This document presents 170 accurate and up-to-date questions and answers from the 2025/2026 MPTC (Municipal Police Training Committee) Motor Vehicle Investigation module. It provides a full overview of critical areas in law enforcement vehicle operations, including scene safety, evidence documentation, crash mechanics, citation protocol, and Massachusetts motor vehicle laws. Students are tested on the RESPECT model of crash investigation, Chapter 85, 89, and 90 regulations, citation delivery timelines, and the elements of lawful traffic stops using the SCCAN and CYMBOLLS methods. Additional topics include crash scene analysis (yaw marks, gap skids, offset skids, vehicle damage), field sketching techniques, hazardous material protocols, motor vehicle statute violations (CMVI vs. criminal), and legal justifications for vehicle searches or high-risk stops. Officers are also tested on their understanding of reckless vs. negligent operation, the operation of ATVs and snowmobiles, and crash-related injury patterns. The document integrates knowledge of crash force physics, human factors, and public roadway access to prepare students for real-world investigations and legal accuracy in reporting. This resource is essential for police academy recruits, criminal justice majors, and law enforcement professionals seeking certification or in-service training in motor vehicle enforcement and crash investigation under MPTC standards. Keywords: MPTC motor vehicle investigation, crash scene analysis, citation protocol, RESPECT model, SCCAN, CYMBOLLS, yaw marks, skid marks, Chapter 90 law, negligent operation, reckless driving, hazardous material scene, traffic enforcement, vehicle search, field sketch, crash force, Massachusetts traffic law, towing guidelines, patrol car positioning, public way definition
