What to do after a car accident - top tips
Stop the car as soon as you can - it's against the law to drive away, no matter how minor the collision or whose fault it was
Switch off the engine
Turn your hazard lights on - this is the button with two red triangles on your centre console
Check yourself and then your passengers for any injuries
Check that there are no injuries to anyone else involved in the and make a note of this even if everyone is okay
Dial 999 or an SOS phone to call an ambulance if anyone is injured or the police if the road is blocked, you believe drink or drugs are involved, or you suspect the collision was on purpose
Unless any injuries prevent it, remove all pets and passengers from the vehicle and make sure they're taken to a safe place
Exchange details with anyone
involved - name, address, car registration number
Don't apologise or admit fault - this verbal statement could be used against you when making a compensation claim and ultimately invalidate your claim
