Final answer:
The timeframe for a driver to report an accident to a carrier can vary, and while the moon can be bright, it is unlikely to cause significant visual impairment leading to an accident. Police would consider other factors in their investigation.
Step-by-step explanation:
When a driver is involved in an accident, they are typically required to report the incident to their carrier. The timeframe for submitting an accident report can vary depending on the company's policy and local regulations. However, the options provided (A) Within 24 hours, (B) Within 48 hours, (C) Within 72 hours, and (D) Within 1 week, do not correspond with any standard legal requirements without additional context about specific carrier policies or local laws.
In the scenario where a car accident occurs with a driver claiming to have been blinded by the full moon at midnight, the claim may seem unusual. While the moon can be bright, it is highly unlikely to cause significant visual impairment leading to an accident. Police investigating such a car accident would likely consider other factors such as driver distraction, impairment, or visibility issues rather than the moon as a primary cause.
