This comprehensive exam guide contains over 170 graded and verified questions from the 2025/2026 MPTC (Municipal Police Training Committee) Motor Vehicle Investigation module. Structured in a Q&A format, it covers all major areas of law enforcement responsibilities related to motor vehicles in Massachusetts. Key topics include the legal definitions of motor vehicles, operators, and public ways; procedures for lawful traffic stops; proper citation delivery methods; and the statutory timelines for inspections, registrations, and crash reporting. Also included are detailed questions on crash scene investigation using the RESPECT model, evidence collection (skids, yaw marks, scuffs, mechanical vs. human evidence), enforcement of Massachusetts General Laws Chapters 85, 89, and 90, and high-risk stop procedures using SCCAN and CYMBOLLS. Students will review inspection sticker classifications (Red R, Black R), emission failures, junior operator restrictions, and the identification of reckless or negligent operation. The guide expands into hazmat awareness, including federal laws (CERCLA, SARA, Clean Water Act), incident command protocols, and environmental control procedures. This resource is essential for MPTC police recruits, criminal justice students, traffic enforcement officers, and university-level learners studying motor vehicle law, crash reconstruction, or public safety. It supports both written exam prep and real-world application. Keywords: MPTC motor vehicle exam, crash investigation, RESPECT model, Massachusetts citation law, Chapter 90 violations, SCCAN method, CYMBOLLS, inspection stickers, public way definition, ULIARS arrest model, gap skid, yaw mark, reckless operation, hazardous material response, CERCLA, traffic stop protocol, vehicle search, emission rejection, uniform citation, field sketching, police academy training
