You’re vehicle one, so you’re probably at fault.


You’re welcome.

Here's the first couple...

1- Is text input character limited as it suggests by the boxes in the main form? IE, if there are 15 boxes for name, does Alexander The Great get entered as "Alexander_The_G"?


2- What is the icon-area for vehicle configuration section? How is it used in the form? IE, if a passenger car (A), motorcycle (E) and school bus (I) get in a wreck, are they circled in this section? Are they referenced later in the form by letter?

3- Is Agency on bottom of page 1 same as agency at top right of page 1?

These types of questions... something someone who has filled out the forms many times would know how different sections are used.

TIA

I read a bunch of accident reports.

I would think that text input in these boxes are limited by the boxes. If more information is needed, it can be included in a narrative.

I don't have any idea what this is unless you are trying to draw a diagram. I do not know which section you are referencing.

I do not see a space for "agency" at top right of page 1.

It's not coming from the reports that I need... it's the input forms that I need help with.

1. No
2. Every vehicle involved in the crash will have a separate vehicle page where the configuration and other general info about the car is noted. So say vehicle 1 is a Ford fiesta.

A for passenger car, x for no trailer or cargo, 4 doors 2 axles 4 tires.

3. Sure?

THIS. But I still think more context is needed. Because if we knew the end result your trying to accomplish we can answer the questions accordingly. Those of us who know a bit about the LA Crash report system. But I can tell you that most if not all Officers fill out crash reports on a computer system these days. Very rarely will you still do a hand written crash report. Due to drawing out how the crash happened and narratives in it. Computers make it easier.
