What to do in case of
an accident

Turn off the ignitions
of the cars involved.

Check for injuries.
Life and health are more important than damage to vehicles.

damages to all vehicles involved.

Write down the names,
addresses and license numbers of persons involved in the accident. Also,

Make a quick diagram of
where the vehicle occupants were seated and indicate the vehicles'
direction of travel and lane. Also note the date, time and weather
conditions.
-
Call the police, even
if the accident is minor.

Jot down names and
addresses of anyone who may have witnessed the accident. This can
