damage being under $1000 to authority vehicles, the requirement to complete this form is waived. This threshold is established to streamline paperwork and focus resources on more significant accidents that could impact public safety or liability.

When damage exceeds $1000, it indicates a more serious incident that warrants formal documentation for insurance and legal purposes, ensuring an accurate record of the events that took place. Similarly, injuries and damage to another vehicle typically necessitate completing the MV 104 for liability and medical considerations. Therefore, the situation where damage is under $1000 to authority vehicles is the only circumstance where processing this form is not required, highlighting the importance of the established damage threshold in accident reporting protocols.
