If involved in a traffic accident that is only investigated by German officials, are US forces drivers required to notify military police or security forces?

When a US Forces driver is involved in a traffic accident that is solely investigated by German officials, there is no requirement to notify military police or security forces. This is because the situation is handled within the scope of German law and authorities, and if there are no injuries or criminal elements involved, the military does not need to be consulted.

In these instances, the German authorities take full responsibility for the investigation, and the driver can focus on fulfilling their obligations according to the local laws, such as exchanging information with other involved parties and completing necessary paperwork. Since military jurisdiction does not extend to civilian accidents addressed by local authorities, the requirement for notification does not apply unless specific circumstances warrant it.
