Which violation is categorized as a felony?

• A. Leaving Scene Of Injury Accident
• B. Obstructed Plate Or Using License Plate Cover
• C. Fail To Comply
• D. Leaving Scene Of Fatal Accident

Answer: (D)

Leaving the scene of a fatal accident is a felony because it involves a death, which triggers the most serious level of criminal penalties in traffic law. In New York, you must stop, render aid, and exchange information at the scene; failing to do so in a fatal crash carries felony-level consequences. The other options are much less severe: leaving the scene after an injury crash is a misdemeanor, obstructing a plate or using a license plate cover is a traffic violation, and failing to comply with a lawful order is typically a misdemeanor or violation. So the fatal-crash scenario is the one that fits a felony category.
