Not all officers are trained in the Federal Motor Carrier Regulations. A Recordable Accident is defined as an accident resulting in a fatality, an injury requiring anyone involved being transported to a medical facility, or either of the vehicles requiring to be towed. There can be differences between a DOT Recordable Accident and a Recordable Accident. In Idaho, up until recently, any accident with damage exceeding 500.00 was recordable.
