Car permit · Crashes and insurance

You bump a parked car that has no one in it, causing minor damage, and you cannot find its owner. In South Dakota, what are you required to do?

Correct answer: All of these are correct.

Answer options

  1. ANotify the South Dakota Highway Patrol about the crash
  2. BPut a note on the damaged car listing your name, phone number, and address
  3. CAll of these are correct Correct

Why

If you damage an unattended vehicle and its owner cannot be found, South Dakota requires two things: a note left on that vehicle with your contact details, and a prompt report of the crash to the nearest police authority, such as the Highway Patrol. Doing only one of them is not enough.
