Logic Breakdown
Passage Summary: You have to report a car crash if someone got hurt or if there's a lot of damage, unless you're physically unable to. Ted doesn't have to report his crash.
Reasoning: Reporting is mandatory if there is injury or high property damage, provided the driver is capable; Ted is exempt from this requirement.
Analysis: This is a formal logic problem involving the contrapositive. If the requirement to report is triggered by (Injury OR >$500) AND Capable, then the absence of a requirement means either (No Injury AND <=$500) OR Incapable. Since we know Ted isn't required to report, we can infer that either his accident was minor or he is currently unable to file the report. Look for an answer that reflects one of these logical possibilities.

Correct Answer
B
If Ted’s car alone suffered more than $500 in damage, then the accident had property damage exceeding $500. Given Ted is not required to report, the only way that can be true under the statute is if he is incapable of reporting.
