Revision question · Incidents, accidents and emergencies

In Great Britain, you are involved in an injury collision and do not produce your insurance certificate at the time. You must report it as soon as possible; what is the maximum reporting deadline?

Revision material from the imported DVSA bank includes source-checked Lanekind learning corrections. These corrections are not newly issued official examination questions, and practice does not reproduce a live test paper.

Report to police as soon as possible and no later than 24 hours. The separate requirement is to produce the insurance certificate at a police station within seven days. Do not treat the maximum deadline as permission to wait.
