  • South Carolina Traffic Collision Report Form (TR- 310) and Supplement Truck and Bus Report Form Instruction Manual (Rev
    South Carolina Traffic Collision Report Form (TR- 310) and Supplement Truck and Bus Report Form Instruction Manual (Rev. 8/2012) INTRODUCTION The instructions in the manual have been prepared to provide guidance for completing the South Carolina Traffic Collision Report Form (TR-310) and Supplemental Truck and Bus Report Form (Revised 9/2011) and the Addendum for Reporting through the SCCATTS System. Since January I, 1970, a standard form has been used by all law enforcement agencies within the State, including state, county and municipal agencies responsible for investigating and reporting traffic collisions. Those who investigate traffic collisions are one of the most important sources for departments and agencies concerned with highway safety. When investigating a traffic collision, your report provides specific, detailed facts that are of the utmost importance. Facts regarding traffic collisions are used for legal and insurance purposes as well as for identifying traffic safety hazards, developing appropriate countermeasures, and implementing such measures to eliminate the hazards. Familiarity with this manual will save you time and effort at the collision scene and will aid you in submitting the reports as accurately and completely as possible, thereby, making them of the greates value for collision prevention purposes. Each TR-31 0 consists of an Original Collision Report and three Financial Responsibility forms. The Original Electronic report is submitted through the South Carolina Collision and Ticket Tracking System (SCCATTS) to the Office of Highway Safety (OHS). The existing collision reports (paper) are submitted to the Office of Financial Responsibility. The Financial Responsibility forms (FR-IO) are issued to the driver(s) involved at the time of the collision.

  • Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles Driver's Manual
    A Message to Massachusetts Motorists from the Registry of Motor Vehicles Dear Motorist, The MassDOT Registry of Motor Vehicles is pleased to provide you with this updated Driver’s Manual. The manual is a helpful guide and a reminder that a driver’s license is a privilege, and with that comes the responsibilities of understanding and following the laws, and keeping you and other drivers safe on the road. In addition, the RMV is taking important steps since the Governor’s declaration of a State of Emergency in March 2020 to complement the work that has been underway for months across state government to keep residents safe and healthy. Certain processes have changed, and continue to change, due to the pandemic, so please check the RMV’s web- site (Mass.Gov/RMV) for the most up to date information. Please read the rules of the road in order to prepare for your road test and a lifetime of safe driving, bicycling, and walking. Some of the important points in the manual include: Hands-Free Electronics While Driving - Massachusetts law prohibits operators of motor vehicles from using any electronic device, including mobile telephones, unless the device is used in hands-free mode. Drivers are not permitted to hold or support any electronic device. Teen drivers are not allowed to use any electronic devices, even in hands-free mode. Fines and other penalties will be imposed for violators of the “hands-free law.” See page 68 for more information. Out-of-State Violations - Out-of-state motor vehicle violations impact your record just as if they occurred in Massachusetts.
