Car crashes are something that don’t really bare thinking about but
unfortunately do happen.
After a drive to work, last week one of our staff saw encountering
tailbacks, and one particularly unlucky/lucky (depending on how you
look at it) member of staff witnessing a crash directly in front of him
but coming out unscathed, all due to heavy fog we thought it was
appropriate for us to try and prepare you for how to deal with a car
accident and give you some car accident advice.
So, what should you do if you have a car accident?

1) Stop
It’s possible the crash was so serious that all cars involved have been
brought to an immediate stop. However, if this isn’t the case you must
ensure that you stop your car in a safe and timely manner. Under the Road
Traffic Act it is an offence not to do so and could lead to you ending up in
prison. When you have stopped ensure your engine is switched off and that
your hazard lights are on.

2) Ensure no one is hurt
If anyone, including yourself, is hurt then you must contact the emergency
services on 999 immediately. Damage may not just be physical though, you
could well be dealing with shock immediately after the crash. If this is the
case then take a second to get your bearings, take a few deep breaths and try
and calm yourself down. The calmer you are the easier everything will be to
deal with. If everyone is ok but the accident has created a blockage in the
road the police should also be contacted.

3) Providing information
You are obliged to give your name, address and registration number to any
other involved parties after an accident. This also stands if you crash into a
parked car or someone’s property. Just because no one is present doesn’t
mean there aren’t other victims! All car accidents should be reported to the
police, 101 for less serious crashes, within 24 hours. Failing to do this could
get you a fine, points or even lead to you being disqualified.
