1. The Department shall prepare and upon request supply to police departments, sheriffs and other appropriate agencies or persons forms for written accident reports as required in this chapter, suitable with respect to the persons required to make the reports and the purposes to be served. The forms must be designed to call for sufficiently detailed information to disclose with reference to an accident the cause, conditions then existing, the persons and vehicles involved, the name and address of the insurance company, the number of the policy providing coverage and the dates on which the coverage begins and ends.
2. The form prepared for a report to be made by persons pursuant to NRS 484E.070 must call for such information as is required by the Department to enable it to determine whether the requirements for the deposit of security under chapter 485 of NRS are inapplicable. The Department may rely upon the accuracy of information supplied by a driver or owner on the form unless it has reason to believe that the information is erroneous.
3. Every accident report required to be made in writing must be made on the appropriate form approved by the Department and must contain all the information required therein unless it is not available.
